Loving Naturals SPF 30 Sunscreen Zinc Oxide 5 Oz. UVA/UVB Vegan

5 Reviews

1. I have purchased this sunscreen after reading very positive reviews and since it is highly rated at the EWG’s website. The sunscreen gave me the most dreadful allergy on my neck and my arms: red and itching rash. After this allergy attack, I even responded (though not so strongly) for some time to other sunblocks, which previously didn’t give me any trouble (and aren’t causing allergy now). Must be all the oils in the product, so if you have a small child, be careful with it. It also rolls up with sweat and turns into smudges and dreadfully stains your clothing. The stains show up once you wet the fabric and no detergent takes it off, no washing machine. I was able to reasonably remove it from clothes (no matter what fabric, by the way! synthetic or natural fibers – it stains and stays on all of them!) only after some very determined scrubbing by hand and only with the soap for washing that I had to bring from my home country.

2. This is a good product. It helps protect you from UV rays and helps keep chemicals out of your body and the environment. It is really hard to rub in and will leave your face white, but I do not really care about my image so this did not bother me that much. It did its job and that is all I can ask for! 5 stars!

3. I picked this all organic sunscreen from a long list after I found out that my other sunscreens had oxybenzone, a chemical linked to cancer.

   Really, I wanted to like this stuff. I bought 3 bottles of it, sight unseen.

   Well, here’s what I found out:

   1. When you first use it, only oil comes out. The oil and oxide separates. Even after shaking (who ever heard of having to shake a sunscreen?), it came out with variable consistency. My left arm was much less white than my right arm.

   2. So there you have it. You turn white. My legs and arms turned white, even after a lot of rubbing, per the directions. My face looked like a death mask.

   3. The oil gets on everything, my glass table needs Windex and my dark glasses got so oily that I couldn’t rub it off using my cotton T-shirt. That might be a safety issue.

   4. Try getting it off when the day is over. It takes a lot of soap and 3 times the normal shower time to get all the oil off your body.

   5. It didn’t work very well. My nose now looks like Rudolf’s and my arms and legs, though not burnt, are much darker color than normal.

   6. It has a short shelf life. It was manufactured 2 months before I received it and I have only 4 more months before it expires. Two of my three bottles would get thrown in the trash by my wife, but I’m going to store them in the fridge like an organic oil until next summer. $40 is $40.

   7. It clogged my face pores and I got a pimple on the end of my nose. That never happened with my other oxybenzone filled sunscreens.

   Use it in good health, but know the shortcomings.

4. My 2 year old seems to be allergic to other sunscreens. He gets big red sploches all over his face and his eyes swell up if we used it. Our pediatrician told us to keep trying different brands until we found one that worked and hopefully he will grow out of it eventually. We tried 8 other brands with no luck over about a year span. Then we tried Loving Naturals. IT WORKED. No reactions, no sunburn! It was a real lifesaver for us. The lotion is very white, and doesn’t rub in easily leaving him looking a little pale. But it is so worth it!

5. This is the worst sun screen lotion I have ever used. It is sticky. Not absorbed by the skin. It stained everything I came into contact with. And, it did not protect me or my husband from the sun at the beach. After using it twice (the second time only to corroborate my first impression) I threw away the remaining product. Will never, ever buy this product again!
