Just found another great product from a great company...ECO logical sunscreen....
It's all natural... chemical free non nano rubs in so you can't see it...not greasy doesn't sting eyes....UVA UVB and UVC protection....30+ great water resistance.... it works so good ...even when you get out of the water your skin still feels moisturized and not salt dried...they donate 3% to the Surfrider foundation and are a very environmentally active company...it is a Californian company but their products are made in Australia...the chemical uva and uvb absorbers in most sunscreens are so bad for your skin and body..all sunscreens say to apply 20 mins before going in sun so when I jump in car to go for surf/kite I apply it then and give a light top up when I get to beach, good thing about this sunscreen doesn't matter if u don't end up in the water because you can't see it on face and it just feels like a normal moisturizer... ....anyway I highly recommend it...the Body and Baby formula are for use in the water the Face one is a daily moisturizer/sunscreen not designed for use in the water, I use the Body one on face and body ...havn't seen it in the shops yet but can buy online from a few different sites in Australia.

Checkout all the info on it at ecologicalskin.com
Can buy from www.herbalserenity.com.au

Cool..you will like for sure ...I've tried heaps of different sunscreens... always tried to avoid the chemical ones because my face swells up and gets itchy...and I have olive skin so hate to know what it does to people with sensitive skin ....used zinc mostly, works but gets over everything and you have to scrub off....then used other natural and clear zincs, some are greasy and or contain nano particles which maybe not so good either...
Eco is just right....!

sounds like what i've been looking for for years. I burn real easily, just how good is it at stopping the burn on a strong sun day and long session in or on water and not feeling like toast ? Do you overtop with zinc on nose & lips etc ? Thanks for lead

same here..I had a bad reaction to a sunscreen I found at work and was sick of getting zinc over everything so set about trying to find a natural one without titanium dioxide or nano zinc and Eco came up ...everything else it offers is a bonus...I think it has only been available in Australia since last summer and havn't seen it in the shops yet....
It has high water resistance, the water actually beads on my skin and is broad spectrum cover...even though i have dark skin I still burn and normally after a session surfing / kiting skin feels dry and burnt but havn't experienced with Eco yet,and actually even after drying my face it still feels moisturized where normally I have to put skin cream on after rinsing and
drying face...I don't put other gear on lips nose...I put a good cover all over face ...the best
way is I leave in front of car and put a layer on before leaving for the beach then if I go out I
put a top up coat on ..most sunscreens say to put on 20 mins before exposure and I think this
helps heaps...it just doest come off..I had 3 kite days in a row and didn't burn at all..and a
little goes a long way...havn't tried on body yet because still wearing a steamer.
If you decide to purchase get the Body formula not the face one ...

^^^ Yeah but it's just zinc oxide like every other "natural" sunscreen

Yep active ingredient is zinc oxide...but the natural inactive ones are all skin healing and preserving ingredients and they just work with the zinc to make it stay on and keep moisture in which is a big factor ,it's not greasy like a lot of the ones I've tried..it's the all round package not just the blackout factor

Anyway no need for me to justify ..it works, there's no crap in it and just wanted to share because its a good product


Oh and some of the other "natural" sunscreens are not zinc based but titanium dioxide in nano particles
