Not the worst sunscreen but if you try to apply it over your normal morning skincare without waiting it will pill pretty badly. I have medium tan/oily skin and there is a noticeable white cast that fades after a couple minutes. It doesn't give me breakouts but it has made me feel greasy after a few hours. Perfectly fine for a body sunscreen but would try to find something else for face.

I used this properly, and it did not protect my face. I got a burn. I am a daily spf user because I am fair with freckles. I wanted to like it because it's a micro zinc that does not leave a cast. BUT it did not protect my skin. It smells very pretty, like a botanical smell, and the scent is light. I won't buy it again because it did not work for me.

This is all I've used on a consistent basis with my daughter. When I've tried to switch to other brands she ends up with a burn or itchy bumps. The only issue is she doesn't get a tan when we use this. Even tho she is on the swim team she is super pale. But at her age I'm more interested in saving her skin and if I forget to reapply in 90 minutes I know she'll be okay.

My kids use this sunscreen, my husband and I use this sunscreen, everyone uses this sunscreen. It's one of the few sunscreens I really enjoy the smell of and though it's mineral-based, doesn't leave that thick sticky residue all over your body once you rub it in. It is literally the only sunscreen I will ever buy!

We used this Sun lotion on our 3 year old boy for a whole week in Mexico and it protected him for a Sun burn every day. We are happy to say this is easy to apply and it offers great protection for kids while being safe for the ocean.

I started buying this sunscreen for my son a few years ago. We now buy 3-4 bottles at a time because our whole family uses it on a daily basis. We have never had an issue with sunburns, and we have never had any sort of reaction to it. Thank you for making such a great product!

I feel like I got a bad batch… I was so happy to have found this, but both of my kids burned in the sun after I generously applied this like I normally do. No water play, just outside in the yard.

IGP - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
Just received this SPF and so far so good! I purchased this for my toddler and gave it a try for my face sunscreen as well. Easy to rub in one her and the white cast is OK. You just have to make sure to rub it in a little extra and once you do there is no white cast. We do have light skin with yellow undertones. I’ve been looking for hydrating mineral sunscreen and I think I finally found one. Other mineral sunscreen leave me really dry and this one leaves us hydrated. For face , some might say oily but my skin is so dry from my tretinoin used at night. I find it to work well throughout the day and under makeup also. I do use powder spf throughout the day to set the shine that comes through . So if you have oily skin this might now work for you. Only 4 stars because on the app it says it’s spf 50+ but I received it and its spf 50.

I wanted to try and minimize the harmful chemicals in the sunscreen my kiddos use. So after doing loads of research I decided to give this a try. Yes it is thick and can leave a white cast if not rubbed in properly. I found using a smaller amount at a time I was able to get it to rub in with very little to no white cast. May take longer to get the kids fully covered but it works for us. It did leave a slight greasy feel to it. It didn’t really bother the kids or me. The smell is very light kinda of citrusy. I didn’t mind it. It was better than the usual sunscreen smell. We have very sensitive skin and this didn’t break us out. So far no sunburns. Definitely on the top of my list of sunscreens.

Great sunblock - 11 months ago
originally posted on https://gothink.com/
I have been using the Thinksport kids sunblock for 3 years now and my family loves it. It is super protective and does not contain any chemicals - not "polluting" our bodies, but also rivers, lakes, and oceans. It does leave you a little bit ghosty-looking when you first apply it but that is the price of protection :) ...it absorbs some with time! I love the larger size too so that we don't have to buy a new tube every week - I usually order two tubes and our family of 4 is set for the summer season (we use the face stick in winter when we go skiing too).
