Great for sensitive skin!
This worked wonderfully on my skin - no irritation or breakouts compared to other brands. I did not experience any white cast, which is a plus and very smooth and easy to apply on after my moisturizer. I’m happy I tried this and can say that the search for a good face sunscreen is finally over. Highly recommended!

Disappears on the face
Love this!! I'm nc20, so take it with that, but no white cast at all. It disappears on the skin. Light weight and wears great under makeup. I first bought the tinted version. I loved the formula, but the tint was too dark / orange for my skin tone. I love this one more.

I am obsessed with this sunscreen
Every other sunscreen I try after using this one just does not compare. It feels so amazing going on the skin and stays feeling great throughout the day. It leaves zero white cast which is even better. I cannot tell you how much I recommend this sunscreen to my friends.

I like this sunscreen
I had been using the Skin Medica Total Defense + Repair for a long time. I wanted to try a physical block only, so after reading reviews, I decided on the Essential Defense Mineral Shield. So far, I like how it is not as thick and goes on very easily. I am happy with this purchase.

Great Sun Screen!
I live in the heat of Arizona where the sun is always shining. Sunscreen is a must. In this extreme sun, the type of sunscreen matters. You don't need a lot. It spreads evenly and easily. It doesn't feel greasy at all, and absorbs really fast. It seems that I get all day coverage.

Good SPF35
It is good so far. It doesn’t make my skin to oily. It is first to use this bland and I can say I like it very much so.

Lightweight, Non-irritating
This is an elegant sunscreen with a light non- greasy feel that did not irritate my sensitive skin and more importantly did not clog pores the way physical sunscreen ingredients often do. It absorbs easily into the skin.

The Jam!
This non-tinted version is great to keep on hand; I keep an extra in my car and golf bag in case I forget or need another layer later in the day. It’s very moisturizing, does not clog pores, and has never pilled or caused any issues under makeup. All around, the best sunscreen line I’ve found... price is in the middle-top range of what I’ve tried previously, and it’s worth it... especially for the natural sun blockers and coverage.

Nice...
I like this non-tinted sunscreen...especially on neck and chest area. Non-staining and the whiteness that appears when it is first applied disappears immediately.

Perfect face sunscreen
I’ve tried many brands of sunscreen but this is my favorite. It’s a physical not chemical type, which I prefer since it doesn’t degrade as quickly. It doesn’t irritate skin or eyes. Doesn’t cause breakouts. Doesn’t leave a ghostly white cast. It’s not drying, though sometimes I add a moisturizing serum to it. It isn’t greasy and does not leave a shine. Great everyday protection under makeup or on its own. I also love the easy dispenser.

great for sensitive, mature skin
I love trying different sunscreens, and this one is a favorite for me. It doesn't leave a cast on my skin (fair skin tone) and it is not drying. It's also not overly greasy. works well under makeup or on its own.
