THINKThinksport SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen – Safe, Natural Sunblock for Sports & Active Use - Water Resistant Sun Cream –UVA/UVB Sun Protection – Vegan, Reef Friendly Lotion, 6oz

Goes on easy, runs in nicely, not leaving heavy white residue. Works well to protect against sunburn. Wore for 1 week in Bahamas with no burns!

LOVE LOVE LOVE ThinkSport sunscreen!! I’ve been using it for years!!I found ThinkSport because I came across a site that rated the efficacy and safety of different sunscreens. Surprisingly, the ones I thought were most healthy, the aerosol that come from a company whose name starts with an N, are really bad for your skin because the aerosol agents react with the sun and can actually cause cancer as opposed to the promise of its keeping you safe from cancer causing UV rays..... Weird, huh??ThinkSport scored extremely well on this website, so I decided to try it out. I was NOT disappointed!! #1, I’M NOT ALLERGIC TO IT!!! That’s like a MIRACLE!!! #2, it has great lasting power. Of course you have to reapply regularly like every other sunscreen, but this stuff really holds up to water and sweat and lasts a long time, doesn’t wash right off in the ocean. #3, it isn’t at all greasy or heavy feeling. It feels kind of thick, like a thick body lotion, but to me it’s a reassuring thickness that tells me it’s gonna stick around! #4, man, it really works. Sometimes I just use it on my tattoos when I’m going in the sun so that they don’t fade, and let me tell you, my tattoos have always looked brand new. Everyone asks me when I “got that new tattoo since the last time they saw me.” Honey, it’s TEN YEARS OLD, and NO color fading!!! Let me add that I live in Florida, and most tattoos I see are pretty faded and gross. I trust that with ThinkSport, my whole body will stay safe from UV Rays, AND my tattoos will stay looking new for a long, long time!!!

I purchased this because of the stellar ingredients. My friend is a pilot and needs a good, clean sunscreen without all the nasty chemicals. Zinc is king when it comes to UV protection. This product is great because it doesn't create that 'ghost-like' appearance. The cream disappears and absorbs into your skin creating a nice barrier. It stays on even if you're in water or if you sweat. You have to be able to withstand the smell all day. This is not unscented; it definitely has a scent. It's not a chemical smell, per se, but just unpleasant. Of course, this is purely subjective, so I deducted only 1 star.

I will start by saying that I am used to traditional non-mineral sunscreens and tend to only buy physical/mineral-based sunscreens when I'm going to be in a tropical ocean and need something reef-safe, though more and more kids sunscreens are shifting to mineral-based. After quite a bit of research I settled on ThinkSport for my family's recent trip to Hawaii, and I'm very pleased with it. I brought and used three types of Thinksport sunscreen: Thinksport Kids lotion (yellow/orange and teal squeeze bottle), Thinksport adult lotion (Black, white, and orange squeeze bottle), and Thinksport adult spray (black, white and orange spray bottle). All protected us from sunburn and rubbed in to be invisible as long as skin was dry and free of visible hair (visible whiteness persisted around my husbands facial stubble and chest hair). The only difference between the kids lotion versus the adult lotion is scent--the kids version has a fruitier, more tropical but not-too-strong scent (possibly coconut and something else? it was hard to identify) that I found unobjectionable (though one if my kids wasn't a fan), and the adult lotion had a lighter, less sweet, more citrus-y scent (my son though maybe lime and mint, but I'm not sure that's accurate) that I LOVE. The adult spray had no discernible scent, so I suspect the kids spray might be fairly unscented as well. The easiest to apply by far was the spray--it sprays on white, but feels very light, rubs in easily, and becomes invisible quickly. I was a little worried about whether it could possibly be effective given how light and thin it felt, but it was! The lotions weren't thick for a lotion (but much thicker than the spray) and went on easily, but took more rubbing in to disappear than the spray (this is consistent with my experience with lotion vs spray in traditional sunscreens as well). Invisibility was harder to get after a second or third application or when skin was damp, but all-in-all I found all three Thinksport products to be superior to other mineral-based sunscreens I have tried in the past. In the future I'll probably buy the adult thinksport spray for my kids and husband (who all much prefer a spray-on sunscreen) and the adult thinksport lotion for myself (because I love the scent and don't mind rubbing it in).

Love it!

Great, clean ingredients. It is hard to find a sunscreen that works AND has “clean” ingredients. This has kept the sunburn away and I feel great using it knowing the ingredients are good

One of my more disappointing purchases. Comes strongly recommended, highly rated, and seems to have a strong fan base so that I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, it absolutely does not work for me. I have medium to dry skin and this DOES NOT ABSORB AT ALL. Goes on watery and leaves my skin looking sickly and a deathly grayish white. I would work around this if it seemed to work better than other formulations but it does not last particularly well. I find I need to reapply more often than similar mineral based sunblocks. Maybe I got a bad batch? I would return it for a refund but I know most, if not all, products of this nature typically can't be resold so they go straight to a landfill. I'll work my way through it and go back to my favorite organic mineral sunscreen Badger: sinks in quickly and invisibly, lasts for many hours and yet is only slightly more expensive.

Smell is almost non existent, however the lotion worked wonders. Didn't need to reapply too often, and there was no thick residue when it soaked into the skin.
