Guests are saying
This sunscreen is praised for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and provides excellent sun protection without leaving a white cast. Many guests appreciate its ability to hydrate the skin while reducing redness, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. The subtle green tint is a bonus for those with rosacea. However, some guests experienced breakouts, so spot testing is recommended before full use.

The Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 is amazing. It truly is extremely light and smooth on my skin. It doesn't clog my pores but keeps me very protected. It's easy to apply makeup over also. I highly recommend this product. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light green tint keeps the natural redness of my skin down. The touch on my skin is light after applying. I am very happy with this product. Hope to use it all summer here in Colorado.
Beautiful texture but may irritate, leave cast

This product will be a godsend for some people. The texture is beautiful: light and hydrating (with a matte dry-down after about 15 minutes). It is also truly unscented. My issue is the product contains Butyloctyl Salicylate, which my dermatologist told me is almost identical to octisalate (ethylhexyl salicylate), a chemical sunscreen filter. Now, I’m not one of those people who is scared of chemical sunscreens—I’d love to wear those beautful products—but, I am someone who does not tolerate octosalate (runny nose, red skin, itch). This 100% mineral sunscreen gave me the same reaction. Finally, I hesitate to agree this product does not leave a white cast. I wouldn’t call myself melanated, but I am of southern-Italian descent, so I have a bit of color. This definitely gave me that powdery look. I get it: it’s basically impossible to make a zinc sunscreen that’s effective, non-nano, non-tinted, and non-white-cast wearing. I just wish brands would stop claiming their product is “clear. ” TLDR: Contains an ingredient that may irritate if you are sensitive to chemical sunscreens. Visible on Fitzpatrick III skin tone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother died from Melanoma at age 62. I take sum protection very seriously. This product is an answered prayer. No longer do I loathe putting on sticky tacky sunscreen on my face that makes me look white as a ghost. This lightweight and effective cream goes on like magic and the green tint calms my rosecea. It's heavenly to wear and it works! I spent 4 hours doing yardwork and I didn't get even rosy. Thank you for making a superior product!
Skincare for the win!

Hero never misses I swear!! This is just another hit for me. I really enjoy how this is made specifically for ance prone skin because most sunscreen break me out unfortunately. Also, the average sunscreen tends to be a way thicker consistency, which it takes awhile to absorb into the skin, this is an ariey-light weight formula crafted for comfortable everyday wear AND SPF 30. I couldn't ask for much more. :) I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

Purchased this because it is a mineral based sunscreen and I am trying to avoid using chemical sunscreens. I have a bit of redness on my face and this does help minimize that. It does leave a very minimal white cast but nothing compared to many other mineral sunscreens. I like that this is odorless and the way it feels on my skin. Feels really light and drys quickly but without being drying on my skin. This has been my go-to for about a week now for daily wear.
pretty good

I have wicked sensitive red skin and this calms it down and protects me. I do not breakout at all which is also an issue for me with ALOT of products. I wish they made it in a big container for the rest of my body.
