    Perfect environmentally friendly sunscreen!

    This was perfect for the beaches of Hawaii. The other reef-safe sunscreens I've used were very thick and impossible to rub in. This brand went on smoothly and, with a good rubbing, left my skin natural looking instead of like a sepulcher's. I'd apply it once in the morning and I never got a burn- a first in itself. I did reapply it if I was in the water for any length of time.

    Will use no other sunscreen going forward, it's THAT good!

    This is an amazing sunscreen - great scent, easy to rub in, outstanding protection and reef friendly to boot. Purchased due to great reviews - they were not wrong!! Worn during a 7-day Caribbean cruise with no burning whatsoever. Everyone in the party used it with the same great results. We'll use no other sunscreen going forward.

    Safe, Effective, and Gentle on Skin!

    I absolutely love this sunscreen! It provides strong SPF 50 protection without any harsh chemicals, which gives me peace of mind knowing my skin and the ocean are both safe. The formula is mineral-based, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave that greasy or sticky feeling so common with other sunscreens. I can wear it all day while hiking, swimming, or just lounging outdoors, and it never irritates my skin.I also appreciate that it's reef-safe and Hawaii 104 compliant - it feels great to use a product that's effective for me and responsible for the environment. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it doesn't leave a white cast like some mineral sunscreens. Overall, it's a high-quality, thoughtful sunscreen that I'll definitely be buying again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe, effective sun protection!

    My new favorite sunscreen.

    I've spent a lot of time in the sun and used a lot of different sunscreens over the years (I'm 47). Some have been chemical-based, some physical (like mineral and zinc oxide), some reef-safe, and some sport sunscreens (for beach volleyball and such), some mainstream/big brand, and some from local and indie companies (including Korean and Australian brands). Thrive is probably my favorite sunscreen ever. It's pricey but worth it. Effective and so luxurious on my skin. It has a nice mild smell too. Gave me peace of mind while vacationing and snorkeling in Cozumel recently. Not a single sunburn in 8 days. It's pricey for sunscreen but I've paid way more for a luxury body oil and this sunscreen makes my skin feel like I'm using an expensive body oil. Highly recommend.
