11/12/2024, By AnaThis is my first time trying the product, and really its such super great. Easy to use, coverage is great and the packaging is just super cool. Highly recommend09/10/2024, By TanahThe new formula is AMAZING! Huge difference. Much easier to apply and get out of the tube. Also feels silky smooth on my face :) My new favourite summer product!23/07/2024, By JustineIt’s only 4* due to how hard it is to apply. You can’t push it up the tube (which is how it looks like it’s designed to work). So, you basically have to dig the product out with some kind of implement (a small spoon would work). The texture is grainy and it’s super hard to apply if it’s not warmed (I have bought this in mid-winter in CT - summer heat might soften it naturally and make it easier to apply?).
All that said, once you’ve extracted it and heated it in your hands and found a way to apply it without too much mess - it is actually amazing! Lasts all day and rivals some of my pricier foundations for coverage and glow. I would basically just use this as a foundation.
Taking into account the fantastic price, to me the hassle of application is worth it because I can forgo foundation and use this as an healthier option for my skin.28/06/2024, By BrigetteWow! Wow! Wow!
Love the colour and the texture of the sunblock more than I love the fact that it’s all natural!
after reading everybody’s reviews on how difficult it is to open it, I was ready with my solution: Took a small coin, Inserted in shaft in the back and gently pushed down on the back of a spoon and just moved it slowl. so no problem in getting the sunblock out of the container05/06/2024, By SamLove the new packaging guys! So much easier to apply. Use this product year round.05/06/2024, By SamLove the new packaging guys! So much easier to apply. Use this product year round.05/03/2024, By angelaThe best natural 50spf sunscreen out there, it lasts forever and is extremely water resistant. Great for being on the beach all day, my kids haven't burnt once since using this. Would definitely recommend.03/02/2024, By RoxNice thick coverage.
A tad oily, so more suited to mature skin.
15/11/2023, By TamYou simply don't get a better natural sunscreen that WORKS and is perfect for water sports. stays on, it works and so happy to support a local business that cares for the environment. LOVE the new packaging !08/01/2023, By TamrynLOVE LOVE LOVE. I've been using this for years and it's a staple in my make up bag. I use it for swimming and surfing. I use the fair and my partner uses the tan. It lasts all day in the water and doubles as a foundation, masking my pimples and uneven complexion. Little goes a long way :) If it's cold and hard then just rub it with your fingers until it warms up and softens.23/05/2022, By TinaI don't go anywhere without my Back 2 Nature Zinc. I have just bought a new one after over a year using it everyday (lasts forever) and I'm still in love. Great coverage, waterproof, natural and looks great on my skin.11/05/2022, By ChristineWhat I like about the product is the tint and the sun protection, which works very well. What I did not like is the consistentcy of the 'paste' and the difficulty with application. When mixed with face oil I could spread over my face better but it does not feel like my skin could breathe very well.19/04/2022, By LaurindaWorks well. A Little goes and long way. Love that it’s all natural.27/08/2021, By TrixiLovely and effective however its difficult to apply and for that reason I would recommend using their mineral sun shield instead. Its hard texture that you need to dig into instead of just rubbing on like a lotion.31/05/2021, By LeenBit difficult to get out of the pot, but it did protect my face from the sun and it didn't fee "heavy" on my face like some sunblock do24/03/2021, By RSThis has become a must-have. Love that it is tinted so no issues with it causing white cast (as mineral sunscreens tend to do) and it also provides some complexion coverage for those who don't use foundation. It also has a matte finish rather than a greasy one, which is great for oily skin (I also live in a super humid climate!)01/02/2021, By KellyI didn't realise it was tinted, but it is quite light so it's not bad at all (for a lighter skin). It is hard, and I would prefer it was in a roller/stick type packaging so you can apply directly to the face, rather than from finger to face. But works well, so that's great.06/01/2021, By NPI read all the good reviews and was convinced this would be a good product, but I find it impossible to apply, and even after trying to warm it up in the sun for a little while to soften it, it is still very very thick. unfortunately the tinting didn't match my skin in any way and left me with a strange mauve-y tone.13/12/2020, By sun loverThe consistency is disappointing as it is very hard to apply. I am still not sure how it is supposed to be applied. I mixed some coconut oil and shea butter in to soften; it now it works great.
I love the tinted colour as it does not leave your skin like a ghost as other zinc-based sunscreens.28/10/2020, By TIf you obsessed with the outdoors, the ocean, running etc.. This is your best friend! It works. It doesn't run into your eyes. It doesn't have a crazy, overpowering smell.. Its water and sweat proof! What more do you want!! :) Plus, its 100% natural and eco friendly :)07/10/2020, By Connie????Bought this the day before it went on sale!
Still worth the price, I love the thick matte consistency as the amount of product may last for over a year (or even longer). I believe I received the lighter shade and it was perfect for my warm but pale skin. I'm never buying foundation whilst I have this! AMAZING SUNSCREEN! SUPER EFFECTIVE COVERAGE!18/09/2020, By TianaDifficult to apply, but easier when left in the sun for a while.15/09/2020, By JennyThis is so thick I have to use my nails to get it out of the tin. When I apply it I think I am going to see my skin tear. Not for me!01/07/2020, By AliThis is my go-to face sunblock to make use of throughout the year.
It stays on and sticks even if I am in the ocean for hours. Fantastic that it is all natural.
I have tried a few others, but this one just works best.
In Winter it's solid so I have to heat it up with the car air conditioner,
but that's okay :)
26/06/2020, By LiliGreat to find a natural product that stays on and is safe for the ocean!16/06/2020, By JamesonFinally a sunblock that stays on hubbies face while surfing! Well done guys05/05/2020, By MoniqueThis is by far the best sunscreen I have ever used. Not a big fan of sunscreen in general but fell inlove with this one. stays on for a long time and can double as a light cover up.26/03/2020, By JulieThis product has suddenly become popular. I bought one tub despite it being pricey, because I can see it has good ingredients in it. It works beautifully, so nice not to have a white face and be protected. It does take a while to get it on if its not hot, but it works well. Would definitely recommend. Well done to the manufacturers!16/03/2020, By InaVery good.
I use a mini wooden spoon to get it out, warm it a bit between my fingers, it then applies very easy.24/02/2020, By IdaBlocks well and has a really nice tone. Stays on during the whole surf session!17/01/2020, By LaurenI love it. It's pretty thick and not that easy to apply straight away but once it warms up a bit, you can spread it easily. I love the fact that it is made from natural products and it lasts so long!14/01/2020, By ShannonOne of the best zinc products used. Effective sunscreen, and has a nice tone to it. Also does not have a bad smell. Definitely recommend.03/01/2020, By MarleneGood sun protection, but feels gritty and greasy on my face when I wear it07/12/2019, By ShanaCANNOT go to the beach without it! My all time favorite sunblock that I have ever used! Stays on the face all day, great skin tone colour, so it's not so obvious I am wearing Zinc.. Doesn't run in to the eyes and also doesn't have a potent smell that you can smell on yourself all day. LOVE IT!!! and of course WORKS!!28/11/2019, By JadeThis is by far the best natural zinc type product my family has ever used. Especially good for water sports active people who spend long hours in the water. It doesn't burn your eyes, and comes off easily with a face cloth. Definitely good value for money26/11/2019, By DeirdreEffective sunscreen that sits on top of skin. A bit grainy and quite hard at the beginning. Needs to be warmed up with fingers before applying to "melt" onto skin.14/11/2019, By BarbsExcellent product. I send it to my surfer son in South East Asia.31/10/2019, By CaitlinLove this sunblock!! Cannot surf without it! Has to be applied generously, but it will stay on ALL day!. doesn't run into your eyes, doesnt dry out your skin or block your pores. its the best!!
Worth the investment :)22/10/2019, By AmandaThis is my favourite sunblock, I love the mattifying effect it has on my skin and really, really protects well.08/10/2019, By LiezelEk werk gereeld in die son en kry "adult acne". Die meeste sunblocks laat my vel uitslaan. Die produk het geensins dit gedoen nie. Dit werk goed vir my vel. Die "tint" kleur help ook met die redness van my gesig, lyk soos n ligte onderlaag. Al nadeel is, dit wend moeilik aan.23/09/2019, By TanahBEST natural sunblock I have found amongst all my travels!! It lasts forever, blends in with my skin tone and feels so great on the skin. Haven't got sunburnt once.25/06/2019, By Laurenmy daughter uses this for water polo, when they finished she's the only one that's face is still protected.
she never leaves home without her Surf Zinc18/05/2019, By AnksAt first I thought I wasted my money, but the more I use it the more I love it. I have acne and I don't use make up because it irritates my skin. When I apply this product it not only protects me from sun damage it also minimises redness on my face, which I absolutely love.. Really the only issue is applying it because I don't want to pull on my face because its bad for you to be rough with your skin and it almost feel like an exfoliation which isn't always great if you use it daily. But that said I will continue to use it as I feel the benefits outweigh the drawbacks at this stage.25/03/2019, By SwiggyIt was hard to apply, and felt grainy on my skin. And once it was on I looked pale. I then realized that it was meant to be applied thick like the cricketers do it. Not what I wanted.11/03/2019, By AngieIt is very hard and difficult to apply. Mine started to create little "sandy grains" in the paste, I wonder if it is the Zinc Oxide grouping, if so then the protective factor is gone when I remove the granules. The colour is also very light, not suitable for people with more of an olive, tan skin tone.14/01/2019, By AmandaYou will not burn,that I can guarantee you.
I walked in the sun for 6 hours, and did not burn at all.
It might be challenging to apply in the beginning as it is grainy and really, really hard-a really hard paste! but you will soon grow to love it like I have. I'm not looking back.
It leaves an excellent matte finish and feels great on skin.
I love it.22/12/2018, By RuVery strange texture and a bit of a mission to apply, but it kept us from burning during quite a long hike. It does sit on your skin so I got sweaty quite fast and had to reapply quite often as I kept rubbing it off. It did a good job. Will see how it holds up in the water.19/12/2018, By KimIt takes a bit of work blending it in your skin. I like that it does not leave an oily residue and it has a slight tint which works well to cover redness on your face....and no break-outs.14/11/2018, By EllaIt's great, looks lovely on the skin, not super shiny, and I love that it is not whitening but you do need to rub it in, and that is slightly uncommon for a sunscreen but doable.27/10/2018, By AlexI like it, Its quite hard, but softens to friction (heat of your finger). Tested it in the sun yesterday, seems to have done the job really well. Also, very nice tub that fits into any bag.09/10/2018, By DanielleNot easy to apply on the skin at all. So hard and crumbly, not sure if I am doing anything wrong, cause I just see good reviews, but I dont like this at all.23/09/2018, By ShannonI received this as a sample and will definitely buy it once its finished. It goes on smoothly, and because I am quite pale it blends in with my skin. My skin is pretty sensitive but this doesn't cause any reactions. It has also worked really well when in the sun. No burning as of yet. I look forward to trying it when scuba diving.22/08/2018, By AngeliqueStand out product that protects well and smell great, easy for girls and guys alike to use! It really stays on and protects you!31/07/2018, By JSmells amazing I wanted to eat it ! Incredible product, lasts the whole day in the sea.05/04/2018, By RayBought this recently before going to Tankwa Karoo and I am so pleased with the coverage. Another thing I like about this product is that it is plastic free.03/02/2018, By SuzieOrdered this before a Summer trip to Mozambique and was so thrilled with the results.
Very thick, and certainly makes the skin look a quite ashy, but applied it to all areas that burn easier and found it to be incredibly effective.
We spent hours in the water each day and didn't burn.13/07/2017, By LaraReally effective sunblock! Does leave skin a bit grey, but that doesn't bother me.02/05/2017, By KasparSmells really good and 100% waterproof - in fact, sometimes it's even hard to wash it off after a surf-session!
