Thinksport Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen – Safe, Natural Sunblock for Children - Water Resistant Sun Cream – Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Sun Protection – Reef Friendly Lotion, 6oz

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).

Excellent thick waterproof sunblock for surfing that doesn't sting my eyes and stays on. Great for adults too.

I value both quality and a good deal, and while this product is on the pricier side, it’s worth it. It’s mineral-based, bypassing the health concerns of chemical sunscreens, and has a top rating on EWG SkinDeep for its quality ingredients and effectiveness. The smell is amazing, and it leaves little to no white cast if you rub it in well. I included comparison photos using a generous amount of sunscreen; the skin is a little lighter, but not bad at all.I previously used a cheaper mineral sunscreen from Banana Boat but switched after noticing its lower EWG rating and concerns about stability and effectiveness. As consumers, we don’t always know these details, so I trust EWG SkinDeep to keep me informed.

Went on very nice and protected my sun all day at Disney. Excellent product!

I love the EWG health rating and general effectiveness of Think Sport, but I always found it to not really rub in very well, to the point I was coated in white and on my arms it would pool in the hair. And just be quite white and splotchy over me. But I looked at my arm and legs and I don't see any white patches and my face no longer looks so ghostly, so this is definitely my favorite version of ThinkSport so far, and I'm far from a kid.

Good quality sunscreen but have noticed that it seems to leave a residue. Smell seems to remain even after multiple showers. I also noticed this seems to dry our skin. Still, works well a a sunscreen, just have some side effects I am not a huge fan of.

I use this every single day, winter and summer. Apply it after my shower, on face, neck, arms, hands. All exposed areas. It goes on white, which rubs in nicely. On my face, I put my moisturizer, followed by sunscreen (and then foundation if going to church or social occasion). It has a light grapefruit scent, which dissapates if you are going to wear fragrance. A little goes a long way. Very happy with this highly protective sunscreen.

My dermatologist suggested switching to a sunscreen that has zinc oxide in it and this does the trick. Isn’t greasy, smells nice, gentle on skin for kids and adults alike.
