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

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!

Great daily sunscreen
After testing a bunch of sunscreens for daily use, I’ve landed on this one. It makes my skin feel great and works fantastic even in strong direct sunlight. Goes on pretty visibly but absorbs into the skin after a while, becoming invisible.

Wanted to love it, but my skin didn’t
I wanted to like this so much and overall I loved the texture and sun protection efficiency. However this gave me a rash in arms and legs (didn’t use it on my face) and it’s been so itchy. I almost never get rashes or anything, don’t consider my skin sensitive but IDK, must be some of the ingredients combinations. If you trust your skin and like thick textures, go for this!

Must buy for mineral sunscreen
I was sectpical of this product, but after trying it and comparing it to other mineral Sunscreens, this is by far the best one. Its smooth, blends in nicely and doesnt stink. Also stays on you a very long time.This is now my go to, sunscreen

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:)

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.
