Thinksport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ Zinc Oxide, Water Resistant, 3 Fl Oz

As a parent who obsessively researches every product that touches my kids’ skin (especially with how underregulated sunscreens are in the US), I’ve tried nearly every nontoxic formula out there. From butters to tinted moisturizers, nothing checks all the boxes for me like Thinkbaby. I’ve been using it since 2018, and here’s why I have it on subscription: All-Day Protection You Can Count On We recently spent a full day at Clearwater Beach. 6+ hours in direct sun, not a cloud in the sky, 95 degrees, no shade, no reapplication (oops) and my kids didn’t burn. It’s water-resistant, sweat-proof, and sand-proof, and actually stays put even during serious outdoor play. Cleaner Ingredients, Without Sacrificing Performance Most non-toxic sunscreens are thick and difficult to apply. This formula is lighter than most competitors, but still offers high, reliable protection. If you spray in a quick motion, rub it in, and layer as needed, you can control the coverage. It’s not a chemical mist. It’s a safe, effective sunscreen in a more convenient format. Yes, There’s a Whitecast—But I Don’t Care Here’s the truth: your risk of melanoma doubles after just five sunburns. It’s worse for your little ones who have thinner skin. I’ll take a little white tint over that any day. If you really need it gone, Babo Botanicals makes a great nontoxic shampoo and body wash that removes sunscreen and chlorine easily. Budget-Friendly for Families One bottle lasts my two kids 6 weeks with regular use (about three times a week). That breaks down to less than 50 cents per use for safe, long-lasting protection. Totally worth it. If you’re tired of throwing money at nontoxic sunscreens that don’t work, or don’t last, give Thinkbaby a try. Learn how to apply it properly and it’ll be your go-to, too.

Set out to find a healthier and more effective sunscreen for my family for the summer months. I purchased this mainly for my two children, but my husband and I use it as well. I purchased the sport version because the scent seemed most appealing to me and to my understanding, the formula is the same for all three versions with the exception of the scents. Went to the beach a week ago and while we've used this sunscreen a few times out and about, I figured this would be ultimate test. We live in southern California and I almost always get at least a slight burn at the beach, even with sunscreen. We applied this when we arrived and stayed for about 5 hours. I was very happy with the scent because it didn't have that classic sunscreen scent that I'm no so fond of... It smelled really good and I'm glad I chose the Sport version, though I'm sure the other versions smell nice too. When we arrived home, I was extremely happy to notice that no one even had a hint of a burn at all. It's obviously not SPF 100 so it didn't completely block the sun, but it protected our skin from damage and I just noticed a VERY SLIGHT tan, which I was glad to have. I have very pale skin so it's difficult to find a sunscreen that protects my skin from the sun, without leaving me completely pale all year round. My husband and children are darker in natural skin color and we didn't notice a problem upon application. It does have that slight white cast, but once it settles in after application, it goes away within a few minutes. Very satisfied with my purchase and will be repurchasing for all my sunscreen needs!

I recently went on a trip to Cancun where we swam in cenotes and the ocean. It’s best to wear reef safe sunscreen there for the environment. This was a great option and kept us protected from the sun. The only downside is that it leaves a bit of a purple cast. And you have to spend a bit of time rubbing it in. But if your main concern is sun protection, this works.

I love this face-sunscreen stick. This is my second summer using the product. it's easy to rub the product into the skin (after applying with the stick); massaging it in gets rid of the white-cast. It's been great for my sensitive, break-out prone skin. If you keep on top of application (like with any sunscreen), it protects from burning. Definitely recommend :)

This sunscreen is great. Bring half Italian and half Russian, the Russian wins in the sun lol, I burn then tan wonderfully. However I have applied this last couple of times I was pool bound abs it did an amazing job of protecting me. I did NOT burn but I do have a nice glow. It stayed on rather well in water and was not difficult to shower off later. I spend 30 minutes a day combined outside chasing my school kiddos and I apply it EVERY morning without fail and I have zero irritation or breakouts. I have mixed it with sheer pink lipgloss and my lips have never felt beer and it gives a mauve hue to the gloss. I definitely give this 5 stars as I love the product and unlike all of the “top” sellers and pricier products, this is Yuka approved.

I will start by saying that I am used to traditional non-mineral sunscreens and tend to only buy physical/mineral-based sunscreens when I'm going to be in a tropical ocean and need something reef-safe, though more and more kids sunscreens are shifting to mineral-based. After quite a bit of research I settled on ThinkSport for my family's recent trip to Hawaii, and I'm very pleased with it. I brought and used three types of Thinksport sunscreen: Thinksport Kids lotion (yellow/orange and teal squeeze bottle), Thinksport adult lotion (Black, white, and orange squeeze bottle), and Thinksport adult spray (black, white and orange spray bottle). All protected us from sunburn and rubbed in to be invisible as long as skin was dry and free of visible hair (visible whiteness persisted around my husbands facial stubble and chest hair). The only difference between the kids lotion versus the adult lotion is scent--the kids version has a fruitier, more tropical but not-too-strong scent (possibly coconut and something else? it was hard to identify) that I found unobjectionable (though one if my kids wasn't a fan), and the adult lotion had a lighter, less sweet, more citrus-y scent (my son though maybe lime and mint, but I'm not sure that's accurate) that I LOVE. The adult spray had no discernible scent, so I suspect the kids spray might be fairly unscented as well. The easiest to apply by far was the spray--it sprays on white, but feels very light, rubs in easily, and becomes invisible quickly. I was a little worried about whether it could possibly be effective given how light and thin it felt, but it was! The lotions weren't thick for a lotion (but much thicker than the spray) and went on easily, but took more rubbing in to disappear than the spray (this is consistent with my experience with lotion vs spray in traditional sunscreens as well). Invisibility was harder to get after a second or third application or when skin was damp, but all-in-all I found all three Thinksport products to be superior to other mineral-based sunscreens I have tried in the past. In the future I'll probably buy the adult thinksport spray for my kids and husband (who all much prefer a spray-on sunscreen) and the adult thinksport lotion for myself (because I love the scent and don't mind rubbing it in).

After receiving it today, I applied some to my face, neck, arms, and legs, and then took a 1 hour bicycle ride. This sunscreen goes on fairly easy, and it smells fine, a little citrusy. It does leave a white film on the skin, but you have to remember that this is a "physical" sunscreen, meaning it physically blocks or reflects the sun's damaging rays from your skin as opposed to a lot of the other stuff that does so chemically. I'm guessing Thinksport does this only if you put it on thick enough that it leaves a visible, white (think reflecting) film on your skin. I did apply it thick enough to leave that film, and I'm okay with having that look. However, it also was not friendly to my red sleeveless shirt which, I think, the zinc oxide in the screen may have stained. Ironically, I received this month's Consumer Reports magazine on the same day I received my order of Thinksport Sunscreen, and they rated this sunscreen #29 out of 35 lotions they tested. Their testing allegedly determined that the actual SPF is 0-9 instead of the 50+ claimed. I have no idea how accurate their testing is and, frankly, that isn't the biggest, most bothersome issue for me. I do suspect though that if people are not putting this on thick enough to cause the white film on their skin, then they are not achieving maximum, as-advertised, SPF. The biggest negative issue for me is how much of a pain it is to wash the stuff off. I spent at least twice as long as normal in the shower scrubbing and scrubbing to wash it off my arms and legs. Initially, I applied my usual amount of shower gel to a clothe but, as soon as I started washing an arm, the lather disappeared and the clothe would barely slide across my arm. I think I used about 25% of the bottle of shower gel plus alternating with a bar soap until I finally felt like I had the stuff washed off. I think IF you wear it like your supposed to wear it, nice and thick, you could achieve the SPF you're looking for. However, IF you don't like the thought of having a white reflective film on your skin and don't want to spend twice the time, twice the water, and twice the soap to wash it off your body, then maybe this is not your sunscreen.

Leaves a white film compared to other sunscreens, takes a lot of work to apply. It is a better rated sunscreen 9less chemicals) and I got it on Prime day on sale otherwise I wouldn't spend the money for it. I got The Spray and the Cream and they both leave a white film.

Waterproof and definitely protects you when doing water sports. Just note you will get white cast on your skin so use when you are about to go in water/to the beach rather than for everyday use.

Effective sunscreen

اعجبني لاته على ذمث الشركه بانه لايحتوي مواد ضاره وبالحقيقه جربته على البحر ولم يؤثر علي لكن كل ساعتين استخدمه واضع منه لضمان عدم التأثر بالشمس

Ganz besonders feine Textur, nicht wie die üblichen Cremes. Guter Sonnenschutz auch im Gebirge.

Aguanta un buen rato en el agua y no da grasa. Tampoco te deja la cara muy blanca. La volveré a comprar
