ThinkSport Sunscreen 50 SPF 89ml (3oz) - Safer Zinc Oxide Mineral Formulation - Ideal for all Sport and Outdoor Pursuits - Non-Toxic Ingredients

This is a non toxic, chemical free, reef safe sunscreen that contains zinc oxide as the active ingredient. For an even application you need to rub the cream in your hands to warm it up first. It will leave a white residue on your skin for about an hour until it sinks in. Therefore I use a different cream on my face, one with mixed minerals. But for my body, this is the best cream I have ever used.

I have searched great lengths for a reef safe sunscreen and I think this is a great option. I have recently used this sunscreen on my Italy trip and have not burnt at all. I find a little goes a long way which is good as it is an expensive product. Yes, this will absolutely give you a white cast as it is physical sunscreen, however I used this sunscreen on the beach every day, boat trips, snorkelling etc and tbh I didn't really care if it left me with a white cast as my main priority was protection from sun and that the sunscreen was reef safe. Would I use this as an every day sunscreen? No. But for a water activities, I think its brilliant and I will be re-purchasing for my next trips.

Overview: This sunscreen is great in nearly all areas, but unfortunately falls short in one critical aspect for me, which is why I can't personally use it. As far as ingredients go, this sunscreen is excellent. It's a mineral only sunscreen and has no denatured alcohol, and the zinc particles are non-nano for those who don't like micronised zinc. I was extremely impressed that on my skin (Fitzpatrick Type 3), I don't get any white cast, and it only took me about 15 seconds to fully rub the cream in. However, I find the cream to be a bit sticky/greasy/shiny, which I personally don't mind as I have dry skin but might bother others. The one aspect that this sunscreen falls short in, is the fact that it has fragrance. It's fragranced with grapefruit oil, and has a light grapefruit scent, but unfortunately this irritates my sensitive eczema prone skin, so I can't use the product. However, even though I can't use it myself I've still given it 4 stars as that's a personal issue. The sunscreen itself definitely works, doesn't leave a white cast (for me, but deeper skin tones might get a white cast) and is very affordable, especially for mineral sunscreen. Summary: If you don't have sensitive skin/skin that reacts to fragrance, then buy this. If you do react to fragrance/essential oils then probably avoid it.

I burn really easily and was very impressed with this cream. It’s very thick but works really well even when swimming. No unpleasant smell or marks. I used one tube in 1 week. Will definitely be using it again

I got this specifically because it's supposed to be reef safe and I was going to be in the vicinity of some, but I've gotten to hate using it because it's really hard to wash off.

it protects you from the sun. Its a heavy paste that does need adequate time to apply. I didn’t get burnt whilst in 30 degree(c) heat in Belize while using this. I was on a diving trip and reapplied it often between getting in and out of the water. One thing was that if wet or if you dont have enough time to dry it will rub onto mask or whatever else it touches. It doesnt stain clothing and will wash off of rubber. It will like alot of things sting if it washes into eyes so be mindful if you’re plastering it on kids. I used two of these over the course of a week in the sun which for the amount of times i had to apply was reasonable. Buy this if you want to help oceans from the 16,000L of sulphate infused suncreams that wash into it each year.

I was really excited to get this product as I'd been looking for a good mineral sunscreen for hours but, even though it had a nice (but thick) texture and good coverage, I wasnt happy because it gave me a really intense pink/white cast. It was really bad, I wouldn't mind if it was a little but my naturally pale but warn tones skin look ill and sickly with this on and completely unnatural. On a more positive note it didn't sting my eyes or skin and did sit well on the skin. But if you are not very pale and have pink undertones I wouldn't recommend this to you. For reference, the pictures with my hair up are with the sunscreen whereas the one with my hair down is my natural skin tone.

The best sports cream. I have used this for years for cycling. It has seen me through day long rides, sweaty sportive etc. Doesn't drip into eyes and string. Never failed, and I burn easily.
