Review: Super face sunscreen - I needed face sunscreen - I use this item daily- Sun Bum face SPF 50 daily - light feel and great as not greasy and does not cause any skin irritation/ issues- Use this first under liquid foundation make- up. Cost efficient and works well- Definitely recommend!
Review: Bomb - I don't know what the controversy was with this product or care what anyone says. This is bomb! I loved Tulla but tried this and omg. It's non greasy, doesn't make you look like a ghost and gives you a healthy glow/shine. I'm a matte girl brown skin girl but when I wear this on top of my moisturizer I get a healthy, youthful glow. You can almost use it as a primer but when I wear it, I don't even want to wear makeup. I kid you not, when I do wear it alone or under makeup, I get tons of compliments that my skin looks so good. I'm like me? Thank You. Lol. Keep away from your eyes tho, makes mine burn. I will def keep repurchasing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this face sunscreen reef safe?**
A: This product is NOT reef safe. 
Any products containing the following ingredients are NOT environmentally friendly, safe for marine life or coral reefs:
Avebenzone 
Oxybenzone
Octinoxate
Octocrylene
Homosalate
4-methylbenzylidene camphor
PABA
Parabens
Triclosan
nanoparticles or “nano-sized” zinc or titanium (if it doesn’t explicitly say “micro-sized” or “non-nano” and it can rub in, it’s probably nano-sized)
Any form of microplastic, such as “exfoliating beads”

**Q: This do contain Octocrylene**
A: I do not see Octocrylene on the ingredients list.  You may want to reach out to the company directly to determine if the ingredients meet your needs

**Q: Description says use 3 tablespoons which seems excessive. Does anyone really use that much?**
A: I use the “three finger rule” which is said to be similar to 3 tablespoons. It’s where you squirt out enough sunscreen to go along three of your fingers and THAT is how much you should be applying. In my experience, it’s enough to cover your face and your neck and as long as you work it in, it never looks obvious or excessive.

**Q: Would you recommend this or the stick for face sunscreen?**
A: I do like the cream very much. Since I have not tried tied the stick, not sure. But the cream works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bomb
*by V***R on October 31, 2025*

I don't know what the controversy was with this product or care what anyone says. This is bomb! I loved Tulla but tried this and omg. It's non greasy, doesn't make you look like a ghost and gives you a healthy glow/shine. I'm a matte girl brown skin girl but when I wear this on top of my moisturizer I get a healthy, youthful glow.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update: Meh. Original: Finally! Affordable Cruelty Free & Vegan Chemical Sunscreen for Face!
*by D***A on May 31, 2018*

UPDATE: I’m no longer as thrilled with this product as I used to be. I find that it leaves a thick feeling on my skin and pills over dry patches easily. The texture is dry (which is why I called it matte before) but also oily at the same time. I don’t know how to explain it other than feeling like a “greasy powder.” I know it’s an oxymoron. I suppose it’s like the sunscreens that claim to be “dry touch” sunscreens but their always still greasy. It does leave a sheen on my skin which goes away eventually but the texture of the product can still be felt hours later. It doesn’t really absorb into the skin, which it should since it’s a chemical not a physical sunscreen. Works decently under makeup, provided you use a good primer. I’ve been using The Ordinary High Adherence Silicone Primer. Original: It is so hard to find a face sunscreen that’s cruelty free and vegan. Most CF & vegan sunscreens pride themselves on being “natural” and only containing physical sunscreens like titanium dioxide and non micro zinc. That’s all well & good but if your skin is any darker than ghostly white, the non micro zinc will leave a white cast. If you’re not even a “white” person, then forget about it. I’m so glad I’ve found a chemical sunscreen that’s CF & vegan and doesn’t cost $60/1 oz. It’s also very matte for a chemical sunscreen which I like. The bottle says “moisturizing” but I don’t find it very hydrating which is not a problem for me since I have oily skin. If I had dry skin I would probably apply a light moisturizer before this sunscreen and I may need to do so in the winter. The product is very “liquid-y” but not watery. Easy to apply but there is a very slight “chemical-y” smell (kinda like paint) but only if you deeply inhale. Once the sunscreen is applied and you wash your hands, it will go away. This is not an issue for me. Great product at a great price, will definitely order again & again!
