Sunscreen SPF 15

“Effective sunscreen

This sunscreen is formulated for children so it’s very gentle and does not cause me to break out. But I don’t give it 5 stars because it leaves very noticeable white residue on my face when I apply an adequate amount of sunscreen (I have medium skin tone). So when I put it on my face, I need to mix it with some foundation (which is Living Nature Illuminating Tint) to prevent the “ghost” effect. I find that the foundation also make the sunscreen stay better on my skin. It’s a mineral sunscreen so it takes a few minutes to rub in until it absorbs into my skin. The herbal scent is fine to me and it fades away very quickly, leaving a soft scent on the skin. The SPF 15 may sounds “low” but I actually find it pretty effective.

“Light, non-greasy, effective!

This is our family’s favorite sunscreen. Though we do need to apply quite often during a long day in the sun (but you are supposed to do that with traditional sunscreens anyway), we have found it to be quite effective in protecting our skin. It is easily absorbed, non-greasy, and a little goes a long way. It is also one of the few sunscreens we have tried, amongst dozens of brands, that does not cause a rash or irritation to our skin. Highly recommend!

“Highly effective for sun-sensitive and sensitive skin

I have sensitive and sun-sensitive skin and must use a high-quality sunscreen. After speaking with a consultant, I selected the erbaviva sunscreen. It is highly effective and protects my skin from desert sun. I love the faint scent, the way it smooths easily into my skin, and the excellent sun protection I receive.

“Like a sunscreen and moisturiser in one

I like how this sunscreen contains quality oils, so often this is all I use in the morning. I do apply a decent amount of cream and this can make me look whiter than I’d like but I suppose that’s hard to avoid with an all-natural sunscreen. I have mixed tinted moisturiser with it and thanks to the products being natural and organic, I’ve had no adverse skin reactions.

“Amazing fragrance and texture, keeps well, wish they made 30

This sunscreen is supposed to be for babies, but it rocks for adults too. It has a great light nongreasy texture, is not too white, and smells AMAZING! I also like how it keeps—some smell rancid after a while, but I found a tube I’d unwittingly left in my hike pack for an extra season and the fragrance and texture were intact! Yet it has no artificial anything, so whatever was used to stabilize was all natural. That’s a rare product. It’s only SPF 15 and I wish they made a 30. I’m really picky about sunscreen and this one makes my top 5 list (along with Mychelle, Mexitan, and Hauschka)
