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 &amp; 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 didn't notice that it left a white residue on my husband. It is a bit harder to blend in than typical lotions, but it isn't impossible.

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

Initially it does feel greasy and a bit whitish but disappears after a few minutes. It is the only sunscreen I can use on my face & neck that does not cause a rash. I live in FL & golf everyday and never get sunburn when using it.

Hi Rachel. While I hardly ever wear make-up in the summer I can tell you that this sunscreen absorbs great. Just a bit thicker than the moisturizer I use on my face every day. It goes on very easily and takes very little time to dry. No white cast at all. I haven't tried Burnout Kids but I have tried Babo. That one left us with slightly pink skin. My only complaint about thinkbaby is that with my whole family using it, we go through it quite quickly. I wish they offered a larger size.

I disagree about the white cast. If you use the amount that you should for a physical sunblock then it does leave a bit of a white cast. I suspect that a lot of it has to do with the color of your skin though. I found that this did transfer onto my clothing when I used it on my body (did not dry/absorb even after a significant amount of time), and I actually don't think that it would work that well under make-up. It's also fairly thick. Elta MD has some good options to use under makeup. We have a Babo Botanicals stick, and it actually IS clear although we find it to be a bit too sticky.

I am his wife, and the person who uses this product. Less than a teaspoon every day...on my neck also. No, it doesn't stain, and another sunscreen could easily be put over this. I always put my makeup over this product. Love it!

Yes, I use the product around my eyes. It does not sweat off into my eyes like some of the other sensitive sunscreens do. It seems to absorb better. I use moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup together. I put the sunscreen on before the moisturizer dries completely as it helps completely absorb. I also use on my neck with no staining on my clothes. I was using Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby sunscreen and it always left marks on my collar. This does not, again it seems to absorb much better. For normal daily use I apply once. If I am spending the day in the sun I reapply once every four hours since I burn easily. Yes, I use the product around my eyes.

I haven't had any issues with white marks at all and I've just finished my first container of this deodorant. Granted, since I spent so many years using regular antiperspirant prior to going natural, I'm in the habit of being super careful when I'm getting dressed.

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.

We were in the sun all day so I kept reapplying it every hour or two. I don't believe it washed off quickly though - there were no sunburns!:)

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 have been using this product for several months now and I love it. It hasn't caused any breakouts on my skin. In my experience it is a great product and value. A little goes a long way. The sunscreen properties is fantastic and isn't heavy or sticky. I do use a light translucent powder to finish it off as I live in a high humidity area of the US. I hope this helps.

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.

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.

Mine was quite liquid when I received it directly from Amazon, but as with other "natural" sunscreens they typically need to be shaken up a bit to redistribute the product & make sure everything is well mixed, especially if they have been sitting unused for a period of time. Mine mixed up well & is still perfect. I am about to reorder now!

I have used this for 3 years, and I have never found it to sting - at all. My skin is sensitive, and so many sunscreens really sting, so I can empathize with your question. I have found that this sunscreen works very well. I take aqua aerobics outside in the Texas sun - and have never had a burn or even pinkish skin when I use this product. My dermatologist told me to apply it 45 minutes before I go out to give it time to start working.
