I went to a 5 day, outdoor music festival with minimal shade for the entire time. I used Sun Bums mineral sunscreen in roll on, spray, face stick and lotion form and did not get a sunburn!! I am super super fair skinned so this was IMPRESSIVE. I also have very sensitive skin and have never had a reaction! Below is the photo of how much sunscreen I went through ;) Shannon K. · trustthebum.com

I've gone through many different SPFs, particularly mineral based ones. I tend to find mineral spfs are quite gritty and leave a white cast. However after trying this, it's soooooooo good. I love it. Doesn't leave white cast and doesn't make my face feel chalky throughout the day. I do repeat use it but a little goes a long way as its quite fluid. I love it, can't complain Meeshc · spacenk.com
