Will this product stay thick on my lip and completely block the sun's rays like regular zinc oxide does? Or absorb into the skin like any lotion does

This product does not absorb into your skin, you will feel little sticky & you know it's on your skin. It stay on very well even after sweating from exercising.

I have acne prone skin and live in a hot humid climate. I don't recall that it made me break out but it is a little heavy. I think I used the whole tube but I did not buy it again. It is an effective sunscreen tho with high amounts of zinc &/or titanium which is a plus

I only use it for my lips. It has a similar sticky gooey consistency to lip gloss, but a little thicker. I would definitely not use it on my hands or feet or legs. It's just way too sticky for that. It does absorb into the skin, but slowly. You can't just not touch anything for an hour while waiting for it to absorb.

Sorry it took us so long to answer this question Uma.. Just didn't see it til now. Anyway, to answer your question. Yes, this is highly concentrated (20% by total weight zinc oxide with ayurvedic botanical boosters) MINERAL BARRIER protection which is the most recommended form of broad spectrum (covers all UV spectrums) available. Thanks for asking! Deb (CEO Teva Skin Science)

Truly sorry if we missed this question, (we don't always get a notification by Amazon and we have 33 products in our catalog here) but animosity has answered it quite well. Our product is a little bit over 20% Zinc Oxide concentration wise, which puts it in the 30+ UVA/UVB SPF range. The other ingredients are either for spread-ability, skin soothing and moisturizing.. and again (as our wise customer below has stated) as synergystic elements to boost UV protection (minerals and carrotseed oil for example).

Hi Connie, The Cotz plus sunscreen has 3% zinc oxide and 10% titanium dioxide. I was a Skin Ceuticals gal before my daughter's Dermatologist suggested this product. Have been using it for a year!! This product goes on smooth and is a light tan color which absorbs beautifully. I do not get burned or break out from this sunscreen. Its part of my everyday skincare routine.... Good luck. Cathy G

I think what your asking about is how the sunscreen blocks the sun. A physical barrier usually contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They stay on the skin and block suns rays. A chemical barrier uses chemicals such as Avobenzone and Oxybenzone in its mix. These chemicals then are absorbed by the skin and block the suns rays. The Neutrogena product your looking at has the chemical products.

No it seems to absorb in your skin in a short time and is not seen. I have used this product for several years mowing grass in the hot sun and boating in summer weather and find it very good.

I would not recommend it...I live in a hot dry climate...and even though this sunscreen is supposed to not clog your pores..it does have an oily feel...so with you have oily skin and the humidity...I probably wouldnt use it...however since I bought this I tried Obagi sunscreen and like it much better..you should look into it. THE Obagi is not greasy and absorbs nicely into your skin. I also have Rosacea...thus am ultra sensitive and this does not break me out.

Hi - I am not very certain on how long it can last, it really depends on how much you use it at times and how manny times per day. I use it in the morning and at night, and little goes long way. I rub it on my entire face bit then I take extra and put around eyes area, let my skin absorb it. I also found it works nice for smile lines and I also put it on my lips. What it does, it helps your skin retain water/hydra ration in these areas. I notice my skin is more plump in those areas now but don't expect it to just erase wrinkles. I use a lot of this product, but I am estimating it will last me at least 2-3 months.

Zinc Oxide 14.5%. It is very thick. I usually mix with a dab of lotion...spreads easier.

Less irritating to skin than Blue Lizard for my kids. Physical sunscreens (like zinc) do not have any lag time--they are effective immediately. It works well. I reapply if they ah rep been in the water after a couple of hours. It is thick, but does have that white appearance that regular zinc does. I have not used thinkbaby or babo.

Yes, absolutely, a man would be comfortable wearing this sunscreen. It's odorless and very sheer ... that is, it doesn't leave a white, cakey layer on your face and neck like zinc oxide does, so no one can tell you're wearing it. But it is expensive, and I just use it on my face & neck, I don't use it on my arms and legs. For wearing on the rest of my body like at the beach or on a day-long excursion where I'm going to be exposed to sun for several hours, I use Solbar Zinc SPF 38, which you can also get on Amazon. It's a lot cheaper, albeit a bit more visible on the skin.

Not as geasy as some. It doesn't clog my pores, but as a person who likes to use makeup to cover my melasma, I don't prefer using I under my makeup. It is a great physical sunscreen that works great when I'm exercising outdoor. DOesn't sweat off easily. ;)

This sunscreen is rather thick. I would not use it this way. I have oily skin though, so this is just my opinion.

Good question. I never did because I never looked directly into the light or I closed my eyes. Your skin should be fine. I'm a firm believer in sunscreen so all of my skin products have it. This is a great question for the Sun Touch Company, too.

I won't be ordering this again...it goes on thick and your skin has to be totally dry or it won't absorb in...i have to use 4 or 5 pea size dabs on forehead and nose and then try to rub it across these areas...watch for blotchy white streaks...it is like a heavy sunscreen
