Unicorn sunscreen
Color: Tinted (1.7 oz)
I've used at least three bottles of both the body and face sunscreens by this line. It's honestly a unicorn sunscreen. Actually clean ingredients, over 18% zinc oxide, which apparently is the minimum needed to actually combat harmful rays, affordable, actually sinks into the skin and doesn't leave a white cast, AND my kids don't complain when I apply it to them. I use very high-end facial products and I've added this very affordable sunscreen to my daily routine and have been extremely impressed. Highly recommend and I'm so glad I found it.

Pills up on skin
Color: Untinted (1.7 oz)
I’m on the hunt for the perfect mineral sunscreen for my face because the non mineral kind irritates my eyes. This had good reviews so I figured I’d give it a try. I’m disappointed.
Pros:
It is a mineral sunscreen. The pump application is nice and works well.
I like that it had skincare in it. It feels like moisturizer in my hand. Unfortunately it doesn’t behave that way on my face.
Cons:
It smells like diaper rash cream. This isn’t entirely a problem on its own, and being a mineral sunscreen I wasn’t surprised. But I’ve used others that don’t smell like this.
It pills like crazy. I’ve tried multiple ways of applying it, and I can’t keep it from pilling up on my skin like I’ve just used Dr Melaxin’s peel shot. By the time I wipe off all the little pills, I’m sure I’ve wiped away the sun protection.
I won’t buy this again

Clean ingredients
Color: Untinted (1.7 oz)
Good product. Runs a little thick like every sunscreen with zinc in it. thankfully has great ingredients and there is no beefy smell like some tallow brands. Enjoyable product.
