Works great for swimming, snorkeling, and hiking. I especially like the stick for easily applying it to my legs and arms. This sunscreen glides onto arms and legs with good coverage and appears clear.

Way too thick and sticky to use on the face. It might be moisturizing I guess? Husband hates it.

I use this daily. I keep one in each of my purses. It’s discreet, small, and effective. I rub it all over my face and hands. It doesn’t leave too much of a white residue. I do, however, spread it out with my hands to make sure. I don’t feel it makes me oily nor has it broke me out
Good for limited uses.

Just get one and keep it in you purse for ever. Reapply to your hands and neck as much as you can through the day to prevent dark spots on hands and neck. This is my go to when traveling or going on backpacking trips or river trips. It packs easy because of its size. You won’t worry about spillage on your luggage or purse. It’s is easy to carry around because it is not heavy. And it is easy to re apply through the day if you are in the beach, river or camping.

It wasn’t terrible. It left a little white cast but I wasn’t too worried about that. I accidentally left it in the sun while we were out for a few hours & when I came home it smelled like straight fish so I ended up throwing it out.

I use this exclusively around my eyes. I'm quite fair and by reapplication time the white cast does sometimes give me a bit of an inverse raccoon thing, especially if I don't rub it in well enough. But, you get a lot of product for the price, the cast isn't a deal-breaker for casual wear (at least on my translucent deepsea fish skintone), and it doesn't sting or otherwise irritate my sensitive eyes.
not sheer but protection seems fine

alexxa - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
this 100% leaves a white cast if your skin is darker toned. my face looks ridiculous with this on so I use it on my tattoos. since this is a zinc sunscreen it is NOT supposed to absorb into the skin; it sits on top and (arguably) gives better protection. probably won’t buy this one again though.
Natural but not practical

Emery B - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This has the same problems as other mineral sunblock: It’s pasty and doesn’t absorb well. This can result in it being very messy as it can smudge onto anything your skin touches. It’s nice that it’s natural, but I just don’t find it to be practical.

Despite the product saying that it leaves no residue my skin has a white residue that I have to rub in. The point of purchasing a stick and not a cream or spray is to not actually have to rub the product in. Product also claims a no mess application, again if I have to rub it in that does not meet the definition of no mess in my book. Purchased this to replace a previous neutrogena stick that I loved but the store no longer carried and am not pleased with the product. I am also sensitive to fragrances and while it says there are no fragrances, parabens of dyes there is definitely an odor to the product.
