Sensitivity issues emerged as the weakest aspect for buyers, with some experiencing rashes—a concern that aligns with the product's positioning as hypoallergenic.

In their words

This has been one of my favorite natural physical barrier sunblocks for my kids. We have sensitive skin, and none of us react to this. We have 2 red heads, but also strawberry blonds, so we burn fast. The mineral barrier works as soon as you place it on the skin, so you don't have to wait for effectiveness. There is a slight gritty feeling, but that's the barrier. It works, and that's what's most

This sunscreen gave me a horrible rash! I am a redhead and have very sensitive skin. I have used a million kinds of sunscreen “natural” and not, and I have never had a reaction like this. Subsided in 5 days after discontinuing use
