Original SproutFace and Body Sunscreen, SPF 27, for All Skin Types, Reef Safe, Travel Size 3 oz. Bottle

I purchased this because I was looking for a chemical-free daily sunscreen for my face, neck and chest, something light to wear every day under make-up. I really love this product! It has a faint coconut/pineapple type of scent which goes away once you apply it, you don’t smell it at all during the day. It does NOT have a white cast like many other zinc sunscreens. It has a matte finish, not oily or shiny at all, in fact this product would probably be very good for oily skinned people. I wear this over my moisturizer, it’s actually a great primer for make-up/foundation. When I wear this on my face, my make-up stays fresh all day, my face isn’t shiny at the end of the day, that was the first thing I noticed about this product. I will definitely continue to purchase this.

Sent me a bottle that was expired and smells foul

This is a very nice sun screen. I've tried many different mineral sunscreens and so far this comes out on top. It's a bit thicker and requires a bit more rubbing when applying compared to the micronized sunscreen that I've used and liked (EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46), but then Original Sprout isn't micronized, which is a point in it's favor. A few minutes after applying it becomes invisible, leaving no white cast on my skin tone (Fitzpatrick 2-3). It dries quickly to a matte finish, which is another point in it's favor over EltaMD Clear which on my skin retains a slightly shiny finish. Original Sprout sits very lightly and has a very mild scent of coconut which dissipates quickly, two more pluses. I consider the 27 SPF adequate for a normal day around the house, at the office, shopping, and in the car. However, for outside activities like gardening or a long walk I turn to something with a higher SPF.

I have sensitive skin and this sunscreen works great. It's not irritating to my skin and goes on smoothly without leaving a residue. It goes on very light and my skin doesn't feel sticky or heavy afterwards. There is a slight coconut scent to this sunscreen but it's not overpowering. My skin hasn't burned while using this sunscreen so I find the protection more than adequate. It's not waterproof so I do reapply after sweating or being in the sun for a prolonged period of time. The sunscreen is not drying so I tend to use this in place of a moisturizer during the day. The squeeze bottle is not very large so using this everyday, I have to replenish it every month.Very happy with the product and will continue to use it throughout the year.

If you're looking for a waterproof or water-resistant sunscreen, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for an everyday sunscreen that is not greasy or thick, then this is the best one you will ever find. I've gone through so many different brands, especially all the ones that claim to be environmentally friendly, non-nano zinc and free of chemicals, and this is definitely the best one that I've tried (out of Honest, Think Baby, Badger, Babo Botanicals, California Baby, Baby Hampton Beach Bum, Alba etc.). This formula is not greasy and spreads pretty easily and the scent is very mild (has a very faint coconutty smell). It is spf 27, so you have to reapply (as with other higher spfs) if you are exposed to sun for a prolonged time. I would definitely recommend this.

Allergic to this product.

Not for people with sensitive skin. It would be perfect except for the added coconut fragrance, which makes the skin on my face break out. I will use it on my less sensitive shins next summer.

I really wanted to like this product. I have sensitive skin and normally use Vanicream Sport SPF 35 on my face and body. That works great, but it is a little thick and so I just wanted to try out another brand. The positives: It smells nice (very subtle scent) and it feels very smooth and lightweight going on, which is pleasant. The negatives: if you sweat at all, it creates a slimy feeling that is pretty off-putting, like it has this subtle layer of slime buildup on your skin. Also, once you DO sweat, it has kind of a weird scent (maybe that's just my body chemistry but I'm not usually a stinky person lol). I'll use up this tube but I most likely will not purchase again.
