User questions & answers

Question:	Does this leave a white residue, as do most zinc oxide sunscreens
Answer:	I disagree, I think it DOES leave a residue, but it isn't so thick that it's like white paint on your skin, it just makes your skin look a little paler. It really isn't very noticeable if you rub it in very well. I like the benefits of the formula so much that I don't care, but fyi.
Question:	Does it turn your clothes yellow
Answer:	I used it for a solid week while sailing I. The Bahamas and did not experience any yellowing of my clothes at all.
Question:	Does it leave white cast
Answer:	No cast !
Question:	Are the non-whitening versions non-nano zinc also? They don't specifiy like the other Badger products do
Answer:	The “clear zinc” versions like this are NOT non-nano zinc.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with any plastic packaging
Answer:	Hi Susan! Thank you for your interest in the Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30. This is a 100 percent Mineral filter based sunscreen, also known as a physical sunscreen, reflects UVA/UVB rays to help protect the skin, so it does have good coverage. If you'd like a higher coverage for SPF, you can try the Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50! We hope this information helped and you can use our products with great satisfaction!
Question:	Is this more of a balm or a cream? Curious for carry-on luggage
Answer:	Hi there! Yes, all CeraVe sunscreens, including Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 is FSA/HSA eligible. We hope you find this information to be helpful!
Question:	Can this be used on the face
Answer:	Hi there! As with all CeraVe products, this tinted facial sunscreen features three essential ceramides to help restore the skin’s natural barrier and lock in moisture. Unlike many other tinted sunscreens, Hydrating Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Face Sheer Tint is also formulated with soothing niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help maintain the skin’s natural moisture—while leaving a sheer, natural finish that blends seamlessly with the skin. If you feel your skin is on the dryer side, you may need a moisturizer before applying this tinted sunscreen. We hope this was helpful!
Question:	Is here any coconut in the ingredients
Answer:	Hi there! It normally does not. To ensure you are buying an authentic CeraVe product on Amazon, only purchase CeraVe branded items that are designated as "Ships and Sold by Amazon.com”; products sold by distributors or third parties are not necessarily authorized. This designation is listed under the item’s purchase price. We hope this was helpful!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the list of active ingredients
Answer:	Ingredients : Titanium Dioxide 3.2%, Zinc Oxide 1.8%,
Question:	Is this product certified reef safe
Answer:	To an extent I guess. It isn't made with Octocrylene or Oxybenzone, just zinc oxide as the active ingredient. It isn't labeled as reef safe and doesn't state that it is made with non nano-particles so we can only assume that it is. Nano-particles of zinc oxide has been shown to be harmful to reefs.
Question:	Is this product non-nano
Answer:	Hey! Yes, this product is non-nano! Thanks for checking. Sun Bum
Question:	Is this reef safe
Answer:	No sunscreen is 100% reef safe, but this is one of the best options available. The ingredients that are worst for reefs are Octocrylene and Oxybenzone which are the main ingredients in normal sunscreens. These chemicals are not on the list of ingredients for this one. It worked great for me! Just beware that sometimes you will see sunscreen that says reef safe on the bottle, but if you check the ingredient list it will have Octocrylene and/or Oxybenzone just in a smaller percentage or lower down on the list than the average bottle.

Apply more frequently after swimming/sweating, or after an aggressive towel dry. Always offer to share.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product biodegradable? It says reef friendly, so I guess so
Answer:	Yes, I think it is.
Question:	Does this stain clothes
Answer:	Don't think so...but it definitely leaves a film on your skin.
Question:	Is this product good for tattoos
Answer:	I have been told the Cool Down works well to brighten tattoos.
Question:	Are Sunbum products "reef safe
Answer:	I was fooled by this brand. After doing more research, the active ingredients in this product are avobenzone, homosalate, octinoxate, and octocrylene, which are NOT reef safe. It turns out many sunscreens claiming to be “reef-friendly” or “reef-safe” actually aren’t, including this brand! Always review the active ingredients to be sure. Products containing the following ingredients are NOT reef safe: oxybenzone, avobenzone, homosalate, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene and/or nanoparticles

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sunscreen have oil in it? I have very sensitive skin and want to find a natural one to use on my face
Answer:	I would say probably not...it is not a scar gel...more of an anti-aging cream, and I love it for that purpose. I use it after washing my face day and night on my face and neck. It seems to have helped more skin feel more smooth and helped a bit with lines around my eyes.
Question:	What are exact actice and inactive ingredients
Answer:	I use the combination of the vitamin c and ha in the daytime and the retinol at night. I don’t think you are supposed to go in the sunlight with retinol on.
Question:	Does it stain white clothes
Answer:	Buenas dentro de la caja llevan las instrucciones, el ácido retinoico solo lo debes usar en la noche,la vitamina c y el ácido hialuronico preferiblemente en el día aunque tambien lo puedes usar en la noche, necesitas solo de 5 a 4 gotas por cada serum no olvidar usar bloqueador solar y si piensas agregarlo seguidos debes esperar a que el producto se adsorba antes de agregarte el otro
Question:	Has this caused anyone to break out? I have very acne prone skin
Answer:	Yes this product is made by artnaturals
Question:	Is this biodegradable
Answer:	Hi there, You should use the retinol serum at night, then retinol moisturizer. In the morning use vitamin C serum, then hyaluronic serum, then face and neck cream and eye cream.
Question:	For what ages is the product recommended
Answer:	Thank you for asking this question, Lavender Flower Extract and Lavender Fragrance are two different items. Although Lavender fragrance is very popular as a scent especially in beauty care products, Lavender flower extract is not the same and serves for many properties. The flower extract is a scentless extract from the plant that contains antibacterial and antifungal effects. Lavender flower extract carries the properties: antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, cleansing, balancing, and soothing it also aids in the healing of wounds, burns, sunburns.
Question:	Does the tube show the expiration date
Answer:	Our products are 100% cruelty free, and NEVER tested on animals. We are proud of our commitment to produce excellent, high quality products without ever needing to harm animals.
Question:	How is this product when applied? Greasy, does it make you white like a ghost
Answer:	It will indeed. Our soothing ingredients help nourish and moisturize your skin. Our active ingredient (Benzalkonium Chloride) kills 99.9% of germs and is gentler than alcohol.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used for adults and children
Answer:	Our whole family uses it. Everyone loves how it smells!
Question:	Does it leave a white cast
Answer:	It does leave a white cast when you first put it on, but it then blends pretty well. If there is any cast after blending, it is truly very minor.
Question:	Does this stain clothes or sting the eyes? Is it safe for a 6 month old baby
Answer:	I started using it on my son when he was 6 months old. Never had any clothes stained and he never experienced eye stinging.
Question:	Why is there a bpa warning on this sunscreen? Does it contain bpa
Answer:	I have done extensive research on sunscreen with lots of trial and error. This is, hands down, the safest and most effective sunscreen on the market (if used properly). It specifically says "BPA free" (along with parabens, etc...) in terms of product ingredients. All plastic tubes will have some chemical (some studies suggest non BPA chemicals can be even more harmful) that will leach especially when heated. This is likely why there is a reminder on the bottle to keep it out of heat or direct sun. You cannot avoid this with any sunscreen. This is a great sunscreen and I trust it on my kids. But, it has to be applied correctly, and often, in the summer - just like any sunscreen. Hope this helps.

Our Story

With a team of physicians & scientists, Thinkbaby & Thinksport lead in the usage of safe materials for consumer products. We don’t wait for materials to make headlines in order to make a change. We continue to expand our products to offer alternatives to existing products on the market. Our efforts are energized by working with leading child advocacy partners & like-minded individuals seeking alternative products. We approach each product with the same criteria: safe, functional, & sustainable.

UVA & UVB Broad-Spectrum

Consumers have been led to believe that ultra-high SPF numbers like 70 and 100 provide much more protection than SPF 30. This is False. SPF 30 provides 97% protection from UVB and SPF 100 provides 99% coverage for UVB. We tell folks if you look at the back of the tube and you see a bunch of words you don’t recognize, you probably don’t want to put that on your skin. It is important that you’re using a truly Broad-spectrum formula that covers UVA and UVB.

Mineral Based Formula

Chemical sunscreens make up the majority of the market unfortunately. They are both cheap and apply clear. Mineral based solutions can cause some amount of whitening during use and are also more expensive. But at what cost is it cheaper. Some mineral base formulations have also taken to using clear zinc or nano particle sized zinc or titanium. We recommend sourcing a non-nano zinc oxide solution. There is just not enough data on the ability for nano particles getting into the blood stream. As such, it is better to embrace the Precautionary principle.

Water Resistant

There are now three levels of water resistance. Not water resistant, water resistant (40 minutes) and water resistant (80 minutes). We have all become used to seeing words like sweatproof or waterproof. There are now very specific tests. Keep in mind, that if you’re at the beach or pool that you’ll need to reapply after being in the water. And to achieve the SPF factor of your sunscreen you have to reapply every two hours. One application does not keep you at SPF 50 or whatever is on the sunscreen label. And you should be using about 1oz to cover an adult body.

Tips for Application

1. Be sure to apply all areas that will be exposed to sunlight, including behind the ears, neck, hands, feet, and scalp 15 minutes before sun exposure.
2. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, at least every 2 hours.
3. While the sunscreen applies very easily, we recommend not spreading it too thin. Otherwise you will decrease the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

Why Sunscreen?

The majority of sunscreens currently on the market are full of questionable ingredients and known carcinogens. Simply looking at the ingredients you'll quickly realize you don't recognize any of them. Many existing sunscreens have been brought to market with little concern for their safety. Not only do ingredients in sunscreen interact with skin, but data shows after application of lotions, some of the same chemicals can be detected in the bloodstream. Most people wear sunscreen to reduce the chance of developing cancer, so why apply something that could potentially increase this risk? This question has unfortunately left many people moving away from using sunscreen at all.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this go on easy, not too thick on your face
Answer:	I actually enjoy using this sunscreen. It feels very comforting to your skin, especially if your skin is already very sensitive or irritated from something else - sunburn, glycolic acids, Retin-A usage, etc. I do find that at night, it takes a double cleanse and a washcloth to remove all of the color from your face. It is waterproof for up to i0 mins...
Question:	Does it dry your skin? I have very dry skin
Answer:	I’ve been using it for about a year and never noticed it was drying until I read these reviews and then noticed that it may be a tiny bit drying but this is without using a moisturizer so I will try adding moisturizer to my face. I just ordered the darker tint and I really like it. I’m very pale, mainly because I always use sunscreen, and I hate using foundation so I love this tinted sunscreen. I’m 60 and I have normal skin.
Question:	Are there any chemicals in this sunscreen or is it 100% natural
Answer:	Even water is a "chemical," dihydrogen monoxide. Chemical does not mean bad or good, natural or unnatural. Each ingredient in every cosmetic product or food you will ever experience is a chemical. I think the better way to go about this inquiry is to ask if any artificial or synthetic ingredients are in the formula, and it is very rare to find any cosmetic without some of these. Even if the original source of an ingredient was a botanical source, it often takes artificial chemical processes to isolate or convert the substance into the final material, which is added to the cosmetic formula. It is virtually impossible to to make a completely "natural product" without some synthetic chemical manipulation of raw materials, even if you do not use artificially created ingredients.
Question:	What color is the tint
Answer:	I would caution that the tint is too dark if you wear porcelain/super light foundations. I can’t wear most drugstore foundations because I am too pale. I wear the lightest IT Cosmetics shade, shade 1N2 in Estee Lauder (the neutral shade of the palest color), etc. I can only wear this sunscreen when I am also wearing sunless tanner. Then, I can wear it alone with some bronzer on top, or my favorite foundation mixed with liquid bronzer. I absolutely love this foundation, but it isn’t for the palest or most fair among us.

What is SPF

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure used worldwide to indicate the level of sunscreen protection. Using an SPF 15 sunscreen means it will take 15 times longer for skin to begin to burn than it would without sunscreen.

Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB

There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) light that can harm your skin- UVA and UVB. A Broad Spectrum sunscreen protects you from both. UVB rays are primarily responsible for causing sunburn while UVA rays are associated with skin aging.

Sunscreen Application

The recommended amount of sunscreen for the average person is 1 Fl Oz. A simple way to remember how much sunscreen to apply is imagine the amount of sunscreen that would fit in a shot glass or the size of a golf ball. Sunscreen should be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating or drying off.

Traditional vs Mineral Sunscreens

There are two general types of sunscreen - traditional and mineral. Traditional sunscreens work by absorbing the sun's rays while mineral sunscreens protect skin by blocking the sun's rays. Whichever type you choose, make sure it provides Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
