Aloe Up Continuous Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 - Alcohol-Free Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Sunscreen Protector for Face and Body - With Gen2 Zinc Oxide and Aloe Vera - Dries Clear - Reef Safe - 4.5 Oz

(This review is specifically for the SPF 30 spray.)Goes on ultra-light and silky-smooth, blends in easily and completely, leaves no residue, and provides effective UVA/UVB sun protection.Zinc oxide and aloe vera receive most of the emphasis, although there's no picture of – or word about – the ingredients label (which there should be). The aloe adds a very gentle, soothing touch, and is the most abundant inactive ingredient.More importantly, there's no mention of the other active ingredient, titanium, which combines with zinc to provide a comprehensive, potent, protective mineral sunscreen.With a sunscreen this good, why even consider using anything else?

I purchased two variants of this sunscreen - the 50 SPF lotion and the 33 SPF lotion. Despite the descriptions indicating that they have different scents, both seem to have the same scent, which is awful.One of the most important factors when purchasing a mineral sunscreen is the ease of application to the skin, and in my particular case, the ease of application to facial hair / a beard. I feel this sunscreen is lightweight and very easy to apply to the skin, including easy to apply to facial hair / a beard without stretching / pulling the skin. This makes it easy to wash off with a men's face wash. I feel the 33 SPF lotion is slightly more lightweight and easier to apply than the 50 SPF lotion.Another important factor when selecting a mineral sunscreen is the percentage of zinc oxide. This sunscreen meets the 20% or higher criteria, which makes it ideal for prolonged periods of exposed to UVA / UVB radiation. I would probably only recommend this sunscreen for incidental sun exposure; I am not sure how sweat resistant this sunscreen is being how lightweight it is and that it is not considered a sport sunscreen.I highly recommend and will continue to purchase.

Great product. Just as advertised. Ready to order more.

Leaves a bluish residue on my skin & it’s hard to rub into skin because it doesn’t easily spread

Spray sunscreen is so much better than a cream, it is just all around easier and more convenient. This Aloe Up is only an SPF 30, so I do reapply every couple of hours. It is a continuous spray, not a pump. Not much of a smell (it is supposed to be unscented). Personally, I would welcome a beachy/coconutty scent. Feels non sticky on the skin and covers well with a wide spray. Keeps me from getting crispy! Would get again.

Nothing came out with the bottle upright so I had to hold it completely sideways or upside down to actually apply the sunscreen. The sunscreen itself was fine - slightly more oily than other mineral sunscreens I've used, but absorbed in a reasonable amount of time. I wouldn't recommend using it on your face due to the slight oily feel. I'll use the rest of this bottle but probably won't buy again.

I love to use mineral sunscreens over chemical ones just for health purposes and this one is a great one I have used so far. It does leave a light white cast initially but it blends in later to give a smooth finish and a dewy glow to the skin. It does not cause any irritation and is waterproof. I like to use it half an hour before I go out into the sun and it keeps my skin from getting burnt. It does not have any particular smell or anything overpowering which is also a plus.

I was looking for a sunscreen with zinc that goes on clear. This was advertised that it rubs in clear but it doesn't. It's still a light white sheen. Other than that, it does work and I like the smell of it. Not sure I would purchase again though.
