Misleading Advertising
The label on the bottle does not match the advertising for this product. No where on the label does it list zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Instead the first listed active ingredient Avobenzone 2.4% , Homosalate 12%, Octisalate 4%, Octocrylene 4.8%. Not one of these ingredients were advertised, instead the label advertised stated Zinc Oxcide and Titanium Dioxide. We bought this as it was advertised as a mineral base broad spectrum sunscreen. I am sure it is a sunblock, but we specifically purchased it because of what was not in it. When we recieved it the label stated it contained active and inactive chemicals that were not listed in the advertised label. Extremely disappointing and inconvenient to return. Not a happy customer.

Mineral sunscreen works better and this one is very strong and effective.
This is the ultimate sunscreen for sun protection. I hike all summer in strong sun at high altitude where the atmosphere is thinner and the solar radiation much stronger - Had been looking for a serious mineral sunscreen and this one does not disappoint. It will protect your skin! Be aware that it is so strong it does leave a white sheen on your skin, so you have to be okay with that. To me, totally worth the sun protection and the white color does reduce after a few hours. Plus the price is quite good for a mineral sunscreen.Here is the thing to understand. Mineral sunscreens like this reflect solar radiation off, so it doesn't get into your skin. Chemical sunscreens instead "absorb" the radiation. I didn't understand this until recently but I finally have an explanation why the chemical sunscreens with crazy high spf like 50-70 again and again worked less well than the mineral spf 30. Mineral sunscreen is just more effective. Also good for people who are concerned about the chemicals in the chemical based sunscreens.

Great for Gardening
I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing and was surprised they vary significantly. I recently threw out any sun protection products that contained chemicals. Then I was on a mission to find a UVA/UVB broad spectrum mineral sunscreen that contained both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This product contains both (zoom onto Drug Facts on this page).I did many stupid things as a teenager trying to get an instant tan in foggy San Francisco and paid the price. Today I am much more cognizant of the dangers of the sun. Daily I use a moisturizer with SPF 50 on my face, 365 days a year whether indoors or out. For long hours gardening, however, I use SPF RX Sunscreen. It goes on white. It stays white. It does NOT rub in. For me, that is a definite plus. Of course, I also wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed sun protection hat.I do not understand the reviews that state this product comes in a bottle with chemical ingredients included. The product I received is in a tube exactly as shown.

I like knowing I'm safer with a block
My dermatologist told me about using the titanium & sink blocker. What she sold was so expensive, I got on amazon and searched and searched until I found this. At first it left my skin white then (due to my very dry skin) I oil my face first - (you could use a lotion) - then I apply the block (A SMALL dot goes a LONG way ... then once worked in input on my foundation and other makeup. I like knowing I'm safer with a block.PS-every once in a while I'll get a little white flake that doesn't work into my skin, I remove it and disgard.

Choose something else!!!
I took this product to Hawaii for my vacation recently and when I had my resort day I ended up burning within an hour, and the bottle states that reapplication needs to be after 80 minutes of swimming or every 2 hours if not. This product does not work when vacationing in Hawaii because you will burn easily. The product is very difficult to apply and doesn't apply evenly and will need additional time to spread out the white patches or residue that is left. When applying this product will turn your skin white and doesn't fade unless you shower and scrub it off. I purchased the product in advance and didn't start using it until my vacation which was my mistake because I would have returned it the next day have I tested it.

Works great, but white face
This sunscreen works great and keeps your skin protected, but be prepared to have a white face. Directions say "apply liberally" and if you do that you'll look like a zombie from a silent movie. Even if you apply sparingly there is still a white film left on the skin, but it definitely gives protection from the sun.

This is now my daily sunscreen!
This is my new go-to sunscreen for daily use. It feels very nice on my skin. Not sticky or oily; just moisturized and protected! Spent a day at the pool, and no sunburn (and I burn very easily). I am even more pleased to know this is reef safe so it will not harm our precious oceans. Yes, it goes on white, but it fades to clear in a few minutes. I found it best for me to put some in my hands and "warm it up" a bit before putting it on my body. It helps the white diminish faster. I definitely recommend this product.

The expiration date is to short!
I like it, it applies more easily than the one I was currently using. What I do not like is that the expiration date is from this year, I received it now in February and it expires in September 2018 and I only use it for my face. I don't think I'll finish even one before it expires so the other one I will lose it. that is a failure. that's why I gave it 3 stars otherwise I would given it 5 😞
