3.0 out of 5 stars Ingredients not as listed (new formulation), March 28, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Eltamd UV Physical SPF 41, 85-Gram (Misc.)
I thought I would let others know that as of today (3/28/12), the ingredients in this newer formulation do not match those listed on the website. They have taken out the retinyl palmitate (probably because of the fears that it is a dangerous substance in sunscreens, though I don't think there is a definitive consensus on that). But at least for me, this formulation is very drying to my skin, and, as others have mentioned, a bit hard to get off. I used it on my kids for a week and I could see their skin get drier and take on an "ashy" look (especially at the neck). Otherwise, it seems to work fine as a sunscreen. The tint is non-obtrusive. I think you will have to try for yourself to see if it works for you. FYI, the new ingredients (off the back of the box) are as follows:

Active: Zinc Oxide (9%), Titanium Dioxide(7%); Inactive: Alumina, Butylene Glycol, Citric Acid, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, iron oxide, isopropyl palmitate, lecithin, linoleic acid, methicone,... Read more

I have been searching for a sunscreen for my face that felt weightless and was also a physical block. It has a high safety and efficacy rating on the EWG (cosmeticdatabase.com) and was reccomended by a dermatologist for me. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and this has not irritated it at all. The tint is so sheer, it works on several skin tones. I'm fair olive skinned and it blended perfectly, my sister has dark olive skin and it blended perfectly as well. Gives a light almost goldish healthy glow that looks great. Let it set in before you dress and it shoudln't get on your clothes. It is paraben free and even has retinol in it!

BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Only one I will use, May 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Eltamd UV Physical SPF 41, 85-Gram (Misc.)
Love this sunscreen. Feels weightless, has a nice light tint that allows me to go without makeup on casual summer pool/beach days and doesn't break me out.

And here's a little tip that can save you some $$ - once you think the tube is empty cut it open and scoop out what's left inside. I get at least another week's worth by doing this.
