Thrive Natural Care Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 – Daily Sunscreen for Face, No White Cast, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – Lightweight Moisturizer Broad-Spectrum Protection – Vegan, 2 Fl Oz

I am BLOWN away!
Wow—single handedly the best face sunscreen I have ever used. (& I’ve used a lot). I’m so impressed with how good this feels on my skin—like my face is just drinking it up. I am blown away that despite being a natural/mineral based sunscreen, there is truly 0 white cast & I am brown-skinned.This TRULY moisturizes so nicely, & without feeling or looking greasy…I just love how Thrive likes to make a normal version with a lovely natural scent (smells SO good) & a fragrance free version as well—so thoughtful that you hardly see with other brands.I am so happy I discovered this brand and products—it warms my heart SO much to see how much dedication and commitment they have to utilize the power of nature while uplifting farmers/communities/land in Costa Rica in the process. This is how it is done.

no white cast, super moisturizing, dewy finish, citrus scent
I have a shelf of sunscreens. I am trying to find the perfect sunscreen for daily use on my face. I happen to be fair skinned, so if it happens to have a white cast, it isn’t too noticeable. But still, I’d like to not even have to worry about it. I also would prefer not to use chemical sunscreens. I often use those on my body, but for my face which is more sensitive- the physical (mineral) sunscreens is better for me. There is NO white cast with this, so definitely fine for darker skin tones if you are looking for a physical sunscreen.This sunscreen is nice. I hot days or days I know where I will be sweating a bit, I don’t bother with my expensive skin care routine, since I am likely to sweat it off. This sunscreen offers some skin care goodies above and beyond non nano zinc oxide. So I feel like I am still doing something for my skin, including moisturizing it. According to description, it has antioxidant super plants:–Juanilama: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant (87% more than vitamin E) properties, and–Fierillo: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and antioxidant properties;plus..–Wakame Kelp: reinforce skin defenses again environment, etc–Tazman Pepper: reduces skin inflammation and redness, and–Arabica coffee oil: lubricates skin. regenerates hydrolipid barrier to promote hydration and skin repairing.Smells energizing- like a punch of citrus fruit. It lingers for a little while then seems to dissipate. I can get it near my eyes and they don’t get irritated. Kinda surprised it is a strong scent for something that is likely to go on the face.Bottles says no synthetic colors, fragrances or unhealthy ingredients. “Fragrance” is vague here, and although maybe not synthetic, it should be cleared up as to what it is.The company says in answering one of the questions that the fragrance comes from essential oils- if so, they should list the essential oils used. I imagine it is a citrus blend, but essential oils are different than just listing “fragrance”. It would be helpful to see exact oils used. Then in another question answered, it was not mentioned that essential oils are used to create fragrance, but that it would be naturally occurring from some of the other ingredients. Which is it? If it is the latter, then the company would be doing themselves a favor by taking the word fragrance out of the ingredient list since not only would it be redundant to keep it in there it could scare off people who are avoiding “fragrance” as a listed ingredient. A product can have a scent due to other ingredients used that have a naturally occurring scent .. and and still be fragrance free. If it is a matter of it being from essential oils.. then that should be listed as well- for better or worse- but at least it is transparent information. Some people have strong reactions to essential oils on their face, whether from scent or from the activity they have. Some dont have reaction. Yet Some have strong reactions to “fragrance” as an added ingredient. Normally I see “fragrance” on a bottle and choose something else, as it typically depicts synthetic, and if it isn’t synthetic then it doesn’t need to be listed generically as fragrance, but instead specifically as to what the fragrance is derived from.Anyway, I thought I would add that as I am sure there will be potential customers looking at the ingredient list and this may help them one way or another. I hope this review has been helpful to you. If I learn anything new, I will be sure to come back to update.

This stuff is the best!
I bought a few different physical block sun screens and tried them out – this one is the winner! It rubs in easily and doesn’t leave a white sheen on my face. Feels good and has a pleasant light fragrance to it. It lasts and provides good sun protection. I love it. I live in the Caribbean and am out in the sun and on the water a lot. This stuff is the best! I already ordered another bottle to be sure I don’t run out!

4 hours in the direct sun…
Love this plant based sunscreen face lotion! I have fair skin and unexpectedly sat outside in the full sun during a football game!! Thankfully I put this lotion on just like i have done everyday for the past 3 months since I purchased it. When I got back to our hotel room hours later I saw not one bit of a tan line on my face when I removed my sunglasses! Whew! So happy! Plus, this has a light citrus fragrance. Love this product!!
