I have tried a bunch of moisturizers and I love this one! It doesn't make my face feel sticky at all and the thickness isn't too bad. I feel like it's that perfect thickness that leaves a base layer perfect for the rest of the day.
Amazing

I normally don’t review items publicly but felt I should warn others. This product is very thick and heavy, sticky on your face and does not absorb. RUN!
I don't get the hype

I am fastidious about my SPF in the morning so I have tried a lot of brands and this might be my least favorite. Horrible white cast (I am light/medium skin), a greasy feeling that doesn't quite absorb. But for all the heaviness, my skin doesn't feel moisturized. It sort of just sits on the skin while I still feel dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice, light weight spf moisturizer. I put this on daily because my skin is pretty dry and it does the job. I like how it doesn’t feel oily. It also comes in a nice bottle that is easy to pack. Overall great product.

I was skeptical since majority of the reviews state they’re paid promotions but i gave it a try anyway. A little goes a long way but with that being said it left a white cast and was difficult to rub in. It felt heavy so i ended up removing it shortly after putting it on
leaves skin glowing and protected from the sun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Avatara - THE SIMPLE SHIELD Moisturizer + SPF 30. This moisturizer does what it is supposed to do, it moisturizes very well and it leaves a nice sheen/glow afterwards. I like how it makes my skin feel and look that at times I don’t even put foundation on. I have sensitive skin but this moisturizer works beautifully and has not made me break out once since using it. Definitely recommend . And you can’t beat that it has spf in it . Love it! Sunscreen should shield without being seen. This invisible, oil-free, 100% mineral sunscreen with Ceramides and skin-balancing Kombucha bathes skin in essential sun protection and hydration. Bonus: BHA exfoliates to help keep pores gunk-free.everybody should be using this product.
so soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The simple shed moisturizer left my skin with a glow and protected for a day at the pool or breach. I love the cute container it comes in makes it easy to use and no need to worry about a spill. IT has a nice smell to it to.
Excellent Moisturizer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This moisutizer is nice and thick for an easy application but isn't weighty on the skin. The sunscreen works well for daily use, and the scent is very pleasant. This is my first time encountering a pump bottle of this design, and I'm a huge fan!
Moisturizes really well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This moisturizer worked really well and my wife and I have been using it for several weeks. It is very white and it takes a long time to rub it in. If you put to much on the longer it takes and leaves almost a pale residue.
Kinda thick but a good moisturizer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have some reservations on this moisturizer, but overall it is a good product. The cream is thick like sunscreen. When I apply it, at first, due to its thickness, my face would have some tint of white - just like when applying sunscreen. The tint goes away, and will not hinder any makeup application. Overall, I like how my skin feels after I use this product. I would get this again.
Really Good Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by this Avatara SIMPLE SHIELD Moisturizer. The first thing that caught my eye was the design of the bottle. Not just the color and text design, but also the way the bottle locks when you're finished using it - this is great for carrying in a purse or tote, as you don't have to worry about the product spilling out and making a mess. Likely the most important part of this product is that it goes on smooth. It did, however, feel a little heavier in that I felt like I had sunscreen on and did notice it several times. It wasn't a hindrance, just an observation. There's also the huge plus of this product being cruelty-free, which I typically look for in a good product. After many uses, I can say that for me this is a product that I can see myself using all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this product. The first thing I liked was the design of the bottle- it locks when you’re done using it, so you can put it in your purse, sun tote, glove compartment, etc. and not worry about it leaking everywhere. I also love that it's cruelty-free. It goes on fairly smooth, though I could tell that I was wearing sunscreen, but I’m super sensitive to that, so it could just be a “me” thing. It did do a pretty good job with protecting my face, but I see myself using it more as a base under makeup rather than a day at the beach sunscreen. Would buy again.
Leaves white cast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this moisturizer because it has the SPF already in it, but I just did not like it. It is hard to blend in. It leaves a white cast on my face. The pros are that it has a mild scent, not greasy and product comes out with a pump. I will not be purchasing this again.
Light and moisturizing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this moisturizer with sunscreen. Not oily, and hydrates my skin while protecting it from the sun. I will definitely be adding this to my morning routine. The packaging makes it convenient to toss in my handbag to reapply during the day when needed. A moisturizing sunscreen I can use all year.
Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Avatara Kombucha Simple Shield Moisturizer is really nice! I love that it also has SPF 30 in it! That's super importante to me in choosing a moisturizer. Aside from that I also like the scent! It's a loght moisturizer that I hardly noticed was on. It doesn't leave a greasy feel on my hands or face which is also a huge plus! Great product!
Feels heavy...

I like that it has sunscreen built in, but it definitely feels and performs like putting on sunscreen... a little goes a long way. It feels thick and heavy and like I need to wait 15-30 before putting on makeup. No pore clogging issues that I've seen, but I've only been using it a few days. Smells like lotion though, not like sunscreen.
Not my favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely wasn't my first choice, but it gets the job done. It definitely has a kombucha type smell so if that's your thing then more power to you. Overall its a decent moisturizer so I would recommend to others who are into that kind of thing.
Its okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that The Simple Shield is okay. I think that its too thick for my liking. And the smell is okay at best. I do like how it moisturizes. But, that is about it. I like that it has sun bloc in it.
