If you made sunscreen with this product, did it rub in well? Also, did you have any problems with this leaving white residue on clothing & swimsuits?

Hi, I used this zinc oxide to make a diaper rash cream for babies. This non nano does not soak into the skin, but does adhere to provide ha barrier. Not sure about stain on clothing, but washed out of the cloth diapers easily.Best of

I do rub it in well otherwise it's white on my brown skin. I also use it was a primer for makeup. I have not tried it swimming. I mine with coconut oil base so my skin absorbs the oil with 20 mins so I don't get it on my clothes.

Of all the self tanning products I've tried, this comes off on my clothing the least. It's more the type of product that if you wear a white bra day after day for weeks, you'll probably find the straps starting to darken. It's not the type of thing (in my experience) that rubs off onto your white pants when you place your arm on your leg. I'm always cautious none the less. I have to say, this product spreads the most evenly of any that I've tried. In the past, I've used other lotions that I thought spread evenly until I see my skin directly in the sunlight. I then realize that I have dark and light patches. Rarely (if ever) have I noticed the patch problem with this one.

It does leave a white sheen however if you work a little it all gets rubbed in but it does take some work. It is great sunscreen

For me, there is a very light white coating as I'm rubbing it in. It fades quickly once rubbed in and given a minute or two to absorb and dry. I've been very happy with it. I have medium/relatively fair skin. Might be a different experience for those with darker skin tones.

I had difficulty also, I whipped my sunscreen cream with a blender and that worked well. I also made sunscreen lotion bars, which worked even better and went on really smooth as well

Hi Jessica. I by this product and love it. I put it on at night and it soaks in pretty quickly. There is no residue or greasiness on sheets like with other products. Hope this helps. I can't read the second question very well so I have only answered the first one.

I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating. I am moderately fair skinned, and I often get a bit of a tan following prolonged exposure while wearing sunblock, which is normal for me and I don't mind. I think that did happen a little with this, but I didn't find that unique to this product, and it also could be partially due to my own failure to reapply per the directions, as I often go longer than the labels recommend before reapplying. The same company also has a "thinksport" product, which I have not tried, but sounds like it is specifically for sweating. I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating.

You have two things that the manufacturer warns against, Firsr, since the product is basically a plastic when cured, sunshin will eventually discolor and second ( which probably caused the bubble) was not to place any hot objects directly onto the surface, we have not experienced what happen to you. I would also recommend that you contact the manufacturer with more questions, since they respond fast by e-mail and have been veery helpful for us.

I don't know, I haven't tried. If this is at all helpful, I do use a cream blush on top of it and it blends in just fine. I agree, it is very light. At first I thought it had lots of zinc oxide cream in it. The whole reason I bought it because is because of the 50 spf sunscreen rating. I need it. Summers I spend many hours on the water, on a lake at 7,000 feet elevation. You burn real fast there. My first real test of the product was this weekend, it did a fantastic job. Even the parts where cream blush was applied on top of it. I wish I could be more helpful.

The product is white, but I don't know if it would stain if you put it directly on the bathing suit or not. I don't believe it would rub off on it. You could use this on your body as well, but it would probably be more economical to use the regular blue lizard formula for that. I highly recommend it as well.

Yes, my is 4G29 Exp07/16. After reading the conflicting answers here, I decided to shake it really hard and now I see some white cream! I used in my trip and was wondering why it is full of liquid and I got sunburned, and now know why. I am thinking it is bad batch, so will inquire, so you should do the same. My is from Mom LA Store, and reading recent reviews it appears other people had same problem and it appears they are out the business (at least on the Amazon.com)

I'm not sure I'm sold on the swim spray. When I used it it looked like I had a sunburn on my face. I was thinking of buying my own vitamin C and mixing it up fresh (haven't tried it yet). We got a whole house chlorine filter and we love it. Now you can get a bath without smelling like a swimmng pool. It was an initial investment, but well worth it.

I don't have a problem with it running down my face while hiking in Hawai'i, but I do use more of it at my part than around my face. If I scratch my sweaty head there will be residue on my finger, but not as much as with other products, especially the waxy lipstick-type concealers. However, there is a bit of dark residue that shows up on the inside of my hat. It washes out of the hat, so not a problem but I would recommend a hat similar in colour to your conceal spray if possible. It seems to stay on my hair fairly well even after swimming, unless I rub it with a towel. Hope this helps!

You're not suppose to rub sunblock in. It leaves a white cast that fades as it dries after a few minutes. It's suppose to be thick.

We have not used this product on any surfaces that come in contact with clothing. We've only used it on a front door that faces the sun. I could speculate and say that if you do apply the product liberally, than you will have to let it stand for at least 24 hours to make sure that it has penetrated the surface that you are trying to protect, then use several clean cloths to remove the excess. Test the area with a white clothe before sitting on the treated surface. Since this is the only product that I've found to protect my front door, I really don't have anything negative to say about it.

I found it came out smoother when you mixed it with another lotion. I haven't tried sunscreen. But it should be fine.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!
