Thrive Reef Safe Sunscreen SPF50 - Hawaii 104 Reef Act Compliant - Mineral Sunscreen Non-Nano Zinc Oxide - Vegan, (5.8 Oz (Pack of 1))

This sunscreen is AMAZING!!! My first time ever buying/trying it and I am so glad I did! Pretty freaking expensive. $30 a bottle after tax?? But dude I love this stuff. Has a nice light lemon smell, rubs in easily without leaving any white residue like most mineral sunscreens, and works perfectly. We were out in 100° heat and didn't sunburn at all. Love love love. Thank you!

I tried this product for the first time. I am fair and went to the Caribbean for 10 days. I can tell you that I did not burn at all. It smells like oranges and is pleasant. It blends very well and does not leave a chalky white look after you rub it in. I just reordered to use under my makeup for everyday use. It leaves your skin glowing not greasy. Apply very small amounts. If its greasy feeling it means you used too much. Apply 30 minutes before you go out and reapply after 80 minutes in the sun. Highly effective. Thanks.

This is a great sunblock! It's easily applied and absorbs into the skin very well, unlike some of the other mineral based brands. I bought it because of the fact that it's reef safe for my trip to the Galapagos Islands but will continue to purchase it going forward. I was out in the sun and in the water constantly during my trip and did not burn once. I really love this sunblock!

I love this company and this product; it's one of a few that offer "regenerative" repair to sun damaged skin. The formula is thick but spreads pretty easily, and it smells great. If you're using this on your while body and applying correctly (generously), it won't last very long. From that perspective it is expensive, but potentially worth it for a good, clean product that protects and repairs your skin.

I tried around 8 different reef safe sunblocks. Australian Gold and Thrive were the best. The only reef safe sunblocks are those that use either non-micronized Zinc Dioxide, or non-micronized Titanium Dioxide. Any sunblock with other active ingredients may claim to be reef safe, but it isn’t.Why wear reef safe sunblock? All water goes to the ocean eventually, so I try to use this stuff as much as I can. But you especially should wear it if you’re going anywhere near a tropical coral reef. They’re vital ecosystems that are having enough trouble as it is. Hawaii has already banned a few of the most harmful ingredients, though there are still plenty out there that are still technically allowed.Thrive spreads more easily and evenly than anything else I’ve tried. If you’re concerned with the aesthetics of lotion that is visibly white, definitely go with Thrive. It’s pretty oily, but that oil allows the mineral sunscreen to be evenly distributed, even on hairy skin. This is from the perspective of someone who is relatively pale, so I don’t know about people with darker skin. My guess is that is would visibly lighten you a tiny bit, but since it spreads so evenly, the lightness will be uniform.I would also argue that Thrive, along with most other mineral sunblocks, is functionally better than chemical sunblock. It protects you for longer, and stays on longer while you’re submerged in water. That said, Australian Gold is king when it comes to being functionally the best (it’s also cheaper). Thrive is cosmetically the best, and will probably protect you just as well if you aren’t going in the water.One more word of warning, if you do try Australian Gold. Not all Australian Gold sunblocks are reef safe. They do make non reef safe, chemical sunblocks… make sure you buy the ones that say “botanical.” As far as I know Thrive does not make a non reef-safe sunscreen, so that’s another good reason to go with Thrive, to reward the company that has more responsible practices.

This is a great product it feels more like skin care than a sunscreen. It blends in easy and doesn’t leave a white cast. Highly recommend

This is a good sunscreen with a pleasant, light citrus scent. It blends in pretty well. Since I have some allergies and a sensitivity to fragrances, this sunscreen is a great find.

Like this product. Will def use during pregnancy. I am an african american woman. Always on the hunt for mineral/ safe skincare products for use while pregnant/ nursing. Product light in texture. Not pasty like a lot of them are. Also not quite milky like a few of my k beauty ones. Ot is def white white, but it melts easily into the skin. You really have to look to see ant cast. This will be a staple for summertime, just for my body. Not for face. It is a decent amount, but not sharing size for the price and amount you get. It isn't greasy feeling, and also gives you a sheen. A few mineral sunscreens don't work for A.A. skin because they create a dry effect. So this one is great. It is vegan, and smells light, I don't prefer the scent. But it doesn't last long. It also contains antioxidants to regenerate your skin. Give it a shot. I took some photos of my skin with it being applied at different stages sonyou can see how is applies. I know everyone's phone color tone/ saturation is different, so for reference in Mac I am a nc50. I hope thos review helps
