The best!! So glad I took a chance and ordered
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
This is the best natural sunscreen I have ever used and I am so excited to find one that is tallow-based and has none of the usual offenders. It goes on like a dream, leaves no white cast, and is not greasy or thick. It’s just perfect and I will always order and keep some on hand. Thank you!!

Great sunscreen with clean ingredients
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
Really impressed with this sunscreen. It goes on smoothly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave a strong white cast like many mineral sunscreens. I like the natural ingredients and it kept my skin protected outdoors. Great quality and worth trying!

Life changing sunscreen
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
When revamping all my skincare, AI recommended this for me as someone with rosacea and inflammation. I also can't stand to feel sticky from skin products. Not only does this not get sticky or greasy, my face looks visibly less red almost immediately after putting this on. I absolutely love it. I wear it every single day now on my face specifically. I'm also very prone to breakouts from products and this has been the best sunblock that doesn't make me breakout after wearing it while sweating.

Saved my hands
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After years of dealing with cracked, bleeding, dry skin from my eczema flare ups -- I was finally fed up. I'd tried everything in the book, but ultimately I resigned myself to never being able to have hands that weren't itchy, bleeding and cracking. I'm not exaggerating when I say this product (along with Aveeno's Daily Eczema Hand Lotion) saved my hands. I can't believe that my hands are no longer cracked, bleeding & itchy. They're soft, even! This hand wash has been a game changer & worth every penny.
