Great Overall
I love that this is Zero waste packaging, and I love the ingredients as well. Sadly for me, I am a red head and the 30 spf is really not enough. My face didn’t burn, but I was able to layer it on pretty well. The rest of my body is another story. It did not break my face out, and I have acne-prone skin. The white cast wasn’t that bad but I’d don’t care about that anyways because I’d rather be wearing sunscreen that’s safe for the environment than bad for it just because it looks ‘good’. Will probably keep getting this tho because AllGood’s 50 spf is wayyy more expensive. Also thank you for selling this REI! I live in Wichita and it’s hard to find zero waste items in store here.
Great Reef Safe and Zero Waste Option!
I’ve been searching and searching for a Sunscreen that offered both Reef Safe/Skincare Forward Ingredients in either glass or a tin...finally found what I’ve been looking for. This Sunscreen does leave behind a white cast like many Zinc Oxide Sunscreens...but it fades in a few minutes and isn’t a deal breaker for me. The Oils and Extracts here leave Skin feeling soft, smoothed, and well nourished. I’m a total fan of this Sunscreen and I’ll be coming back for this and other Raw Elements Products!
effective, environment friendly, minimal packaging
I bought this sunscreen initially because it has the least amount of packaging and is rated safe for aquatic life. As an REI employee at the time, I could also see that it was shipped with minimal extra plastic. As a rub-on cream It is perhaps less convenient than a spray bottle or squeeze tube, but is that half minute of convenience really worth having a package or pieces of it that will be around for thousands of years? This aluminium packaging is readily recyclable, and lightweight for shipping and personal packing. I keep this in my backpack for my work commute by bicycle. I am someone who sunburns within minutes, and this sunscreen has gotten me home through some of the hottest Utah weather (2021 heatwave) without a sunburn.
goes on easily and doesn't turn us white
I have used this several times on my extremely fair and tattooed skin. I also use it regularly on my 5 year old. I love that it's all natural, reef safe and not packaged in plastic. It doesn't turn us ghostly pale, nor does it make me feel like my skin is smothered. It applies so nicely! It's not too thick and sticky. When you're trying to slather up a little one that's ready for adventure, easy application is essential!
Good for Brown Skin
I love this product. I had been looking for a natural, mineral sunscreen that did not leave my brown skin coved in a white/blue tint. This definitely left me satisfied. I bought this and two other products from the same brand. It does have a slight white cast but after working in, it was hardly noticeable on me. And not a all on my fair skinned two year old daughter. Its great for the whole family; kids, adults, sensitive, and breakout prone skin.
Has prevented sunburn
Excellent product! Where applied (arms, face and neck) skin actaully feels noticeably cooler. Spend a lot of time on a tractor in the high desert. Havent had a sunburn since i started using this product.
Great Sun Protection
This sunblock is great! I love this sunblock on my face because it doesn’t leave a greasy/oily residue. I also love that I can keep this in my trail pack and it doesn’t get thin and runny as the temps get warmer. I was somewhat concerned about the SPF factor because I generally go with SPF 50, however I was in high altitude sun and never got burned. This may be my new go to sunblock.
Great product
Bought this cause I'm trying to limit waste and my impact on the environment. I've been using it for a few months now and it works great. if you put the tin in your pocket for a couple minutes before you apply it, application will be much easier. I've used it on numerous biking/hiking/camping trips and never had to worry about burning.
Safe, Effective and Transparent
Received highest rating on Environmental Working Group website for safety and efficacy. Nice faint smell. Thick, but it absorbs and becomes transparent quickly.
A Fine Product
This is a fine product. It was absorbed easily and felt clean. I did not get burned at all. I did not 100% love the smell, but it wasn't bad.
