Australian Gold Botanical Water Resistant Sunscreen Lotion Spf 50, 5 Ounce

I purchased this sunscreen after frying my face and arms while working in the yard. I usually don't burn, but recently started taking some medications that make me sun-sensitive. I read through a lot of reviews before finding this product and feeling satisfied that most buyers had been happy with the product. I was looking for sun protection that wasn't sticky or stinky and worked as promised. This one was as close as I've ever come to perfect for me.The product didn't have much of a scent, which I liked. The consistency is that of a thick lotion with a very slight grit to it, but not so thick that you can't easily spread it on your skin and not rough (like an exfoliant) going on. The product didn't irritate my face chest, shoulders, or arms which is where I put it when I tested it. It blended into my skin without leaving a white residue and after three hours in the sun, I had no irritation, no redness, and no burn.I'm over 50 and in my years I've used sunscreens, but always hated them for their stickiness and scent. This product eliminates those two things and worked perfectly to keep me from burning without any skin irritation. I'm totally sold on it and will buy more as needed.

This is a great mineral sunblock. For those who are not familiar with this type of sunscreen - because it is mineral based - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - it will sit on top of the skin, rather than 'soak in' as the chemical based ones do. Yes it goes on white and takes some 'rubbing in' and then letting it set for a few moments to dry down.I personally love mineral sunscreens for the precise reasons I don't care for the chemical based ones - they do not have the distinctive sunscreen odor and they normally don't irritate the skin, especially around the eyes.The Australian Gold brand has been my go to for years. I normally like the tinted version, as it does not leave any white cast and does offer a smoothing effect to my face. However, the tinted version in "Light" has been harder and harder to come by, so I decided to try the "Medium Tint" which was waaay to dark for my light skin.So I wondered what would happen if I mixed the Medium Tint with this No Tint (white) and YAY! I've been mixing about half and half each and works beautifully.I will say that the this non-tinted version is a little more moist or emollient than the tinted version, making it a little longer to dry back, but it's not an issue for me. I use this over my entire face, neck and chest. Sometimes I will use a little loose powder on a fluffy brush if it still feels a little tacky after finishing my makeup.Since using these sunscreens, I have no need to use a cream or liquid foundation on my 57yo face. They leave a smooth matte finish and on the days I feel like a little more coverage, I'll brush on a little powder foundation in those areas.

The Australian Gold Botanical SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. I constantly recommend it to my relatives and friends because it truly stands out in terms of performance and ingredients.This sunscreen is made with non-chemical sunblock, which makes it a great choice for those who are conscious about the ingredients they apply to their skin. The mineral-based formula is gentle yet highly effective, providing excellent protection against the sun’s harmful rays. I’ve used it extensively at the beach, and it has consistently kept my skin safe and sunburn-free.The lotion has a nice, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It also has a pleasant, subtle scent that isn’t overpowering. The formula is perfect for daily use or for extended sun exposure, and it doesn’t irritate my skin or clog my pores.

this is my favorite sunscreen ive tried so far. since its mineral it doesnt make my eyes burn, it leaves my skin matte and not greasy at all, and the smell is fairly neutral. it does leave a bit of a white cast but its not too bad. id rather that than pay out the nose for a fancy mineral sunscreen or have my eyes burn from a chemical one.

I bought a bunch of different types of mineral sunscreen for our trip near some coral reefs. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, and I was hoping for a nice fragrance. This is one of the only ones I found that had a fragrance added. The fragrance was mild and nice, and it disappeared after a while. The sunscreen was thick and creamy. I would say it was OK as a moisturizer, but I needed some extra moisturizer, even though I was using it a lot.I found it disappeared relatively easily BUT I'm also super-pale, so I might not be the best judge. I tried one of their lightest-tinted sunscreens, and it was way too dark for my skin. I looked much better with the slight bit of white cast.I highly recommend it to any pale-skinned person without fragrance sensitivity. I still recommend it to other folks, but maybe not so highly.
