The label on the bottle does not match the advertising for this product. No where on the label does it list zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Instead the first listed active ingredient Avobenzone 2.4% , Homosalate 12%, Octisalate 4%, Octocrylene 4.8%. Not one of these ingredients were advertised, instead the label advertised stated Zinc Oxcide and Titanium Dioxide. We bought this as it was advertised as a mineral base broad spectrum sunscreen. I am sure it is a sunblock, but we specifically purchased it because of what was not in it. When we recieved it the label stated it contained active and inactive chemicals that were not listed in the advertised label. Extremely disappointing and inconvenient to return. Not a happy customer.

This is the ultimate sunscreen for sun protection. I hike all summer in strong sun at high altitude where the atmosphere is thinner and the solar radiation much stronger - Had been looking for a serious mineral sunscreen and this one does not disappoint. It will protect your skin! Be aware that it is so strong it does leave a white sheen on your skin, so you have to be okay with that. To me, totally worth the sun protection and the white color does reduce after a few hours. Plus the price is quite good for a mineral sunscreen.Here is the thing to understand. Mineral sunscreens like this reflect solar radiation off, so it doesn't get into your skin. Chemical sunscreens instead "absorb" the radiation. I didn't understand this until recently but I finally have an explanation why the chemical sunscreens with crazy high spf like 50-70 again and again worked less well than the mineral spf 30. Mineral sunscreen is just more effective. Also good for people who are concerned about the chemicals in the chemical based sunscreens. Read more

The only two good things about this product are the value and the fact that it is a mineral sunblock without a bunch of added fragrance or other "junk" ingredients.Bottom line: I dislike this product. It arrived with the inner seal disturbed, and the sunscreen itself was badly separated. Being in a large bottle with a pump, mixing it up once separated is very difficult. Even once getting out a bit of a well-mixed portion,it spreads unevenly.I am very very pale (definitely a 1 on the Fitzpatrick skin type scale), and this still leaves a very white cast on my skin. It also rubs off easily on clothing, hands, e.t.c., even long after application. This causes me doubt in the sun- protection department, since it never seems to set up on the skin properly.Reapplication is very important with sun block usage, and this is horrible to try and reapply midday. The first layer always dries out, showing textured patches on the skin, making the next layer even HARDER to spread. The white cast only intensifies... which is wild. I try to think of myself as looking like an upper-class 18th century Parisian, but really, I just look like rubbish.I was going to return it, but I know that, most often, returned personal products just get sent to the landfill. I'm continuing to use it for home days, events where I'm mostly covered by other sun protective gear.. basically, any place where I'm not planning to be seen or really relying on it for adequate spf.... which means it is basically useless.

I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing and was surprised they vary significantly. I recently threw out any sun protection products that contained chemicals. Then I was on a mission to find a UVA/UVB broad spectrum mineral sunscreen that contained both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This product contains both (zoom onto Drug Facts on this page).I did many stupid things as a teenager trying to get an instant tan in foggy San Francisco and paid the price. Today I am much more cognizant of the dangers of the sun. Daily I use a moisturizer with SPF 50 on my face, 365 days a year whether indoors or out. For long hours gardening, however, I use SPF RX Sunscreen. It goes on white. It stays white. It does NOT rub in. For me, that is a definite plus. Of course, I also wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed sun protection hat.I do not understand the reviews that state this product comes in a bottle with chemical ingredients included. The product I received is in a tube exactly as shown. Read more

I took this product to Hawaii for my vacation recently and when I had my resort day I ended up burning within an hour, and the bottle states that reapplication needs to be after 80 minutes of swimming or every 2 hours if not. This product does not work when vacationing in Hawaii because you will burn easily. The product is very difficult to apply and doesn't apply evenly and will need additional time to spread out the white patches or residue that is left. When applying this product will turn your skin white and doesn't fade unless you shower and scrub it off. I purchased the product in advance and didn't start using it until my vacation which was my mistake because I would have returned it the next day have I tested it. Read more

My dermatologist told me about using the titanium & sink blocker. What she sold was so expensive, I got on amazon and searched and searched until I found this. At first it left my skin white then (due to my very dry skin) I oil my face first - (you could use a lotion) - then I apply the block (A SMALL dot goes a LONG way ... then once worked in input on my foundation and other makeup. I like knowing I'm safer with a block.PS-every once in a while I'll get a little white flake that doesn't work into my skin, I remove it and disgard. Read more

Good protection Read more

Very satisfied with the product. Read more

Ordered for my face only as I have malsalma and did not wish the dark patches to darken more in hot weather.You only need a tiny amount, so lasts a long time. The cream is very thick and white,you will have to rub into your face for sometime for your skin to absurd, avoiding looking like a clown! Great value for money. Read more

Uno de los mejores protectores solares que conozco. Lo llevo ultilizado dos temporadas y nuca nos hemos quedado. Mi hija tiene la piel muy sensible y con otras marcas le salen ronchas rojas en seguida. Con este protector nunca le salió ninguna reacción. Lo seguiré recomendado y comprando. Read more
