ThinkSport Sunscreen 50 SPF 177ml (6oz) - Safer Zinc Oxide Mineral Formulation - Ideal for all Sport and Outdoor Pursuits - Non-Toxic Ingredients

This is a non toxic, chemical free, reef safe sunscreen that contains zinc oxide as the active ingredient.For an even application you need to rub the cream in your hands to warm it up first.It will leave a white residue on your skin for about an hour until it sinks in. Therefore I use a different cream on my face, one with mixed minerals. But for my body, this is the best cream I have ever used.

Overview: This sunscreen is great in nearly all areas, but unfortunately falls short in one critical aspect for me, which is why I can't personally use it.As far as ingredients go, this sunscreen is excellent. It's a mineral only sunscreen and has no denatured alcohol, and the zinc particles are non-nano for those who don't like micronised zinc.I was extremely impressed that on my skin (Fitzpatrick Type 3), I don't get any white cast, and it only took me about 15 seconds to fully rub the cream in. However, I find the cream to be a bit sticky/greasy/shiny, which I personally don't mind as I have dry skin but might bother others.The one aspect that this sunscreen falls short in, is the fact that it has fragrance. It's fragranced with grapefruit oil, and has a light grapefruit scent, but unfortunately this irritates my sensitive eczema prone skin, so I can't use the product.However, even though I can't use it myself I've still given it 4 stars as that's a personal issue. The sunscreen itself definitely works, doesn't leave a white cast (for me, but deeper skin tones might get a white cast) and is very affordable, especially for mineral sunscreen.Summary: If you don't have sensitive skin/skin that reacts to fragrance, then buy this. If you do react to fragrance/essential oils then probably avoid it.

the cream is a bit heavy on the skin and body hair (for men), however does a great protection job and is easy to apply. It protected us very well from the sun in our recent holiday, and the big size is also ensuring you have just enough for the trip. is also very water resistant. Most importantly is free from dangerous chemicals!

it protects you from the sun. Its a heavy paste that does need adequate time to apply. I didn’t get burnt whilst in 30 degree(c) heat in Belize while using this. I was on a diving trip and reapplied it often between getting in and out of the water. One thing was that if wet or if you dont have enough time to dry it will rub onto mask or whatever else it touches. It doesnt stain clothing and will wash off of rubber. It will like alot of things sting if it washes into eyes so be mindful if you’re plastering it on kids. I used two of these over the course of a week in the sun which for the amount of times i had to apply was reasonable. Buy this if you want to help oceans from the 16,000L of sulphate infused suncreams that wash into it each year.

Spent hours researching reef safe sunscreen, and all reviews stated this offered safe protection, good cover, and not too much white cast. Chuffing expensive at nearly £22 but I couldn’t bear the thought of poisoning the beautiful creatures we were snorkelling with so took the hit.This stuff is awful. Does not rub in so therefore doesn’t give good enough cover. Leaves thick, white casts which do not rub in. Also feels horribly greasy. And, after exhausting ourselves with the struggle to reapply it every 1-2hrs, we got severely burnt all, even the areas that were very well rubbed in.Dangerous, unsafe for use, horrid to apply. Very upset about the increased risk of skin cancer with burns as we are always so careful and have not burnt for years (using Tesco Soleil at £2.50 a bottle). I sincerely hope it at least protected the sea creatures as we persevered, but to our personal detriment. (And I do now wonder if even that was effective…). And all at a very hefty price tag. Poor.

I checked the ingredients on many suncreams that claim to be reef-safe or marine-friendly. Many are not not but I believe this one is (blue tube spf 50 thinksport). I used this walking around Thailand in 38 degree heat. I applied it in the morning, I stayed in the shade at lunch time, and I reapplied it again. It worked (I have very pale skin and I did not burn). :-)I went on a snorkelling trip. I hid in the shade of the boat except for the 1 hour long session in the water. I applied it liberally 20 min before entering the water at 9am. Unfortunately the back of my legs burnt quite badly where my yoga pants did not cover the back of my calves and ankles (and it was still only mid morning). So I do not think it works well in water. I suspect none of the genuinely marine friendly ones do.

It does not provide the enough protection for really strong sun. It is easy to apply, it leaves a heavy white coat, however after using it under tropical sun I felt my skin was still a little red after 2-3h of sun exposure, something that doesn’t happen when using Blue Lizard, for example

I burn really easily and was very impressed with this cream. It’s very thick but works really well even when swimming. No unpleasant smell or marks. I used one tube in 1 week. Will definitely be using it again
