Coppertone Pure and Simple Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, Water Resistant Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin, Hypoallergenic and Fragrance Free, 6 Fl Oz Bottle

This is the best sunscreen I’ve used. I’m fair and after some chemical peels needed extra protection. This sunscreen is soothing and works perfectly. Blocked me from any sun damage and I live in a very sunny location by the ocean.

Great mineral sunscreen, rubs in well, protects well during high UV times, doesn't sweat off, not strong smell. Used this for fist time on a 95% high humidifier day while walking around Pittsburgh between 11am-3pm. No burning at all. There is a film left but that's for almost all sunscreen, so not any difference with this one. Easy to rub in and may leave a slight white coat but not as noticeable as some other mineral products. I will buy this again and recommend.

Good coverage, no scent but very white on skin.

I’m happy I decided on Coppertone Pure & Simple Zinc Oxide Sunscreen. The 6 ounce bottle is well worth the price as a little goes a long way. I always give the bottle a good shake before applying it. This was the first year I sought out all zinc oxide sunscreens. I wanted to avoid the bad ingredients in regular sunscreens I’ve used in the past. This is free of octinoxate & oxybenzone which are the 2 main bad ingredients in most sunscreens. This pure & simple sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) which is an ingredient you should avoid in the interest of protecting your overall well-being. It’s also parabens, dye & fragrance free. I like the 50 SPF. I did some research on what it’s a good SPF to look for. This is what I learned: “SPF50 will last 2 hours in the sun. It should protect you 50 times as long as your skin would be able to naturally protect itself. However, remember that the lower the SPF and longer the length of time since application, the less UVB rays will be filtered so a reapplication every two hours is highly recommended.” Another great feature this sunscreen has is the active ingredient of zinc oxide is at 24.08%. I didn’t know what that meant so again I researched it. This is what I learned: “It’s recommended looking for a sunscreen label for a zinc oxide concentration of 20-25% for best protection from UVA and UVB rays.” So thumbs up on everything this Coppertone Pure & Simple sunscreen offers. Be careful as it comes out a little watery quickly but it rubs nicely onto my skin & is absorbed immediately. There’s no residue or white cast look to it period. Yesterday I worked outside for 5 hours. I took a couple breaks & did reapply after 2 hours. I didn’t burn period. This sunscreen kept my skin safe. I also decided to apply it to my face because I had it handy with me outside & my face sunscreen was in the house. This was lightweight on my face & didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I feel it could easily be used as a facial sunscreen. So many positives I’ve found with this sunscreen! I most definitely recommend it!

Like how this product did not have a lot of bad chemicals. I’ve used it on my niece who is very allergic to most sunscreens. We used it for our vacation in Aruba and for the first time in my 60+ years, I did not get sunburn. Even my adult children switched to the sun protector when we were away because it worked best. It is very thick white cream that has to be rubbed in well. I would suggest that you apply small amounts in your hand and rub your two hands together to apply. It is my new go to sun protector.

It protects from the sun BUT it does not wash off. You’ll need to use some exfoliant wash or sponge to get it off. And you run the risk of staying certain materials if it isn’t washed off all the way and you go to bed with damp skin or hair. My pillow case became rust stained but I just couldn’t get the sunscreen off. It absorbed decently for a mineral sunscreen though. No crazy odor. Careful on the face for those with sensitive skin. It made my face very hot and itchy but no rash.

It worked well for me, I didn’t burn and the zinc oxide minerals helped!

I am pale, I have rosacea, and I live in the south. That is a terrible combination. But this sunscreen has saved my butt (well, actually it’s saved my face). It doesn’t sting at, and when I accidentally got it into my mouth it didn’t leave a weird aftertaste (I smear it over my lips). This is my first mineral sunscreen, so I can only compare it to chemical sunscreens. But so far I think it lasts longer (and holds up to sweat better) than any other sunscreen I’ve used. It even survived a day at the water park with minimal reapplication. Now I will be honest, it leaves a white cast. But I don’t even bother trying to rub it all the way in. I just go out looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost. (Also it scored well on consumer reports, but the baby version scored even better, so I think I’ll try that next)

It's a nice value for money product. But the design for the cover needs to be improved. Because the hole is flushed with the cover, a lot of the sunscreen lands up on the cover and it's wasted cos I personally found it gross to wipe the excess off the surface and then putting it on my face! Hope there can be a better bottle design at least for the cover:)

Es una crema un tanto liquida que deja una capa un tanto blanca al inicio pero después se adapta bien al color de piel, no se desvanece rápidamente porque tiene minerales y eso la hace genial. Protege muy bien del sol.

Finally a sunscreen that has the active ingredient zinc oxide at 21% which is the recommended level for the sunscreen to be effective. I'm fully satisfied 😊. But a tad costly for me.

Buenas protección, no deja la piel blanca como fantasma, no se siente grasosa, por el precio y la cantidad del producto muy recomendable

Mi piel es sumamente reactiva y demasiado fotosensible, por lo que he sufrido mucho para hallar un protector que no haga que arda mi piel y reaccione. El encontrarlo de verdad que ha sido una maravilla para mí, además de que por los ingredientes que contiene, siento que ha ayudado mucho a mejorar el aspecto de mi piel. En mi cita con el dermatólogo, valoró el estado de mi piel al estar utilizando este protector y me dijo que es perfecto y que es muy bueno, así que lo estoy usando con mayor seguridad. Además de que el precio es sumamente accesible, comparado con las marcas que prescriben los dermatólogos. Solo hay dos cosas a considerar: 1. Si deja blanca tu piel, al ser mineral, es coherente que esto pase, mi piel es con tendencia a seca y sumamente clara, así que le da un acabado glow , por lo que es algo que no me afecta, pero si es importante que compares los beneficios vs las desventajas para tí. 2. Es complicado encontrarlo en México y en Amazon cada rato está agotado, así que también tómalo en cuenta, de que cuando esté disponible, hay que comprar varios :D.
