Product description
This is THE cult natural sunscreen in Australia where a glaring sun and an outdoorsy lifestyle means their sunblock technology is extremely advanced. Face and Body is a rich, broad spectrum, physical sunblock (UVA/UVB SPF 30+) that uses micro-fine (not nanotechnology) Zinc Oxide. Unlike chemical UV filters, which absorb and scatter only UVB rays (which then turn into free radicals), Zinc Oxide physically blocks both UVB and the ageing UVA rays. This is great for sensitive skins, kids and babies.
Why it's cult
Invisible Zinc Face & Body Sunscreen uses micronised 100% mineral reflectors to create a physical, reflective veil on the surface of the skin, delivering a very high level of SPF 30+ UVA and UVB protection The size and shape of these particles reflect light and diminish the look of fine lines, while still offering a smooth, matte texture. Contains NO chemical UV absorbers, NO parabens nor mineral oils. Offers good, solid protection for babies and children and those with sensitive skin.

User reviews of Invisible Zinc Face & Body Sunscreen SPF 30
Total Block
By Beauty Obsessive, Brand Director, Thirties, Wells, Somerset
You can really feel this cream blocking the sun from your skin. It is thick and rich when you put it on which worried me because creams like that usually make me sweat badly. This one stayed matt on my skin and didn't feel at all greasy. I was also a bit bad and only did one application for the whole day in the morning and didn't burn at all, so it is a good lasting effect. The only downside was that I found where it collected in the creases in my elbows and back of knees there was a slight white sheen, but this was easily wiped off and didn't happen anywhere else.
The Ultimate Way to Protect your Skin

Every day sun exposure darkens the freckles on my face. For the past few weeks I have been wearing this daily and my freckles have really started to lighten. My dermatologist recommended that I wear a sun screen everyday that blocks UVA and UVB to ensure maximum protection for my skin and to prevent anti-aging. It can be worn under make up or alone and its easy to apply. The only downside is that sometimes, usually after a few hours of being in the sun or through sweating, white lines can appear in the creases of your skin. If you're serious about sun protection and anti-ageing this protect is for you.

Love it! Blends in quickly and does not leave a white cast over my skin. It is thick in texture, but I find dotting it all over my face and then blending it in is the quickest way to go. Best of all - I usually get a shiny face by mid afternoon and with this product my face stays nice and matte all day.
an extra in twilight?

I bought this after hearing rave reviews about the zinc oxide barrier. It works as well as a high factor suncream but I found it extremely hard to get to sink in (and at a this price I can assure you I used it sparingly!). It left me looking very white.
Not for me

I have slightly dry sensitive skin and I found this made me break out and gave me dry patches. I didn't like the smell, it doesn't have that lovely tropical scent you get with most sun creams. On the plus side, it does have a lovely matte finish!
