Pipette Broad Spectrum Sunblock Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with Non-Nano Zinc, UVB/UVA Non-Toxic Sun Protection for Babies and Kids (4fl. oz)

I am very happy i found this Mineral SPF. After finding out i am pregnant I had to change a lot of my cosmetics and I was struggling to find a good sunscreen that doesn't make my makeup look cakey. It is light-weigh and can look a bit oily on it’s own but it performs great under makeup, I highly recommend it if you are looking for pure mineral SPF that is safe during pregnancy and for your baby.

I'm love with this sunscreen for my kids. Clean and stays on for a good amount of time.

I haven't tried this out in the sun yet but first impressions, the formula feels like a moisturizer on the skin and when you blend it in, it has a minimal white cast (I'm quite pale though so I'm not sure how it'll be on darker skin tones). This also pairs nicely under makeup so that's a big plus. The only thing I'm concerned about is the that package arrived very hot to the touch (almost like the formula was boiled) and it was even sloshing around in the container when I shake it. I put it in the fridge for a while and I guess it turned back to normal. I opened it after it cooled down and the formula didn't appear to be separated or damaged so perhaps the hot temperature was just a temporary thing. However, I'm kind of worried about the shelf storage conditions because sunscreens in particular can degrade in high temperatures and lose their efficiency against the sun rays. Aside from that, everything else about the product seemed fine, it felt great on the skin and it had no unpleasant smell. I wish it was water resistant though because I would like to wear it to the beach but I'm not sure it'll be safe to use there. Edit: I wore it outside and it felt great! It was a bit greasy feeling at first but after half an hour it settled down and gave me a beautiful subtle glowing look. I have dry to normal skin and this made my dry areas look incredibly smooth. So far I'm very satisfied with this product and I'll definitely purchase it again in the future.(I also made my younger sister try it and she loved it as well despite being quite picky about product textures.)

Love this product

Came across this mineral sunscreen product having zinc oxide after having done careful research for sunscreen ingredients. Was so excited about using this product but the delivered sunscreen expiry was listed as July 2023 basically within 3 months expiry (Ordered in mid March 2023). Still thought to give it a shot, but the sunscreen was already separated into two layers on opening the tube - not at all the creamy consistency everyone is talking about. So basically it's not a new or even usable product as ordered. Also, the package was slightly hot when it was delivered - not sure if that made it worse.

Very thick and transparent liquid separate from the thick cream when we squeeze out for using. Not comfortable on skin. Waste of money.

He visto que dermatólogos recomiendan protectores solares tipo minerales (como este) para pieles acneicas, pero en lo personal, a mi piel no le cayó. Tengo piel mixta (zona t grasa, mejillas normales y bozo seco), así que si tienes este tipo de piel o no has probado protectores solares minerales te recomiendo no usarlo porque está muy pesado para nuestro tipo de piel. Lo ocuparía más para piel del cuello, que ocupa un extra de hidratación y protección.

Quite thick and feels a bit oily. Smell wasn't very strong. Able to use for daily use. Might leave a white cast if not spread evenly.

I have pale, dry skin, and I burn easily. I wear sunscreen for preventing premature aging, so I wear this on my face, neck, and hands. I also have mild rosacea. Also, as much as I do prefer mineral sunscreens, some of the claims they make have been proven false or exaggerated. Science can't actually prove that chemical sunscreens harm coral reefs because they can't test on a large enough scale. And the claim that harmful chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream is mostly a marketing tactic, not all sunscreen chemicals are harmful. Do your own research, and remember: the best sunscreen is the one that you will wear every day. That being said, here are my pros and cons for this sunscreen. The pros: - this is a mineral sunscreen: my face in particular can't handle chemical sunscreens - it's lightweight and easy to rub in - it doesn't burn my eyes unless I rub them and get the product in them, which is my own fault - it leaves a dewy finish. My skin is dry, so I prefer this to a matte finish - I get a tiny amount of white cast, but it goes away after it gets absorbed into the skin - it is very moisturizing, I stopped using my moisturizer in the morning when I started using this - it smells like sunscreen, but not really. And it goes away almost instantly - it's broad spectrum and SPF 50. We don't know the PPD value, but 20% zinc oxide is pretty high, and zinc oxide itself is a good sun-blocking ingredient. - the ingredients: squalene is super moisturizing, and glycerin is a good humectant. It's also fragrance-free - it's NOT water-resistant. This is a pro for me for 2 reasons. (1) some water-resistant sunscreens make my face break out and (2) I can't wash my face with a cleanser every day, so I need a sunscreen that comes off with just water The cons: - it feels weird on the skin before it absorbs. While squalene is very moisturizing, it has a texture and if you're sensitive then this can be a little uncomfortable for a few minutes while it absorbs. - it's also sticky while it's absorbing - if you put a full 2 fingers worth on at one time, it feels weird and heavy. I do 1 finger, let it absorb, then do another 1 finger I work in an office, so I only apply this before I leave for work. If I'm out for the day, I re-apply every 2 hours. After the 4th or so application it does start to feel heavy, but at least I know my skin is moisturized and protected. All in all, I will be repurchasing this as long as they don't make it water-resistant. I can wear it every day, and reapply as needed with no issues. Update 5/9/2022 I have repurchased this sunscreen twice now. I still love it and it's the only one I can use consistently. Another pro is that the squalane makes this a really good slip for my morning gua sha routine.

Update: I'm so bummed. It appears I've developed severe contact dermatitis (looks like a serious allergic reaction, but antihistamine doesn't help) to something in this. Hives at application site takes days to recover (gets worse with each reaction). Found other users with the same reaction (search reviews for "reaction" or "allergic", there are quite a few). Wish I knew which ingredient. It's 4 days from my last reaction, and my skin is still itching, red, and feels like leather. Feels like a bad chemical burn or severe sunburn. First 2 days, my skin covered in hives, swollen, red, and hot. Feels like bugs crawling on my face and biting me constantly. I've NEVER had a reaction to any skin care ingredients, but understanding is that anyone can develop a sensitivity to any ingredient any any time. Doesn't mean the product is bad, but I need to figure out which ingredient caused this horrible reaction. Sigh. So far, doing ok with Soon Jung and Dr G's mineral sunscreen. Now that Pipette is out, those two are in. Still love the Pipette baby shampoo and use it on my face, because it doesn't burn my eyes. Previous review: I was pleasantly surprised by this. I expected a white cast, and possibly a chalky fell for Zinc Oxide with an spf of 50. Glad I decided to give this a try after seeing recommendation from Dr Alexis Stevens. - Easy to spread - Feels Moisturizing, not drying - No white cast. I am fair skinned with yellow tone

I use this sunscreen daily. It does not leave a white cast on my light skin but it does on my partner’s dark skin. Even though there is a slight white cast on dark skin, it still isn’t as bad as other brands. It is somewhat greasy, but I have oily skin. It blends well and is easy to spread. My only con is that after 8-12 hours of wear (I work 10-12 hours), it SERIOUSLY burns my eyes. If I scratch or rub near my eye, it will burn enough to make me have to wash it off. Because of this, I wouldn’t put it on my baby. But I still love this sunscreen. The price point for the amount of product is great.
