User questions & answers

Question:	Is the zinc nano
Answer:	It does not identify it as nano, only zinc oxide on the packaging.
Question:	is this non-comedogenic
Answer:	Well my skin is very sensitive and after a treatment for acne with antibiotics in my skin I haven't used make up last month plus this si block every single morning and I don't have more pimples ... The only thing that I don't like is to greasy... I have oily skin and in the afternoon I shine like a star!
Question:	is this reef safe
Answer:	The Neutrogena website does not list oxybenzone or octinoxate on the list of ingredients. Here is a list of active and inactive ingredients: Active ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 4.9%, Zinc Oxide 4.7% . Inactive ingredients: Water, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Beeswax, Styrene/acrylates Copolymer, Silica, Butylene Glycol, PEG-8, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Benzyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Methicone, Arachidyl Alcohol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, PEG-8 Laurate, Xanthan Gum, Isohexadecane, Behenyl Alcohol, Trisiloxane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium Edta, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Arachidyl Glucoside, Bisabolol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Bht, Polysorbate 60, Stearic Acid, Methylisothiazolinone, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Alumina.
Question:	Does this leave a film on your skin? Or does it soak in. thanks
Answer:	If you rub it in well, it will not leave any film on the skin and will be invisible. But this is not as easy to do as other products without zinc oxide. Usually this is only a problem over hairy areas like my unshaved chin. Still it is well worth it to me for the safe ingredients alone.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the list of active ingredients
Answer:	Ingredients : Titanium Dioxide 3.2%, Zinc Oxide 1.8%,
Question:	Is this product certified reef safe
Answer:	To an extent I guess. It isn't made with Octocrylene or Oxybenzone, just zinc oxide as the active ingredient. It isn't labeled as reef safe and doesn't state that it is made with non nano-particles so we can only assume that it is. Nano-particles of zinc oxide has been shown to be harmful to reefs.
Question:	Is this product non-nano
Answer:	Hey! Yes, this product is non-nano! Thanks for checking. Sun Bum
Question:	Is this reef safe
Answer:	No sunscreen is 100% reef safe, but this is one of the best options available. The ingredients that are worst for reefs are Octocrylene and Oxybenzone which are the main ingredients in normal sunscreens. These chemicals are not on the list of ingredients for this one. It worked great for me! Just beware that sometimes you will see sunscreen that says reef safe on the bottle, but if you check the ingredient list it will have Octocrylene and/or Oxybenzone just in a smaller percentage or lower down on the list than the average bottle.

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.
