I called the customer service number listed on the product (1-800-423-2341). The Person & Covey (PC) representative said the chemical in the product is DEA Cetyl Phosphate. She said it has been shown to cause cancer in rabbits. When I asked her if PC had plans to remove it, she stated that since the FDA & the National Toxicology organization do not list it as cancer causing for humans, they have no plans to remove this chemical. She referred me to California State Proposition 65 to find a list of all chemicals which require a warning to be posted on products sold in California. I looked up the list and searched for DEA Cetyl Phosphate and I could not find this chemical posted. So, back to square one....... **Q: Does this product protect me from getting darker? i'm medium dark skin and when i'm out in the sun, i tend to get really dark. thanks** A: I have used this product for over ten years and for me it works.I put it on more often in the summer.I have no information about getting darker as I am white and I do tan up more in the summer.I use it year round because the cold of winter can cause skin damage as I am out in it quite a bit.It really stays on in swimming also.I started using it because I have face cancer. **Q: is this used as a moisturizer also** A: No. Strictly a sunscreen product. Have you ever seen lifeguards or other individuals who are in the sun quite a bit with white noses? It's because they are using regular white zinc sunscreen. This is truly transparent zinc. It's a thicker product, but absorbs nicely into the skin. **Q: How long from when the sunscreen is shipped until expiration?** A: Since I usually buy the three-pack, I've used them up to three years after I received them and they are still effective, just like new. It's the only sunscreen that doesn't give me a rash. Years ago, my dermatologist recommended this because I have very light skin and need to protect it from the sun. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars definitely moisturizing and definitely leaves residue, but can't beat the coverage *by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2012* I started buying this at the recommendation of a dermatologist, and I use it faithfully for myself and two kiddos, with hubby using it occasionally. We have lived in both southern California and overseas in the Middle East, where the sun is literally blistering year-round, and we swear by it. While other people are running around as rednecks, with red noses and burned shoulders and hands, this gives phenomenal protection. Over time, you see most people build up tan (burn) lines with just about every other product, no matter what the hype is for their product. With this, there is truly no evidence of the sun having been there at all. I'm very fair-skinned with reddish hair and light eyes, and I really need the coverage. It's the only thing that doesn't leave me with a farmer's tan (burn, that is). It's a little more moisturizing than I prefer for my face, although some people do prefer that. And, even with my fair skin, I can see a tiny bit of white residue build up around my neck and the inside of my elbow. (Although it doesn't stain.) But, to me, it's worth it, because there definitely isn't a flawless sunscreen out there at all, if you're really looking for something with serious coverage. Another one of the chief things I love about this is that there is NO FRAGRANCE. Not floral, not medicinal, not fake coconut--NOTHING. When you have to slather yourself with this stuff to wear it all day, it's really nice to not have the smell. I just wish we could get it in larger sizes, which would be more economical and would last longer--we have to re-order this a lot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff - 7 years use and no more sun-damaged skin *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015* I have been using this sun screen for several years, ever since a bout with basal cell carcinoma due to sun damage. I apply it every day that I'm going to be outside for more than 10 minutes at a time and I am very pleased with the results. Unlike other sun blocks, it is easy to apply. Not so thick that it gets gloppy when I try to spread it, not so thin that it runs when I start to sweat. But, of course, the most important result is that I have had very few instances of actinic keratosis (pre-cancerous skin damage) since using Solbar and no further development of carcinomas in the 7 years that I have been using Solbar.I first started using it on the recommendation of my dermatologist, mainly because of the zinc content that protects against both UVA and UVB, but found that the price on Amazon is half that of the local stores, if they even carry it. Whether or not you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend this stuff over the drugstore products that advertise high SPF. It's not just the SPF that matters, but also the ingredients. Solbar is the best on the market, I think. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Sunscreen *by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014* This micro zinc formula is perfect!! I use it on my face and neck daily before applying makeup. It blends in well, and gives better coverage than any of the others I've tried. It has more of a thick creamy consistency. I use a lighter weight less expensive one for my arms and shoulders. I'm in my 40's now and had a lot of sun exposure as a child and teenager, so I'm very careful about protecting my face and neck from further damage. Very little scent, so you won't smell chemicals. My young daughter likes it as well. The new packaging has been updated to an orange and white tube, and that's what they sent. No worries because they haven't update the picture. They send me a current tube. I'd been buying it at my pharmacy, but this price was much better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7395252-solbar-zinc-spf-38-4-ounce](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7395252-solbar-zinc-spf-38-4-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
