User questions & answers

Question:	is it greasy and shiny
Answer:	We did not find it greasy and shiny but it is thicker than normal lotion. We used it for 10 days in Costa Rica and it worked very well in protecting us from sunburns.
Question:	Does this for uva and uvb? It only says uva
Answer:	Yes, it blocks both. The tube says both UVA and UVB. It also says broad spectrum, zinc-based sun screens are a physical sunscreen which is usually always UVA and UVB.
Question:	Is this water resistant or waterproof
Answer:	The FDA no longer permits sunscreen manufacturers to label their products as "waterproof," as they say nothing is truly waterproof. These rules have been in place since 2011. https://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm239463.htm
Question:	Can this be worn under makeup without making you look white like a ghost
Answer:	It's making you white like any 50 and more spf cream. But I put a little bit on my face and waiting 10 minutes. When it is well absorbed, I put a napkin on my face and walk along it with my hands, remove napkin from my face and then apply make-up. It turns out a very good protection from the sun and the face is not like a ghost.

User questions & answers

Question:	can adults use this product
Answer:	Yes. It’s just marketing, though with the Aveeno kids & baby ones, they are more careful about not putting in questionable ingredients (they have a few, but not as bad), plus they actually have much better UVA protection & balance to the SPF factor, than the other Aveeno products. (means better protection from cancer.) Better for everyone, no matter your age. Search EWG Skin Deep for their sunscreen guide for more info. I think the kids and baby formulas may be the same, but you know, some kids don’t want their sunscreen to say “baby.”
Question:	Is this good for a 7 year old
Answer:	Yes. Is nade for kids and toddlers is very safe. My baby has a very delicate skin and it didn’t cause a reaction
Question:	how many days shipped it
Answer:	I bought it at the beginning of quarantine so it shipped fast but now amazon shipping is taking crazy long time to ship.
Question:	Does this product normally come with a seal? Mine did not have a seal under the cap and you just can’t be too careful these days
Answer:	No seal on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	When does this expire
Answer:	Prior to marketing our sunscreens, we conduct stability testing to ensure that the products will remain stable under conditions of normal use and storage. Based on the results of this testing, our products have an expiration date of 2-3 years from the date of manufacture. This expiration date is printed on the product package. The dates can be found on the base/bottom of the can or stick, or on the shoulder/neck of the can (just below the cap). It can also be found on the back of the bottle or the cap. We suggest tilting the bottle or tube or can under a light as some package codes are white print on yellow and/or embossed into the packaging. We're sorry, but the actual product is needed for reference in order to provide an exact expiration date.
Question:	what is the % of zinc
Answer:	14.5 % zinc oxide
Question:	Does it stain clothes
Answer:	No
Question:	Does the face balm go on clear
Answer:	The Coppertone Pure & Simple Baby Mineral Stick SPF 50 contains zinc so you would have to rub it into the skin to make it less visible.

User questions & answers

Question:	When I shake the bottle the contents sound solid. It still sprays but seems almost like rotten milk, does this mean it’s gone bad
Answer:	No, it's not bad. That is why shaking first is so important. It mixes ingredients together so that they aren't 'lumpy' and comes out in fine light spray once shook well. The can even says on it shake well for 5 seconds.
Question:	Is it reef safe
Answer:	The problem we had was that some areas of reef don’t allow aerosol spray. So we could put it on before
Question:	Does this sunscreen rub in without making really white? Also does it make you look shiny
Answer:	Its like a spray zinc and sprays on white. I shake the can and rub it in but there is just a hint of white. No shiny. It stays on even when I get out of the pool. Strong stuff.
Question:	Do you need to rub this in
Answer:	Yes, definitely! I didn't rub it in the first time and got sunburned. The second time around I did rub it in and re-applied. I got sunburned again, but less so. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this product. I'd get the TerraSport Spray (SPF 15) http://amzn.to/295hTX6 or Goddess Garden Kids (SPF 30) spray instead http://amzn.to/297xPuY I am a scuba diver and cyclist so I spend a lot of time in the sun. I threw away the remainder of my bottle of Babo and won't be re-ordering.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it go over sunscreened skin? Or do you recommend the areas that the zinc is put on to not have another sunscreen on it
Answer:	Zinka recommends putting on SPF first because the colored nosecoat only provides a “total Block” where it’s applied. So for example if you put the nosecoat on your nose and cheeks you will not have protection on your forehead or lips. So the sunscreen is a good base. We suggest SPF 30 lotion.
Question:	Where is it manufactured
Answer:	It is manufactured in south LA County, CA (Long Beach area).
Question:	Is full face application required for effectiveness? Or can a strip on top of the cheek bone and nose suffice
Answer:	Since this Zinc Block sits on top of the skin (not meant to be fully rubbed in), it will be effective on whatever part of the body you put it on. Many people choose to put in on their nose and cheeks, but please know that any area you don't cover will be exposed to the sun.
Question:	Can this be used on lips
Answer:	I dont see why not. It is thick though.

Why broad-spectrum sunscreens matter

Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn. UVA rays also contribute to skin cancer and premature aging.*

Age-defying sun protection

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this leave a white cast
Answer:	Yes. The degree of whiteness will vary depending on the color of your skin and the amount of sunscreen you apply. It makes me look like Casper the Friendly Ghost. The bright side is that it works really well as a sun block even when I am in the water for extended times. I've tried many other sunscreens and this is the only one that seems to protect even after 1 hour of surfing. So I would recommend it for water-sports, but not for land-sports like skiing, tennis, etc. It is also somewhat greasy and can rub off on clothing or gear, so I would recommend that you clean your hands before touching any equipment.
Question:	Does this contain avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, or ecamsule
Answer:	None of these are listed on the ingredients label.
Question:	This is about the dry touch spf 30, not 50. Does it leave a pasty white film? Can it be worn under makeup? Thank u
Answer:	The one with Zinc leaves a white sheen. I would not wear it under make up. The one with out zinc does not leave a coating and I do wear it under my make up. I like the zinc for my nose because zinc has healing qualities and I have skin cancer on my nose. Hope this helps.
Question:	does anyone know if this sunscreen is biodegradable or if it has nano particles? I'm looking for something safe for reefs
Answer:	Per the EWG site, it states that the product's ZINC OXIDE is (sunscreen grade > 100nm grade) and my understanding is that anything greater than 100nm is non particle. I'm not sure if it's biodegradable.

MINERAL SUNSCREEN

Specially formulated with naturally-sourced 100% zinc oxide sunscreen active ingredient.

APPLY EARLY AND OFTEN

Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going out, and reapply every 2 hours, as well as after sweating, swimming or towel drying.

Apply enough sunscreen to cover all skin that clothing will not cover. Most adults need about 1 ounce — or about the size of a golf ball — to fully cover their body. Don't forget to apply to the tops of your feet, your neck, your ears and the top of your head.

MAKE IT A HABIT

Keep your sunscreen where you’ll remember to apply it every day before going outside, such as near your keys or toothbrush. Studies show that by linking with an existing habit you can increase usage.

CHECK YOUR HEALTH PLAN

Sunscreen is eligible for reimbursement with flexible spending accounts (FSA), health savings accounts (HSA), and health reimbursement accounts (HRA).

Product eligibility may vary by plan. Check with your benefits administrator to determine which expenses are eligible before you shop.

PRACTICE TOTAL SUN SAFETY

In addition to wearing SPF, wear protective clothing and sunglasses, and skip the tanning bed by using a sunless tanner instead.
