Simple Sunblock Lotion spf 30, Unscented

Simple Sunblock Lotion is an unscented, non-greasy, sunscreen. Formulated for all skin types, and for use on face and body, it is light and very quickly absorbed. Depending on skin type, it may leave a very thin white film (any company promising "no white film" is either not using zinc alone or not using it in high enough concentration to be an effective sunblock!). It can be used over or under other facial care products. This is an excellent value compared to other brands of natural sunscreens. Made with 21% natural zinc oxide for blocking UVA and UVB sunrays. Unlike synthetic sunscreens, it contains no chemical UV-absorbers, chemical preservatives, titanium dioxide, or parabens.
