Goddess Garden Organics SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen - New Formula Available

I've used three versions of this (all kid's) over the past two summers because it is rated as one of the safer sunscreens out there for children (or adults for that matter)...and I like the product a lot but the bottles are horrible.Last summer we used the spray pump bottle last year and had some issues with it - clogging and the pump breaking fairly early on into the bottle.So this year I decided to try the continuous spray bottle this year because they are seemingly more convenient (avoiding the whole nanospray thing though). I was completely surprised by the consistency that came out. I didn't expect the ease of the nano sprays but I didn't expect that I'd really have to spread it around just about as much as if I'd used the spray pump or just put it on my hands. It was ok though after I got the hang of spraying on and spreading around . Until the nozzle clogged. However, for me, just sticking a safety pin in it fixed it every time but it seems others weren't so lucky.We used it during a week at the beach where 2 days were cloudy and 5 were very sunny and he didn't burn at all. I did reapply periodically as you are supposed to. During a week we went through one bottle for one kid and parts of an adult (and we were using also using a little bit of  Blue Lizard Australian SUNSCREEN SPF 30+, Baby, SPF 30+, 8.75-Ounces  here and there).No sunburn and very happy with the product (just not with the bottles).

I needed a sunblock that was easy for my son's camp counselors to put on him. He seems to be allergic to everything else out there, so I thought I'd give this a try. No allergic reaction! That's the plus. However, it smells unpleasant (not "bad" per se because it's unscented) and it leaves his skin very weirdly blotchy with white even after rubbing it in. I have to rub him quite a bit to get it to even out and I'm sure his counselors will not be able to have the same patience as me. And did I rub the sunblock right off his skin with my hands by doing that?? He didn't appear burnt after a day at the pool, but I use different sunblock on his face and ears where he gets the most sun. After rubbing it on him, my hands feel slimy even after washing with dish liquid. Also, SPRAY THIS OUTSIDE! I made the mistake of putting it on him in the middle of the living room floor. White spray ended up on the coffee table, a tv remote, the hardwood floor, etc. My own mistake, but if I can save someone from making the same mistake, why not! Overall, I'm happy because I have a spray sunblock that he isn't allergic to. But, unless I am really desperate, I will probably continue to use a lotion sunblock for most days. At least with a lotion I can put it on him inside the house without painting my furniture.

Sunscreen has worked well so far as far as protection is concerned, just make sure to shake it up after each use. However, the nozzle has stopped working after only a few uses and we cannot get the sunscreen out or get it unclogged (if that's causing the problem.) We cannot push the pump down, so have had to go back to our old sunscreen for the time being. That part is frustrating.

WE really like this product. The only negative is the bottle tends to clog up if you don't use it often. We've had two get clogged up or lose their spray after a few weeks of purchase. Otherwise this is an excellent product and kids haev been protected well during sunny days in the mountains.

I bought this for camp for my son who has sensitive skin. Works great to prevent sunburn but it's true that it's hard to put on as it really isn't a spray on, you have to work it into the skin and it's tough to get off. My sons camp photos have him with white lotion all over his face. It does what it's supposed to do. Wish it went on easier.

I have used this product for a year now after coming across this at a store. I like because it doesn’t have no chemicals and it’s organic. I don’t like that it doesn’t spray on clear and that you have rub it in. The only problem I had purchasing this product is that it’s a Prime product (2-day shipping) and I got it 9 days later!

My family and I have been using Goddess Garden sunscreen lotion for years - the Environmental Working Group gave it its lowest hazard rating and it blocks both UVA and UVB rays. When I saw it was offered in a spray I decided to give it a try. While it doesn't come out in a mist like non-zinc oxide sunscreen, it sprays a stream that is easily rubbed in. It is a thinner consistency than the regular lotion and this makes a world of difference when applying sunscreen to my kids. Unfortunately, the sprayer clogged after its first use and no amount of soaking, swabbing, or poking would make it work again. While I love the product, I will not purchase it in the continuous spray bottle again. I plan to switch to the pump-spray bottle.

The reason I purchased this product was spray type. But spray doesn’t work properly. The white lotion comes out and I have to rub into skin. I contacted Goddess Garden and they sent me a replacement, but the replacement was defective item as well. I contacted them again, however they didn’t respond my email. I guess I have to look for other organic spray sunscreen.

Product was expired when it arrived although company quickly made it right.This is one of the best sunscreens for babies/kids - just make sure to spray on your hand and rub in rather than spraying them directly.
