Beyond Coastal Active Spf 30 Sunscreen

On a recent boating trip my husband got sunburned, even though he had been wearing a 45 SPF Banana Boat sunscreen. He was told Beyond Coastal was more effective and used higher quality ingredients than other sunscreens , thus a little more pricey. He used it, loved it, and brought some home. I used this on an all day trip to the beach with no shade. The kids were in and out of the water and in direct sun all day and no one got burned, even though I didn't re-apply after swimming. I have not been able to find it in the stores so I was very glad to find Amazon carries it and will be stocking up. I love the fact that they use all organic ingredients and their products areparaben and paba free so I feel great about using them on my kids. I even use it on my facethe SPF 30. They also make a very soothing after sun lotion, which we've tried and liked.

I learned about this sunscreen from EWG website. I was looking for a safe non-mineral sunscreen (I love the idea of mineral sunscreens, but the white residue is a deal-breaker). This sunscreen is fabulous! It's easy to apply and absorbs very quickly. The texture is nice: not heavy and yet not runny. It's on the pricier side, especially when compared to drugstore options. But, in my opinion, the cost is well worth it!

PROS:

*Rubs in really well, and doesn't leave you white unlike most "physical block" sunscreens. In fact, this rubbed in better than the other tube of regular "non-natural" sunscreen I used (Coppertone Water Babies, Pure & Simple).

*Not greasy, shiny, or heavy. Comfortable to have on my skin all day.

*Waterproof, as promised on the tube.

*Protected me well. I had no sunburns.

*Natural ingredients. No parabens etc. Good EWG ratings. Though note, this is still a chemical-block sunscreen, and not a physical block.

CONS:

*Stock up, because you'll have to use a little bit more of this sunscreen than your regular "non-natural" sunscreen, because this sunscreen is thicker. But note, thicker does not mean harder to rub in. This was much much easier to rub in for me! (See 1st bullet point.)

*Slight smell, which bothered my slightly but may not bother others. I don't know if it's the shea butter (which I don't like) or something else in the ingredient list. The smell stayed on my swimwear slightly too, until I finally came home from vacation and washed my swimsuit in the washing machine on gentle cycle.

So I have been working my way through the EWG suggested sunscreens and I have to say this is my favorite. It has very light smell that reminds me a little of cake batter. The four ounce size is a great deal. The sunscreen is a little more lotion like than the mineral sunscreens and it rubs in very well and does not turn me the white-blue that California Baby and Loving Naturals leaves me. It is stays on and lasts a long time. I am pretty pale and burn easily and this will last me a solid 4-5 hour bike ride, if I am not wiping off my sweat all the time.
