Q: I recently purchased thinksport spf 50, which arrived w the new packaging and has a new scent. It was watery; I'm unsure if it's damaged. Is it supposed to have a new scent and thinner consistency?
submitted by DTNJ - 3 years ago
A: We are terribly sorry for this inconvenience, and we will direct this to our QC team immediately. Please be assured that the product is still both completely safe and effective. The water should simply be discarded, meaning you can squeeze it out right away and then shake up the rest of the product in the tube and it should blend together to be a more cream texture. The product remaining in the tube should be applied normally and still contains all the active ingredient—pure zinc oxide and will still deliver the full SPF protection and functionality. If you'd like to send us your lot number (on the back of your tube at the top) or have further questions, please email us at info@gothink.com

Q: What's the difference between this formula and the kids? Read both labels and don't readily see what it could be.
submitted by Kel G - 5 years ago
A: Only the fragrance is different- the kids' formula has a sweeter smell, and the adult one has a citrus smell. Personally I prefer the citrus and find it softer.
This sunscreen has garnered mixed feedback from guests, with many appreciating its effective sun protection and cleaner ingredients. However, concerns about its thick consistency, white cast, and recent formula changes have left some guests disappointed. While it offers good coverage and is suitable for sensitive skin, the application process can be challenging. Guests recommend it for outdoor activities, especially in sunny climates, but advise caution for those sensitive to texture or scent.

Gross
I feel so gross having this on. It’s so hard to blend in, smells weird & gets EVERYWHERE so lots of my items & car seats are stained from this sunscreen. I appreciate the clean ingredients & being reef safe but it doesn’t mean anything now when the sunscreen is just a terrible experience to use

Burnt after 2 hours
Doesn’t perform as expected. I burned badly after just two hours at the beach, which is unusual for me when using SPF 30 from other brands. It also leaves a noticeable white cast on the skin.

So tired of the constantly changing formulas for the worse
They've done YET ANOTHER formula change to ALL of their liquid sunscreens. The new formula now has TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE which is silicon based. They also added SODIUM HYALURONATE which is derived from animal cartilage, so the product isn't vegan or cruelty free anymore! To top it off, they also added NATURAL FRAGRANCE Oil, so those who hate scent or have sensitive skin, no one cares about you! Now I have to find a new sunscreen to use. What a shame. And shame on ThinkSun for letting their greed ruin their products.

DO NOT BUY
Vacationing in Hawaii and decided to give this a try. ALL 6 of us that put this on ended up with blistered chemical burns. We have all of the pictures to prove it. We could all feel it burning immediately when putting it on our skin. We had hardly even been in the sun yet.

Really great sun protection and smells great
Great coverage. Really nice smell. Really great sun protection with none of us burning over the summer in Texas. This is now my go to sun protection every summer. It does leave a white cast, but it’s for sun protection. I’m ok with that.

Great in Hawaii
Worked really well, you will need to reapply after 2 hrs swimming. Also rubs off if you are sitting in a seat or drying off or wearing clothing over it, like any sunscreen. Not too chalky. Would use it again.

Wow. I love the texture of new version. Non-greasely
I have been used the older version. It is very oily. The new version is amazing. Not oily at all and no white cast. Just leave you dewy look. The cream is firmly like matte cream.

I just can't
I just can't give this a good review. It's too thick and hard to use. It keeps me white for pretty much the whole time I wear, is gross feeling becuase it's so thick and it's really hard to get off when I shower. I have to exfoliate to get it off. I guess it just doesn't work for me like it does for others.

I won't be buying anymore
It's unfortunate that this company went the way of investors and all they want to do is save money. The new formulation is awful. Comes out watery and doesn't feel good on anymore.

Effective
Definitely worked, but be aware of whitecast. I am fine with whitecast, so I wore it, but some folks might not like that.

Does the job
Worked really well. A bit hard to spread out but it lasts for hours so you don’t have to worry about reapplying. It does leave a white cast, especially if you’re not particularly pale, but that doesn’t bother me much. It did dry my skin out after using it for 6 days in a row, but with normal use, not an issue.

New Formula
What did you do??? This was once the best sunscreen I ever used in my life. I been using this for few years and loved. I recently re order this and the formula ingredients have completely changed with all preservatives and no aloe. I got this formula is I have always used on my face. This time it was oily and made face break out. It has a odd smell that made me feel unsafe to put on and not to mention for the first time I burned real bad after using this sunscreen. This formula is more oily and thick and less effective not too much less healthy and packed with perseveratives. I am really upset over this because I burn easy with sensitive skin and thought I found a healthy alternative but I have noticed since another corporate takes over these small companies they cut the cost of the healthy ingredients for preservation and toxic. I used this sunscreen daily and now it's like I lost a really good thing and will need to find elsewhere. Please go back to original formula!

Repeat buy
Good price for ewg higher rated sunscreen. Use it on kids and myself. Requires a bit more rubbing but I think all mineral sunscreens do. Good Price for bigger tube, lasts a while.
