Skin Care Review: UV Natural Suncreen spf30+

by R. Casey, Sydney, Australia

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Water resistant, Good sun protection , no dangerous chemicals.

Drawbacks
Expensive. Small size tube is poor value relative to large size.

Details
UV natural is an Australian created sunscreen. I have been using it for several years in Sydney.

I have type 2 skin (fair , freckles , burns easily). So sunscreen is a must for me, especially for any outdoor activities.

I was worried about the dangers associated with some suncreen chemicals and this was a good alternative. Another problem was other sunscreens always got into my eyes and stung.

UV-Natural feels oily going on but does dissapear to be pretty much unnoticeable. It also has a thick consistency and can be a little difficult to spread on your skin.

Its a tan colour from the tube , but leaves no marks or stains on clothing. It's clear on your skin. It has no added fragrance, though it does have a mild smell. My wife describes it as a "vitamin shop" smell, but dont let that put you off because its very mild.

It does a fantastic job as a sunscreen , and best of all , it doesnt sting my eyes. It runs less then other sunscreens and if it does get in your eyes it just feels a bit greasy but there is no stinging.

Ingredients (from an australian tube, i'm sure the US formula is identical)

Zinc oxide (Active Ingredient), Sesame oils, Grape seed extract, Green tea, Sweet almond oil, Grape seed oil, Macadamia oil, Safflower Oil, Raw beeswax, Natural Vitamin E, Carnauba Wax, Candelilla Wax, Iron Oxides (red&yellow)

Its available in (50g)1.7oz and (200g)7oz sizes, i have one of each and carry the small size with me if i need to reapply though the day.

Conclusions
I really like this sunscreen , i hope they never stop making it!

Price (paid by reviewer)
$16 (small) $30 (large)
