Pleased
Happy to have found this SPF. Having newly started a retinoid, I haven't experienced any irritation (or eye irritation) using this sunscreen.

Great for sensitive skin!
This worked wonderfully on my skin - no irritation or breakouts compared to other brands. I did not experience any white cast, which is a plus and very smooth and easy to apply on after my moisturizer. I’m happy I tried this and can say that the search for a good face sunscreen is finally over. Highly recommended!

Pretty Good!
It smooths in pretty nice, but it's not as moisturizing as I would like and it's to much to add moisturizer to, so I just apply my serum and this but I use it every other day and a more moisturizing sunscreen on the other days. If you have oily skin, this would be perfect for you. Mine is very dry.

One of the better
This is one of the better daily facial sunscreens that I used and I've tried dozens. It's not perfect, and I have yet to find one that is! I LOVE that it is all-mineral. The tint is a little dark for my light skin, but it's passable. It does feel a bit greasy at first, but it dries down and is comfortable, despite leaving a bit of a shine, which most sunscreens seem to do. It is non-irritating to my sensitive skin and easy to apply. The non-tinted version is great too, however it leaves a very minor cast on my face. I tend to use it on my neck and chest, or mix it with the tinted to wear on my face.

Disappears on the face
Love this!! I'm nc20, so take it with that, but no white cast at all. It disappears on the skin. Light weight and wears great under makeup. I first bought the tinted version. I loved the formula, but the tint was too dark / orange for my skin tone. I love this one more.

Great formula but...
Great formulation but the product is very thick and it took some time and work in order to get sunscreen to not make me look like casper. I hope this works better for someone else!

I am obsessed with this sunscreen
Every other sunscreen I try after using this one just does not compare. It feels so amazing going on the skin and stays feeling great throughout the day. It leaves zero white cast which is even better. I cannot tell you how much I recommend this sunscreen to my friends.

I like this sunscreen
I had been using the Skin Medica Total Defense + Repair for a long time. I wanted to try a physical block only, so after reading reviews, I decided on the Essential Defense Mineral Shield. So far, I like how it is not as thick and goes on very easily. I am happy with this purchase.

Great Sun Screen!
I live in the heat of Arizona where the sun is always shining. Sunscreen is a must. In this extreme sun, the type of sunscreen matters. You don't need a lot. It spreads evenly and easily. It doesn't feel greasy at all, and absorbs really fast. It seems that I get all day coverage.

Superior product
I have been looking for the perfect mineral sunscreen for my skin. This one is fantastic! I use it on days I know I will be exposed to the sun quite a bit. It’s also wonderful for my children because it has a sort of consistency that lasts on the skin for a good while. It doesn’t make me break out, get rashy or itch. It’s a winner for me!

Good SPF35
It is good so far. It doesn’t make my skin to oily. It is first to use this bland and I can say I like it very much so.

Lightweight, Non-irritating
This is an elegant sunscreen with a light non- greasy feel that did not irritate my sensitive skin and more importantly did not clog pores the way physical sunscreen ingredients often do. It absorbs easily into the skin.

The Jam!
This non-tinted version is great to keep on hand; I keep an extra in my car and golf bag in case I forget or need another layer later in the day. It’s very moisturizing, does not clog pores, and has never pilled or caused any issues under makeup. All around, the best sunscreen line I’ve found... price is in the middle-top range of what I’ve tried previously, and it’s worth it... especially for the natural sun blockers and coverage.

Nice...
I like this non-tinted sunscreen...especially on neck and chest area. Non-staining and the whiteness that appears when it is first applied disappears immediately.
