CoppertonePure and Simple Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, 6 Oz

initially it feels "sticky" but with just a little more rubbing it smooths out. Feels dry once the moisture evaporates. Odorless. Leaves a slightly white film but nothing offensive.

This is the best hypoallergenic sunscreen out there. No chemicals, but still actually works! Would definitely recommend for the summertime

I wanted a chemical-free sunscreen so i bought this I noticed some reviews said it didn’t leave a white cast so that was one of the main reasons i bought it. apparently, my skin doesnt absorb well because the white cast this left on my was crazy! I imagine it will be this way with whatever zinc sunscreen i use but it is a bummer.

This works well and I love that it has natural ingredients, but it's horrible to try to wash off! I seriously had to scrub with soap and a washcloth for five minutes to get it off my skin! That has its pros and cons. It's great that it doesn't wash off in the swimming pool and you can put it on your kids and know it's safe and will likely stay put, but when you can't get it off your skin in the shower it's a little frustrating.

This is a mineral based sunscreen with no- white tint. One of the struggles of using a sunscreen on brown skin is that most of them do not blend in. They have a texture that sits on the skin like white paint. This sunscreen helped evade sunburn while blending into my skin perfectly. It is also free of the extra chemicals that no one is a fan of!Go for it!

I have very pale, sensitive skin and decided to try a zinc sunscreen. First, the good bits. It does a wonderful job of blocking the sun. It is very water resistant. Next, the bad bits. Even though my skin is very pale, it does leave a visible white cast. And it is very water resistant. It's nearly impossible to get off. Soap doesn't take it off, non-soap face cleansers don't take it off. To get it off my arms, I had to use a scrubbing brush. To get it off my face, I used a Buf-Puf (facial sponge), the surface of which was immediately coated with zinc sunscreen that I could not wash out. And I still didn't get it all off but had to wash a second and third time with fresh Buf-Pufs. I've since read that using olive oil to loosen the zinc works, but I'm not going to try it. I may use it again on my arms, knowing that I'll have to use a brush to scrub it off. That's OK for my arms, but I don't want to get rough with the sensitive skin on my face. Oh, yeah, one more bad thing: I did not expect this sunblock to bother my eyes, which are also quite sensitive to any chemicals around my face. I was very careful not to get the zinc within 3/4 inch of my eyes, yet they were still irritated by it. Great idea, maybe works well for some, but definitely not for me.

I’m happy I decided on Coppertone Pure & Simple Zinc Oxide Sunscreen. The 6 ounce bottle is well worth the price as a little goes a long way. I always give the bottle a good shake before applying it. This was the first year I sought out all zinc oxide sunscreens. I wanted to avoid the bad ingredients in regular sunscreens I’ve used in the past. This is free of octinoxate & oxybenzone which are the 2 main bad ingredients in most sunscreens. This pure & simple sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) which is an ingredient you should avoid in the interest of protecting your overall well-being. It’s also parabens, dye & fragrance free. I like the 50 SPF. I did some research on what it’s a good SPF to look for. This is what I learned: “SPF50 will last 2 hours in the sun. It should protect you 50 times as long as your skin would be able to naturally protect itself. However, remember that the lower the SPF and longer the length of time since application, the less UVB rays will be filtered so a reapplication every two hours is highly recommended.” Another great feature this sunscreen has is the active ingredient of zinc oxide is at 24.08%. I didn’t know what that meant so again I researched it. This is what I learned: “It’s recommended looking for a sunscreen label for a zinc oxide concentration of 20-25% for best protection from UVA and UVB rays.” So thumbs up on everything this Coppertone Pure & Simple sunscreen offers. Be careful as it comes out a little watery quickly but it rubs nicely onto my skin & is absorbed immediately. There’s no residue or white cast look to it period. Yesterday I worked outside for 5 hours. I took a couple breaks & did reapply after 2 hours. I didn’t burn period. This sunscreen kept my skin safe. I also decided to apply it to my face because I had it handy with me outside & my face sunscreen was in the house. This was lightweight on my face & didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I feel it could easily be used as a facial sunscreen. So many positives I’ve found with this sunscreen! I most definitely recommend it!

Complete mineral protection and 50 spf. This is a great product. Good consistency. Rubs in clear. Very pleased.
