Product description Back 2 Nature ACTIVE ZINC | SPF 30, 50G. Non-nano zinc based sun shield. The combination of natural minerals, oils & waxes nourish & protect your skin whilst exposed to the sun & effectively reflect out harmful UVA & UVB rays. SPF 30 protects your skin for 97% of UVB rays. (SPF 50 is 98%). If your skin type takes 10 minute to burn, SPF 30 provides you with 30 times the protection of no sunscreen. That means 30 times longer before you start to burn, so in this case 300 minutes, provided that you have a generous visible layer applied to your skin. Chemical sunscreens use ingredients like oxybenzone or octinoxate that absorb UV rays & break them down before they reach the skin, but need 20 or 30 minutes to bind to skin to be effective. These chemicals can also be found in the blood stream within 30 min Back 2 Nature has specifically formulated a combination of natural ingredients that are 100% healthy for your skin & healthy for our Planet. We strive to keep our bodies & environment free from any harmful chemicals or preservatives such as parabens, oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate & methoxycinnamate, which are found in most conventional sunscreens. Such toxic chemicals contribute to coral bleaching & disrupt a variety of human & marine animal functions. We aim to leave nothing but footprints on our coast lines & soil, giving ‘back to nature’ all the love, respect & protection it deserves. Ingredients Organic.

Good product
Good sunscreen. Great colour. Difficult to apply. Very hard in the tin, difficult to blend. Looks good on face. Like a natural tan. Delivered fast through Amazon.

It’s very effective for face , eyes etc
I like the colour and it is very easy to apply once you have actually got some out of the tin which is a little bit dry looking until you get the zinc to soften . It blends ok and is ideal for sensitive areas on the face like the eyes and nose , because it’s tinted it is quite flattering when blended in and using sunscreen alongside , it’s very useful . I would buy it again , but pricey for a small tin but I think it’s worth it .

Really thick and extremely rough and gritty
I returned this item. I only trust Badger Balm to make safe, natural sunscreen. I think the zinc oxide was agglomerating in this product...meaning that full UV coverage would not be possible. Wish everyone would read up on the dangers of zinc sunscreen when not made by very long standing brands. Please don't EVER make it yourself....zinc oxide is extremely complicated to work with and for this reason I have found I can only trust Badger Balm. I have tried all other UK small brands, and not convinced by any of them. I am a Cosmetic Formulator...and even I don't choose to work with zinc oxide!!!!!

very thick, not easy to smooth on but is a good suncream
You only need a small amount and I'd recommend it on top of another suncream, perhaps to take out any whiteness of any other. I used a spoon to scrap a little off as it doesn't really come off just using fingers. It is a good sunshield and a good colour, but very difficult to put on as very solid.

Good but expensive for what you get.
Quite a small Tin and the sunscreen is rock hard but once you’ve got some it spreads ok. You could mix with some coconut oil etc to make it go further and spread easier. Like it though as no nasties for my children.

Thick grains of sand inside it
At first I liked to use it, but after a few uses it became impossible to put this product on the skin because in the middle of the pot it is full of something like thick grains of sand that transfers to your face. Even using in the summer of about 28° Degrees, those sands doesn't melt. I do not recommend this product at all!

A natural toxic free sunscreen that works, smells great and kind to the ocean
Ticks all the boxes for me and is the best of its kind I've tried. Pure natural ingredients, plastic-free and works well! We are surfers with toddlers and this works great for the whole family even when getting in and out of the sea all day. The tone actually looks good and the wife uses it as a foundation, and it actually smells nice! ! Could do with a bigger tin but this is really handy for travelling and keeping in your bag or pocket. I'm really pleased with this sunscreen and will definitely buy it again.
