Kinesys SPF 30 Zinc Ointment, 3 Ounce

Currently using Badger spf30 and its leaves a lot of zinc/white on the face unless you rub in quite a bit. Kinesys SPF 30 Zinc Ointment takes less rubbing and not too heavy. I like the product. I wish it came in a smaller container for travel use.

I bought this based on the EWG (Environmental Working Group ) Skin Deep analysis of the product which ranks it was a low risk for toxicity. It is 25% zinc oxide, so it does apply white, but after you rub it in well, it disappears. I use it on my face and neck and on my grandchild. As it says, it is an ointment, so it is thick and rather greasy. I would never have used it as a young person with oily skin unless I was a lifeguard; however, aging skin does quite well to absorb the oils. It has not caused (for me) any skin breakouts due to its thick nature. In fact, it seems to help my complexion. I did not give it five stars because the manufacturer does not speak to whether the product contains nanoparticles on the label or their website description of the product. I plan to try Badger sunscreen next. They have a good EWG rating and advertise no use of nanoparticles.

It does a superb job at preventing any effects of the sun. I used it for my olympic distance triathlon in the Jamaica, which meant I was in the sun for 5 hours, which included the running portion in the scorching sun at midday. I have fair skin and even after the race, I looked as if I didn't even step outside. Not even a flushed look which is great because that meant absolutely no sun penetration at all to incite any inflammation (which is what an initial tan is). That's not to say I aim to be fair. In fact I prefer the look of a more tanned complexion, however, I refuse to incur sun damage with its consequent aging effects for a few weeks of "glowing" skin. I will admit i applied it rather generously, and that leaves a whitish look. Also, it is evidently water resistant because it was still effective after the swimming portion. However, it is not completely waterproof, because I noticed white streaks after the race due to the sweating. Overall, a lifesaver. Maybe not the best option for an everyday wear that involves less intense sun exposure because it does make your face a bit greasy and white, but for heavy duty outdoor sports or days when you will be under direct sun exposure, it is a must.
