Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face

I bought this as I was looking for a sunscreen with mineral filters that would go on without a white cast. I liked that there were three shades available instead of a universal tint. Before I state my pros and cons, if there’s one thing you need to know before purchasing this product, it’s that THIS IS NOT A SUNSCREEN WITH THE ADDED BENEFIT OF A SHEER TINT TO OFF SET THE WHITE CAST. THIS IS A LIGHTWEIGHT BUT BUILDABLE COMPLEXION MAKE-UP WITH THE ADDED BENEFIT OF SPF. Pros: The product went on smooth and creamy with a tint that blended well with my skin tone; it had a pleasant scent without being overbearing; the ingredients list looked good. Cons: The water resistant claim is suspect as sweating broke the product up on my skin; this is not a color fast tint formula and the sunscreen will stain any fabric that comes into contact; while lightweight on first application, the product layers on very thick on reapplications and the tint builds and becomes more pigmented; there was some oxidation as throughout the day it becomes slightly more orange. I’m disappointed it didn’t work for me. I’m an active person who sweats a lot and travels place to place on bike, so this is not a sport friendly sunscreen. That’s not to say it’s a bad product. It has elegant formulation would really work as an affordable alternative to liquid foundation if you wear make-up. The SPF 50 is pretty high compared to many liquid foundations, CC creams, and tinted moisturizers which usually have an SPF range of 15-35 so that’s a plus. Ultimately, I think Australian Gold has a good product but they really need to distinguish this more as a Beauty product with SPF rather than advertise it as an everyday sunscreen with tint.
