I am so weary of trying new products because I have very sensitive skin. I have had reactions from cera-ve and la roche posay products. I use olive oil to remove my sunscreen because I get a reaction to literally everything else that I have tried. I am also allergic to chemical sunscreen. I was burned out on my usual sunscreen (badger) because of how greasy it feels on my face (it works every time and doesn't give me a reaction though, so gotta love), so I was looking for a mineral sunscreen that worked for my skin and didn't feel awful to put on. I tried mmmmmany different ones and mostly got reactions, and some worked but still felt greasy or tight. I found this product through Earth Hero and saw that the founder is from the same town that I lived in for a few years when I was younger, and I was very excited to try out this sunscreen...kismet, right? Well, I was in love as soon as I put it on my face. It feels so smooth and nice to put on. It spreads so nicely. I also have not gotten a reaction yet. I started using it about a month ago. I already bought a second 2 oz bottle straight from the website to ensure I would have enough. It is my new favorite and I am just very impressed. Seriously, most things give me a reaction, and this ingredient list is the smallest out there (like badger), but I guess it is just a great formula. Thank you so much <3
As a person who doesn't enjoy the feeling of sunscreen on my face, I have been enjoying this sunscreen more than expected. It blends in very well and doesn't feel too noticeable. My only complaint is that with both bottles I ordered, I cannot get the pump to work, so I'm having to open it up each day and try to scoop some out, which isn't ideal.
Ahoy Eileen! Thanks so much for the feedback! Sorry to hear your pump is not working as it should. We want you to be 100% happy with your Earth Harbor gems so please reach out to hello@earthharbor.com so that we can take perfect care of you. We always want you to experience oceans of happiness!
I love this product! I struggled with finding a sunscreen that didn’t make my face feel/look greasy. I feel great on the skin.
I purchased this to try out when my usual sunscreen started pilling like crazy. It's probably one of the best sunscreens I have used, and I love the fact that it is low/zero waste. My one concern is that it is very thick, and takes a little bit of elbow grease to work into my combination skin, and that I wish the product had a more matte finish ("dewy glow" finishes do not work for every skin type, including my own). As I have only been using it for about a week, I cannot speak to whether it has caused any breakouts for me, but I don't believe it has. I will in all likelihood purchase again in the larger size, and love that this comes in refills!
I have been using this stuff for 3 years now. I always put it on as the final step in my day time skincare routine. Lightweight and doesn't show white streaks. The zinc in it also helps with acne and scarring.
