Thrive Reef Safe Sunscreen SPF50 - Hawaii 104 Reef Act Compliant - Mineral Sunscreen Non-Nano Zinc Oxide - Vegan, (5.8 Oz (Pack of 1))

Mineral based and reef safe brand that I decided to test out. Some of the reason for the choice was why I doubt that the brand name is actually associated with the same concepts as Thrive cooking oil (which is algae based), it has at least a similar caring for the environment public stance.I was also looking for a sunscreen that does blend in well and doesn't leave one with the white wash effect that one can end up with on zinc dependent types. This one really delivers, plus mild pleasant scent, no greasy feel on my hands during application or face and body once applied. Another plus was that having lifelong allergies (eczema/atopic dermatitis) that I had no problems or reactions to it.

This stuff lives up to the hype! It’s works and a little goes a long way so don’t let the price deter you. My only negative would be that bugs are attracted to it ( gnats especially!). It also lasts longer in water than ANY of my “sport” sunscreens. When it starts to ball up from water you literally just rub it back in and it continues to work. I wore it to Havasupai and felt good about swimming with it on not damaging the environment I was swimming in!

I very much like the product. While I might have looked a little bit paler than normal, it did blend in and did not leave a white residue. My family and I were very pleasantly surprised and used it quite often on our vacation.

This worked great on my trip to Key West where the UV index was 11. Just applied once each day and no burns. It is a bit greasy- only reason I wouldn’t give 5 stars. I do recommend if you need a great sunscreen that is reef safe though!

I really like this stuff! Rubs in really well, no white left on me. If my husband uses it (or any mineral sunscreen), it does leave a bit of a white tinge on his face (I think yhe beard is the issue). Ill keep buying this, it works great too as long as you remember to reapply.

I use it in my arms to protect and heal when working in the garden

I am so happy with Thrive Reef Safe Sunscreen SPF 50! I love that it is a mineral, not a chemical, sunscreen. And I also love that I finally found a high SPF sunscreen that doesn't make my neck break out in a rash. For some reason, probably age, everytime I tried using sunscreen on my neck area, I'd get a rash. I don't get a rash with this sunscreen.

First time using it, I gave it my full trust. Full sun at the beach. Not even a little burn! It wasn't greasy at all, blended in easily. Im actually really pleasantly surprised and happy.
