MyCHELLE Dermaceuticals Replenishing Solar Defense Body Lotion SPF 50 (6 Fl Oz) - Moisturizing Reef Safe Sunscreen with Coconut Oil and Shea Butter - Water Resistant for 80 Minutes

Great Product, works great

As a 63 year-old male, I am grateful for all the positive reviews from people with lots of experience with skin-care products, which led me to purchase this. Despite suggestions by my wife, I've never adopted a cream-based skincare regime, and I got this for the sun blocking properties. But I'll say this: It feels good on my skin. After a bad experience with an expensive Australian zinc-based sunblock, which involved a severe sunburn on both my legs and feet, I've avoided the mineral products and stayed with the toxic old-school sunblocks. At least those prevented sunburn on day-long outdoor adventures and field work. They didn't feel comfortable on the skin though, and it was always a relief to wash off the residue at the end of the day. And they are reportedly carcinogenic. Ten years later, I thought I'd give this one a try on the assumption that the industry had progressed its product in the interim. Well it seems it has. This is the best overall sunblock I have used. For point of nose, lips, ears, I still use the Zinc Stick, which I first used spring skiing in Australia back in the 1980s and swear by. But for larger skin areas the MyChelle product works well, it comes in a tube that will last me a full season, and as I said above, it feels like its helpful not harmful to my skin.

Clean ingredients, smells nice

Not totally completely comfortable with sunscreen in humid NC but this stuff feels and smells more like an expensive moisturizer. It is a mineral sunscreen so there is a slight white cast even with the tint but it does disappear if you wait before applying makeup. I really like it and appreciate the 50 spf.

Ordered this because it was recommended for acne prone skin and for it's reef safe qualities. I like that it is fragrance free, that it spreads mat instead of the sticky feeling of many "chemical" sunscreens that I have bought from the pharmacy and that it is a slightly bigger tube then many other natural mineral sunscreens, so it makes me feel free to use it as mush as I need for the body everyday. I believe it works fine but as I use it everyday to work etc. it stains my activity tracker, my backpack and insides of the car even! Still I prefer this for its many good qualities. Do not recommend for very dry skin as this dries mat!

Adds lots of moisture and blocks mostly with zinc oxide. I like it. Nice smell, a tad oily but over all nice. I would not wear and then go in a natural body of water as it would probably come onto and into the water and harm the animals.

Being a mineral sunscreen this will leave a white cast. For me that is not a problem but for darker toned skin it might be. I like that it is reef safe. The scent is pleasant. My husband says it smells like a candy bar; no doubt because of the cocoa butter, coconut, and vanilla. Wearing a good sunscreen is the number one thing you can do to protect your skin from both cancer and ageing. That is a win-win in my opinion.

New reformulation includes nasty-colored tinting. Bring back the plain white that I can cover with make up as I wish!

Exactly as I know and arrived without any changes

The item was purchased in June 2021. It arrived promptly and in good condition. However the expiry date is July 2021 which is very disappointing. This information is not disclosed in the description of the item.
