I was going snorkelling in reefs in the Carribbean and I wanted to make sure I didn’t harm the delicate ecosystems. I had read reviews for many of the biodegradable sunscreens on the market and feared the types that wouldn’t rub in fully or wouldn’t work. While this one was harder to rub in than regular sunscreen, it still was possible after a little more effort (I think that’s pretty much par for the course with a natural product). My pale pale white skin also did not suffer any sunburn so I’m happy with how it worked.

Definately takes a little more “rubbing” to apply without showing compared to traditional sunscreens, but worth the environmental benefits. Did not feel oily/greasy, pleasant/subtle scent, and protected the whole family from sunburn. Of course with any sunscreen, reapplying often was necessary while sunning near the equator.

This product smells really nice, but it’s a pain to actually use. It doesn’t rub in very well and it leaves you kind of milky looking when you put it on. Also, the directions say you need to reapply every 45 minutes to an hour, regardless of whether you have been in the water or not. My husband and I both got burned the first days of our vacation because we figured it was like other sunscreen and effective for a few hours if not in the water. I know that’s our fault for not reading the directions, but to put it on every 45 minutes when you are spending a day at the beach?
I understand the importance of protecting the environment, which is why we bought it… but I hope someone has a better biodegradable product out there because I don’t see buying this one again.

We used this on our trip to Isla Mujeres. Good to know that we using a biodegradable and will continue to use in the ocean. It is difficult to rub in so we found ourselves reaching for the old stuff when hanging at the pool.
