Coppertone Pure and Simple Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, 6 Oz

No burn
I wanted something that was pretty clean, fewer toxic chemicals. I haven’t worn sunscreen in decades because of the toxicity, but I was taking a cruise to the Caribbean and I thought I might burn. Well, I put one layer on my exposed skin before leaving on shore excursions, and I did not get any burning at all. So I’m a fan. Still won’t use every day or anything but I’m glad I didn’t burn.

Good But Watery
Very thin. Will flow out of bottle if put upside down. Gives initial white cast, then disappears in a few minutes

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen is the best choice!
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!

la textura
muy buen producto

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:)

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.

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.
