Awesome for dry to normal skin that won't break you out and will give you a glow!
By BarkyMelon on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024
I have been searching high and low for a natural (ALL natural and not MOSTLY natural) sunscreen that will keep my skin from getting burnt, looking like a mime/dead person/clown, moisturize vs dry out my skin more, not break me out, and is waterproof. This sunscreen checks all the boxes and then some. When you go down the 'natural' route...there are products that use some natural, mostly natural, and all natural ingredients. Those that do the all natural ingredients are few and far between. I have researched numerous...and I mean numerous sunscreens for one that is ALL NATURAL without titanium dioxide, a non nano zinc oxide content ABOVE 20%, waterproof and is tinted. The list is very short at that point... For those of you with normal to oily skin and who are used to chemical based sunscreens that absorb into the skin and leave a matte finish...this is not it. You will hate the feeling of this sunscreen 'sitting' on your face all day and not absorbing. If you also do not like the smell of cocoa butter you will dislike this too. I personally love the smell and it reminds me of hot cocoa. For the rest of us that prefer moisturizing sunscreens for our dry and sensitive skin...this is it guys! As long as you understand that this is not meant to 'sink into' your skin but instead act as a barrier to the UVA/UVB rays...you will be good. This lasts all day, through the hot and sweltering and humid Florida summer doing the watersports (because the sweat and humidity in the summer feel like they are water sports)! I do reapply mid day if I've really been pouring sweat to be safe but the beeswax does a good job of beading the sweat. As the name implies, it is a moisturizing cream so there is no need to apply a separate moisturizer. I apply this after a few serums in the morning and my face is happy all day. When I go to wash my face in the evening, it is nice and moisturized and not red or irritated. I have been using this a few weeks now and can happily report that I have not broken out at all. It has not irritated my face eczema or caused a rash/redness/pimples. I no longer have dry patches on my face when I wash off the sunscreen either so I am very happy at this dual purpose sunscreen that does all that it is supposed to do and then some. The proper amount for the face in sunscreen is 1/3 teaspoon or the size of a nickel. You should give yourself about 30 minutes to let it sink in before you head out or else it will have a little bit of a sheen to it--some like the dewy glow and some don't. It does absorb and not gleam as much after a little. There is no white cast and when you sweat, the tint is not running down your face and leaving white streaks. If you apply it only in the morning and are inside all day, by the evening, the sunscreen will have little to no sheen and you will just look like you have healthy skin. I love this sunscreen so much and all the benefits that each ingredient has for the skin that I bought another color. My skin matches great to the coconut tint but I also bought the bronze for those days when I want a little more color.

This finish is as described. But product smells terrible. I’d compare to maybe mushrooms cooking?

Great finish and coverage. I can’t get past the smell.
