PipetteMineral Sunscreen - SPF 50 Broad Spectrum Baby Sunblock with Non-Nano Zinc, UVB/UVA Non-Toxic Sun Protection for Kids & Sensitive Skin, 4 fl oz

The best mineral sunscreen ever!

This is my favorite sunscreen of all time. I was concerned after ppl said it was different. I compared the ingredients and they seem the same. After using the new bottle for 2 weeks I see literally no difference and would still recommend this. Shake it, rub it in well, wait a few minutes, and it's perfect. I have dry to combination skin, I find it sits well under makeup.

Minimal whitecast; skin is happy

Clean ingredients but I always seem to break out after using it. It's a bit greasy

I have pale, dry skin, and I burn easily. I wear sunscreen for preventing premature aging, so I wear this on my face, neck, and hands. I also have mild rosacea.Also, as much as I do prefer mineral sunscreens, some of the claims they make have been proven false or exaggerated. Science can't actually prove that chemical sunscreens harm coral reefs because they can't test on a large enough scale. And the claim that harmful chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream is mostly a marketing tactic, not all sunscreen chemicals are harmful. Do your own research, and remember: the best sunscreen is the one that you will wear every day.That being said, here are my pros and cons for this sunscreen.The pros:- this is a mineral sunscreen: my face in particular can't handle chemical sunscreens- it's lightweight and easy to rub in- it doesn't burn my eyes unless I rub them and get the product in them, which is my own fault- it leaves a dewy finish. My skin is dry, so I prefer this to a matte finish- I get a tiny amount of white cast, but it goes away after it gets absorbed into the skin- it is very moisturizing, I stopped using my moisturizer in the morning when I started using this- it smells like sunscreen, but not really. And it goes away almost instantly- it's broad spectrum and SPF 50. We don't know the PPD value, but 20% zinc oxide is pretty high, and zinc oxide itself is a good sun-blocking ingredient.- the ingredients: squalene is super moisturizing, and glycerin is a good humectant. It's also fragrance-free- it's NOT water-resistant. This is a pro for me for 2 reasons. (1) some water-resistant sunscreens make my face break out and (2) I can't wash my face with a cleanser every day, so I need a sunscreen that comes off with just waterThe cons:- it feels weird on the skin before it absorbs. While squalene is very moisturizing, it has a texture and if you're sensitive then this can be a little uncomfortable for a few minutes while it absorbs.- it's also sticky while it's absorbing- if you put a full 2 fingers worth on at one time, it feels weird and heavy. I do 1 finger, let it absorb, then do another 1 fingerI work in an office, so I only apply this before I leave for work. If I'm out for the day, I re-apply every 2 hours. After the 4th or so application it does start to feel heavy, but at least I know my skin is moisturized and protected.All in all, I will be repurchasing this as long as they don't make it water-resistant. I can wear it every day, and reapply as needed with no issues.Update 5/9/2022I have repurchased this sunscreen twice now. I still love it and it's the only one I can use consistently. Another pro is that the squalane makes this a really good slip for my morning gua sha routine.

I used to use this product years ago and never had a problem. So, I decided to try again, and I put it on at 10 am by 6 pm my face was itching. When I looked in the mirror, I was red and swollen and hot to the touch. As a woman of color, I was really hoping this worked for me because it was the only mineral sunscreen that didn't leave a very noticeable skin cast, I could cover it up with makeup usually. Now I can't use this product at all, I'm distrustful of this brand, because something has definitely changed in the formula to cause such irritation. As a black woman I rarely get red, but I do have eczema, this product made my face red, and itchy and hot. I'm on day two of this pain but it does seem to be getting a little better.My home treatment after finding this catastrophe on my face was washing my face with Aveeno oatmeal sensitive skin facial cleanser then slathering my face in Eucerin thick rich cream and Vaseline. Never scratch, so I spent the night putting ice wrapped in paper towels on my face, the ice is the only thing that sooths the itchy hot feeling. This morning, I woke up and the red has lessened but my face is still itching. I hope that it gets better, and I don't have to go to urgent care. If irritation continues for more than 5 days my next action will be an urgent care visit to get prescribed prednisone, or a steroid shot but I hope it does not come to such an extreme measure to stop the irritation. If it wasn't for the other 1-star reviews, I would have doubted it was this product. I thank the other ladies who reported the same problem because I would have assumed it was another product. I hope my review helps someone that is dealing with the same reaction. Please don't buy this product it is no longer safe!

So last year I was looking for a sunscreen that wasnt toxic for me or the sea 🪸 🐟 🐠(or at least not to toxic, cause most are), one that didnt have a white cast 🤡 (especially with my makeup), and that can do the job no matter what climate I'm in ☀️.Also my husband needed something that wouldnt burn 🔥 or irritate his eyes.After all my research I ended up with this brand and Thrive.Both great products but I love that Pipette didnt have much of a scent.Not that Thrive has a bad or overwhelming scent to me, but there still a lemon-ish smell.Pipette checked all my boxes, especially in Mexico 🥵.My husband and I wore it everyday and still do.I thought the bottle was to small to use on 3 adults for a whole week using it as directed especially when it comes to reapplying.We still had a little bit left after the trip. 😁My husband used up all the Thrive sunscreen days within the trip b/c hes very fair skin and he over does things sometimes.🤦🏽‍♀️I dont know if Thrive sunscreen hurt his eyes but Pipette did not at all.🙅🏾‍♀️As fair skin as he is he didnt burn the whole trip and he got a nice tan which is very hard for him since hes a burnner.All in all this is a great product for my family 🥰 and Im looking forward to trying out their other products.This is my 2nd or 3rd time buying it on here and the first time my package was delayed 2 days.Just something to think about if you have a big trip coming.

Do I like the sunscreen a lot? Yes, it's nice. I prefer it. However watching the price go from 6 dollars to 16 dollars? Price gouging. Not a fan.
