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.

Product description

Broad Spectrum

Broad spectrum sunscreen protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Our Clear Zinc product adds a protective barrier between your face and the sun. Slather your beak and watch it disappear.

No sunscreen blocks of UV rays, however, higher SPF helps if you are fair skinned or have a history of skin cancer. Sun Bum's Clear Zinc blocks nearly 98% of UVB rays which can cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer.

Friendly Ingredients

Enriched with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals. Vitamin E also acts as a moisturizer and can prevent premature aging. Our sunscreen is hypoallergenic and designed for even the most sensitive skin. *see ingredients list

User questions & answers

Question:	How many ounces is each container
Answer:	3 fluid ounces. TSA-friendly :)
Question:	What % of zinc oxide does it have
Answer:	7.00%, best sunscreen on the market. Doesn't leave you looking like a ghost, goes on and clears. Well worth the money.
Question:	Is this clear or white
Answer:	It is a lightweight, white-colored lotion out of the container which absorbs quickly into the skin and isn't visible within minutes. Having said that, if you sweat immediately after application you can see the white lotion - sweating makes it hard to absorb the lotion (so apply it in a cooler, dry environment, allow it to soak in, and then you should be OK).We just got back from a trip to Bora Bora, with intense sun, and were very impressed at how well the lotion worked (no burning at all), and how good the lotion smells. We will definitely be purchasing this lotion again.
Question:	What are the inactive ingedients
Answer:	I just posted a review with a pic of the inactive ingredients. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

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.

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.*

*American Cancer Society, March 2016, cancer.org

Age-defying sun protection

According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen every day on sun-exposed skin helps prevent premature skin aging.*

*American Academy of Dermatology, aad.org June 2018.

Sunscreens for every skin type in every season.

All EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with zinc oxide, a natural mineral compound. Because zinc maintains its protective ability in the sun, it is more photostable than some chemical ingredients that may degrade. Zinc is safe for even the most sensitive skin types. EltaMD does not formulate with avobenzone or oxybenzone.

In every season, skin damaging UV rays can pass through windows.+

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.
