Rubber Ducky Natural SPF 30 untinted Sunscreen - Face and Body - all-natural, chemical-free, non-nano zinc oxide - 3.3 ounce

The second I put this in my palm to put on my face, I knew. It had the consistency and runniness of mayo. My house is air conditioned to 72 degrees, I can't imagine how messy it would be if you took it to the beach and tried to use it.I slathered this on my face and wow, it looked like I had just applied oil to my face. I figured it would absorb with time. I waited 15 minutes and then went out in 80 degree weather. Keep in mind, I didn't sweat at all but it was hot outside. After my thirty minute outing, I came back in to assess my face. Looks visibly wet and there were white dots and streaks where it stuck to my face weird. I appreciate glows like every other female, but this is beyond. My pic with flash really can't do it justice. I can't imagine using this in hot weather and if I'm sweating. Returning!Giving it two stars, because I'm sure it has great water resistance (I would imagine water would just fall right off the oil)! If you don't mind the grease and are pale, it would work for you. Good luck.

I'm not saying this is a perfect sunscreen, or that it will suit everyone. I'm just saying that this is the best sunscreen I have ever used, and I've tried an awful lot of sunscreens, both chemical and physical. I stopped using chemical sunscreens years ago because they burn my eyes, but then I ran into the problem of the ghost look with the physical sunscreens. I'm very pale, though, and I've had skin cancer twice, and I live in San Diego, so I didn't have much of a choice. With Rubber Ducky I have the best of both worlds. I can protect my skin all day, and I don't have to look like a ghost.It looks a bit dark coming out of the tube, but it blends right into my skin. I don't look made up, just evened out. It's very easy to spread, and it dries quickly. It's a little oily, but in the desert that's a plus. It's not so oily that my face looks greasy, just dewy. The scent is kind of a nut and floral scent and it fades very quickly. It doesn't sweat off, it doesn't sweat into my eyes, it doesn't burn my eyes or irritate my skin. After a few days of using it, my skin is much smoother and softer.The active ingredients are Zinc Oxide (Non nano) 8.5% and Titanium Dioxide 7%. Zinc is the best broad spectrum sun protection there is. It blocks the UVB rays that burn you, and the UVA rays that age you, and it doesn't break down in sunlight. Titanium is not quite as good as zinc at the UVA rays but is still very effective at blocking harmful radiation from the sun. Both are completely reef safe. When they wash off in the ocean, they just go down to the bottom of the sea like all the rest of the sediment and sit there. Both are chemically inert and will not harm sea life any more than any other rocks or sand.The rest of the ingredients are pure and biodegradable and will not harm living things. It's not a vegan sunscreen because it has beeswax, but it's full of oils and herbs that are good for your skin.Organic BeeswaxComfrey ExtractAlmond OilOlive OilAvocado OilChamomile ExtractAloe Vera ExtractSafflower OilShea ButterLavender OilMango ButterGlyceryl Caprylate*Glyceryl Undecylenate*Sunflower OilCocoa ButterCandelilla WaxTocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E)Iron Oxide*Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Undecylenate are natural preservatives.

I care what is put on my kid's skin. It is important that it be as natural as possible, because who wants a bunch of chemicals slathered all over you? This sunscreen applies easily, is not greasy, and lasts a long time. No more fighting to get the sunscreen on. It is great and is the only thing i use on my kids.

I am super fair and used this sunscreen exclusively for a two week beach vacation. I love that it's reef safe and was super impressed with how long one application lasted. There were times when we wold snorkel for 2 hours at a time (with no reapplication opportunity) and I didn't get more than a little pink during the entire trip (a first for me). The downside to the amazing longevity was attempting to get the remnants off at the end of the day. Even after showering it still felt like I had some residue. Application can be a little tricky - it's a bit hard to spread so applying little bits at a time worked best. Once on, the sunscreen feels very greasy and unfortunately it caused both my husband (who has perfect skin) and me (who has only OK skin) to break out so I would not use it on my face again. I ended up with noticeable sunscreen on my swimsuits and cover ups but it all came out in the wash. Given the great coverage, I'm going to try some other products by Rubber Ducky to see if I can find something that isn't so greasy.

Having used Rubber Ducky for over 20 years, I am a big fan. It has protected our skin from burning on several trips. On one trip, with 12 other adults, my husband and I were the only ones to not get burned. There are several varieties to meet many needs. The company is a first class enterprise.

I have to be honest: this sunscreen will be more or less flattering depending on your skin tone. I have an olive complexion, so the color was not a problem for me. It is also a little greasy, but if you live in a cold climate like me, the oils really help to protect your skin. I have been using natural mineral (zinc oxide based) sunscreens for a couple years now, but I defintely see a big difference when using this one. It IS the best sunscreen I ever used without any doubt. I have sensitive skin recovering from acne scars and my skin feels soothed and protected: it's like the sun rays never reach it. I'm really glad I found this company and I want to support their products as they're non-toxic and extremely effective. I know they can still make some progress with their formulation: yes, the smell is not my personal favorite, it is a little bit oily and the color sometimes is not perfect (they also use beeswax which I don't really like either), but it works beautifully and protects your skin like nothing else, and I'm sure they will keep up the good work! Big thumbs up for Rubber Ducky, hoping they will release a vegan, more aesthetic version one day: for now, the best sunscreen out there.
