(More customer reviews)Many of the "natural" sunscreens still have the chemical sunscreens in them that are carcinogenic. This one does not and is rated quite well at the environmental working group website for safety. I've tried 4 or 5 truly natural sunscreens that use titanium or zinc oxide. Some were horrific, this is one of my favorites. Just a warning the Burt's Bees Sunscreen was the worse if you're looking around at options, it went on so dry you couldn't spread it, it clumped, sweated off almost immediately, and it didn't work, I burned terribly. So, finding one that works for you is important.
But, I regress.... Any natural sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium oxide will go on white. But, this one rubs on nicely and eventually as the sunscreen heats up it will become less white and eventually barely noticeable. The price and quality is very reasonable on this product.
The truly natural sunscreens like this are not overly water proof but once again this one was much better than most of the other's I tried. It at least could handle some sweat and wadding around in the water. If you were full on swimming I'd recommend reapplying often.
Over all, it worked well... I did not burn, it goes on reasonably well for a truly natural sunscreen, it's mildly water resistant unlike some that can't even handle sweat, and I did not burn while using it. I will buy this again when I run out.
