Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum, Water Resistant, SPF 30, 5 Ounce

I used other brands but they weren’t as good as Australian Gold. I will be ordering again

Have made a mistake in ordered a darker shade but since its summer totally workable. Matt finished and non greasy. However it does transfer on clothes. Tissue. Mask. (Everywhere). But i liked that i dont have to put on foundation, i use this instead. Will repurchase in lighter shade.

Smells lovely and effective but leave a white film over the face

Hard to blend and I looked like a ghost when I applied

It leaves marks everywhere!!

Product isn’t terrible, does come out a lot more orange than expected but still blends into the skin atleast. Very low coverage and mostly just “brightens” the skin abit. If you have flawless glass skin and no skin concerns then I would recommend this product. I won’t be purchasing again.

Very difficult to blend with skin

I buy tons of tinted sunscreens to clear the skin tone without heavy coverage: Elta MD, la rosh pose, aven , skinsuitical and others. All of them make my oily skin feel wet and greasy. But Australian Gold Botanical is an amazing one. At first it feels like the others but once it dries out it makes the skin matt through out the day. If i cover it with any transparent powder i don’t even use a mattifying tissues on the sun that never happened before. The light warm coverage is enough if build 2 layers. It protects the skin, it has benefits for skin, it’s matt-that is all I need in a sunny day.

Just spent a week at the beach and was in the sun everyday, this stuff worked amazingly well. It says 80 minutes but it really lasts for days. I was in the ocean almost everyday and put this stuff on my legs and didn't wash my legs with soap the first few days and it still provided protection. I usually get burned within an hour being in the sun, being that I have really light skin. I was surprised how long I could last on the beach and how many days it stayed on my legs with 1 very thin application and it still protected my skin from burning on day 3. The only place I was burned was at the top of my feet where I had sand stuck to my feet when I put on the sunscreen for the 1st time. In addition, this tint is awesome for people that glow when they go outside. It adds just a little tiny bit of tint to even out your skin and not look so ghostly white on the beach. I went in the ocean several times and this doesn't wash off unless you scrub it off with a lot of soap. I purchased the medium tinted sunscreen even though my skin tone is nowhere near the color of tint medium is. When you rub it in evenly, it blends into the skin and doesn't look odd, not your color or too tan. That is if you use just enough to spread it everywhere evenly and rub it in really well. If you use more and don't rub it in very well, you could probably get a tan base if that is what you are looking for. Let it dry before putting anything on, its like makeup and gets on your clothes if it not dry. For the people that want a subtle tint where your legs haven't seen the light of day in a long while, I recommend this color. This is perfect for going out to the beach or lake, it stays on very well and for a very long period of time and is a natural mineral sunscreen which is amazing. This company did a great job on this product. I used this on my body, not my face as my makeup already has a 50spf in it. I can't tell you how it looks on the face. I am usually allergic to mineral makeup and I get hives. I tested this on my legs first and no reactions from the minerals like the mineral makeup I have used in the past. I then put it on the rest of my body and had no reactions, rash or hives. It did its job way better than expected. Would definitely purchase again. I purchased 2 bottles and used maybe a quarter size sunscreen on my entire vacation. A little goes a long way

This stuff is just the best! My kiddo has super sensitive skin, and so do I. This sunscreen is non-irritating and stays on better than any other brand I’ve tried. It’s expensive, but worth it. I have never burned through it, and as a pale redhead, that’s saying something. Lasts longer than chemical sunscreens, and absorbs better than other brands of mineral sunscreen I’ve tried. I look less like a ghost with this brand, and my skin is protected. Literally the best sunscreen I’ve ever used, and I’ll keep on buying it as long as they keep making it.

Helpful to prevent sunburn.

This is a great mineral sunblock. For those who are not familiar with this type of sunscreen - because it is mineral based - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - it will sit on top of the skin, rather than 'soak in' as the chemical based ones do. Yes it goes on white and takes some 'rubbing in' and then letting it set for a few moments to dry down. I personally love mineral sunscreens for the precise reasons I don't care for the chemical based ones - they do not have the distinctive sunscreen odor and they normally don't irritate the skin, especially around the eyes. The Australian Gold brand has been my go to for years. I normally like the tinted version, as it does not leave any white cast and does offer a smoothing effect to my face. However, the tinted version in "Light" has been harder and harder to come by, so I decided to try the "Medium Tint" which was waaay to dark for my light skin. So I wondered what would happen if I mixed the Medium Tint with this No Tint (white) and YAY! I've been mixing about half and half each and works beautifully. I will say that the this non-tinted version is a little more moist or emollient than the tinted version, making it a little longer to dry back, but it's not an issue for me. I use this over my entire face, neck and chest. Sometimes I will use a little loose powder on a fluffy brush if it still feels a little tacky after finishing my makeup. Since using these sunscreens, I have no need to use a cream or liquid foundation on my 57yo face. They leave a smooth matte finish and on the days I feel like a little more coverage, I'll brush on a little powder foundation in those areas.

It’s like wearing makeup
