This is kids' sunscreen and I'm not a kid...I use kids' stuff a lot, as I have sensitive skin and sunscreens have irritated it in the past. Stuff made for younger skin seems to be gentler usually.I'm not very fond of this sunscreen so far. It goes on very white, which mostly fades after a while, but it still feels chalky on the skin all day. I imagine this might fade or be less noticeable if you were doing a lot of water activities, and might even help your skin feel drier when sweating a lot. I've only used it on land in low-sweat activities, so the chalkiness annoyed me. I was also afraid it would rub off on the furniture when I got inside, since you can still see some white on the skin even after it's "rubbed in." I do like that it's natural and seems very effective at protecting against the sun. It also seems to stay on quite well: I applied it at 10 this morning and can still feel it on my skin at 5:30PM. I was a little disappointed that it doesn't smell as nice as the other Ocean Potion products I've used (and always loved!). It's not a bad smell, just kind of chalky and metallic, so not the pleasant smell I usually associate with sunscreen. As much as I like the idea of natural sunscreen, I think I'm going to go back to the "unnatural" Ocean Potion.
