Goddess Garden - Face the Day Natural Mineral Sunscreen and Firming Primer SPF 30 - Vegan, Reef-Safe, Chemical-Free, Non-Nano, Cruelty-Free, Biodegradable, Recyclable Packaging - 1 oz Bottle

Okay so I was hesitant to buy this product because of the bad reviews BUT I don’t think it’s that bad. For $6 it’s definitely worth it. I was looking for a very moisturizing sunscreen because I have dry skin during the winter. Will I use it during the summer? Probably not as it’s a little too heavy. It does brighten/whiten my face slightly. This goes for most sunscreens but if you plan to have flash photography pictures taken DO NOT wear this or you will look like a ghost. I haven’t had trouble spreading it as much as other people though. I just apply it after my skin care routine when my face is hydrated. I will pump a little into my hands along with a little facial oil to help the base layer spread easier. Then I will go back for another layer with just the sunscreen. I haven’t had any problems with the pump so far. It was a little separated when I first got it, but nothing a little mixing up can’t fix. I love that it is in a glass bottle for recycling and it has a good rating on EWG skin deep. Now for the cons: it does get tacky, but goes away after applying my makeup or setting it with powder. I don’t know if I am degrading the product by mixing it with oils, but I find that’s the best way to get rid of any harsh white streaks. I haven’t experienced this yet but I have a feeling it will stick to my dry patches and show up very white. Lastly, the worst part about this product is the lavender fragrance. Even if it is “natural” lavender really breaks my skin out in cystic acne. I just cut out another product with lavender in it from my skincare routine and the pimples have gone away. I’m hoping the continued use of this goddess garden product does not give me the same result.

I've only been using this a week or so and it's kind of growing on me. It's a zinc-based lotion and it applies like a zinc lotion and feels like a zinc lotion. Mine was pretty separated in the bottle, there was oil floating on the top and it is a small bottle so challenging to mix, I used a coffee stirring stick. After that, it finally started coming through the squirt top.It does not spread well at all, I keep getting little smeary patches and then it just won't spread out. To get it spreading better, I'm adding a little of my homemade skin oil (castor & safflower oils) which thins it out a bit and it spreads on my skin way better.When I get out of the shower I have red cheeks and this stuff stings a little. Before I purchased, I put it into one of the rating systems and all of the ingredients are deemed safe and "good for the environment" so I feel confident that I'm not actually putting something dangerous on my skin. I can definitely feel the tightening along with the stinging.I don't really enjoy the smell of it, a little too perfumey for me. I'm guessing the smell is from the "Helichrysum Italicum (Immortelle) Oil." I don't really smell lavender or any of the other items that seem like they may have scent.All in all it's and okay product. When it manages to get a little sunnier here in the PNW, I expect I will enjoy it a bit more as SPF anything seems a total waste when there's just clouds and rain!

I've been using this every day for 2 years. Here are some things you need to know before buying this: 1. This is not a full body sunscreen, don't buy it for your whole body - only buy it if you're looking for a high quality product for your face. If you use it for your whole body, it will be insanely expensive and it does NOT spread well enough for full body coverage. This is designed as a face sunscreen and it does it's job well. 2. This will not feel like a chemical-based moisturizing sunscreen. It is NOT a chemical based moisturizing sunscreen. It is a natural mineral product so it will feel slightly tacky at first... mineral based sunscreens sit ON TOP of your skin. If you put other makeup on top of it, the makeup will last forever. If you don't (which I do not), it'll make your face seem brighter... again, mineral sunscreen lays on top of your skin. You won't be white or powdery or anything, it will just be brighter. If you value extremely dark, tan, skin this is not the product for you. 3. It's firming so yes, it will feel a little weird when you put it on if you're not use to other higher-end face products. 4. This is part of their anti-aging line and after using it every day for 3+ months I have noticed a drastic reduction in wrinkles, as have my friends.Overall, this and my facewash are the only products I use daily. I look much younger after using this and I have never burned with this on. I apply it once in the morning, and only again if I'm on the beach or if I take a shower mid-day. I live in a tropical climate and walk outdoors in direct sun multiple miles a day so I have significant sun exposure. I also notice that I wake up one age, and then look about 5 years younger after applying this (my skin is slightly firmer and much brighter). I get constant compliments on my complexion now that I use it.

Product came looking very oily and separated, but was fixed after a good stir. The product is thick and I have not been able to use the pump at all. I was looking for a moisturizer that I could wear every day (without makeup) but still not look or smell like I'm wearing sun screen. I find that this is very thick and tacky and I would probably wear it more as a face sunscreen rather than an every day product. The smell is not pleasant to me, one member of my family said it smelled like baby powder, one said it smelled like sunscreen with essential oil. If you are sensitive to scents you may not like the smell, I found it to smell like some dirty essential oil and had a hard time wearing it as I could constantly smell it on my face. Did its job for me in the sun, but won't likely be an everyday moisturizer for regular daily wear.

Está crema de día o primer es una maravilla ya que a pesar que cuando te lo pones y se siente espesa y parece que fuera un pegamento te deja el cutis una maravilla porque mi maquillaje lo deja intacto durante horas y horas como recién maquillada y no tengo un cutis de envidia pero con esta cremita se ve radiante

Me encantó!! Deja la piel muy bonita,te protege del sol y lo mejor es que no tiene químicos tóxicos como la mayoría de bloqueadores.

For a safe and friendly sunscreen it applies pretty well.
