4.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good., July 2, 2009
This review is from: Mexitan Tropical Sands SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen, 8-fl. oz (Misc.)
I bought this product 2 months ago and tested it first on a sunny day when I knew I'd be outside long enough to see results. I smeared a dot on each shoulder - should've put it all over because I ended up being out much longer than planned and burned each shoulder except for the quarter sized pale dot where the Mexitan had been applied. My husband and I use it frequently on ourselves and our 3 little boys - no one has gotten burned yet. We do apply it 20-30 minutes before going out so that it has time to work properly. The smell is not offensive, just clean and fresh smelling. I have very sensitive skin but haven't had any rashes, so that makes me happy.

Our only complaint is that if you rub it too long or apply to an area where you already just applied it, it can slough or roll off in little bits. It spreads very easily unlike some of the other sunscreens that are safer or more natural. Takes a little practice and getting used to - just spread quickly and thoroughly... Read more

This sunscreen is like no other I have ever used, and I am not sure if it is in a good way. It does not absorb into the skin like normal lotions. Instead, it creates a film on top of the skin. Do not apply too much and smooth over skin quickly, again do not try to rub it- just spread and let dry before dressing.
It peels pretty bad if you apply too much.
It did prevent sunburn on my recent cruise and 6 hour open boat excursion in Cozumel. I bought this due to the fact that our reef system is damaged by chemical sunscreens and spending time exploring reefs, I never want to damage them. For that reason, I would buy again. Just beware that the application takes a little practice.

This review is from: Mexitan Tropical Sands SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen, 8-fl. oz (Misc.)
My wife and I recently spent ten days in Mexico and she used this product to cover most of her torso and back. In years before when we spent excessive amounts of time in the sun she would develop a rash/ water bubbles around her neck, chest, and shoulder area. We did not know if it was sun poisoining, an allergic reaction to sunscreen, a heat rash, etc... We just knew she had a problem. So we decided to get an oxide based, naturals sunscreen to see if this would solve the problem. The past three years she has broken out but this past trip she never broke out once. We would spend approximately 4 hours in the sun in the morning and three in the afternoon and would apply once in the morning and once before heading back into the sun for the afternoon. She never once got burned and never once got the rash. This is a great product and I would reccomend to anyone. It leaves you with a great looking tan without the dangerous burn.

However, the product does have some quirks. The... Read more
