Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+ Review

I’ve purchased this many times over the last ten years as my skin is very reactive it’s hard to find a sunscreen that is gentle enough but still looks and feels good once applied. I think this is quite a smart and balanced formulation, the two actives being physical + chemical (zinc and octinoxate) allows far less white cast and heaviness than a fully physical block, yet none of the greasiness and stinging that you’d get from a chemical formulation.

This comes in a great little tube with a firm-click flip-top lid. I love this sort of packaging, as it's hygienic and air-tight, and also really handy for chucking into my bag when I'm in a rush. The product itself is quite a thick cream, but it's surprisingly easy to spread on the skin, and melts in quickly to a clean, non-greasy finish. It does leave a very faint white cast on the skin, but as I'm a really pale girl anyway, it actually evens out my skin making me look a bit more 'finished', so I like it. I really love that it has all these skin-nourishing ingredients in it, that it's free of nasty chemicals, cruelty-free, and born and bred in NZ! It means I feel good about using it as an everyday cream. However, it's not as moisturising as I had expected. I usually wear a moisturiser underneath, and then it works fine, although by the end of the day my skin feels like it needs a good hydration boost. I do have dry skin though, so for someone with oilier skin, this would probably be perfect on its own. I've never had the slightest hint of stinging or irritation from this sunblock, it feels comfortable on, looks natural, isn't too expensive, and protects my delicate, pale skin from our vicious NZ sun. Love it!

This sunscreen goes on like moisturiser - i really like it. However, i need to reapply it often to avoid burning

This is the only sunscreen I buy to put on my children's skin. I love that it doesn't need to be rubbed in 100% (it sinks in on its own), so I can see that I haven't missed any spots.

I trust this brand not to use ingredients that could potentially damage my family's skin.

It comes in a decent-sized tube that can be easily thrown in my handbag and has an easy-to-access flip top. It's expensive, but it lasts a long time, so it's worth the money.

I've got several friends and family members onto this sunscreen and they're all converts.

This product is amazing and we swear by it. Natural and non irritating, it’s white going onto skin but this allows you accuracy and safe coverage esp on children. Used for many summers and never had any burns! Really trusted sunscreen.

I really like this sunscreen. I have a small tube that I use just for my face/neck because using normal sunscreen tends to make me greasy and breakout.

This sunblock doesn't make me greasy and my skins feels normal after I've applied it which is completely foreign with me and sunblocks! The only thing is that you don't rub this sunscreen in, you let it sit on your skin and sort of sink in. I don't really have a problem with this but it can be a bit of a hassle if you're rushing out the door and suddenly remember to put sunblock on. Waiting 15 minutes for it to disappear into your skin can be quite a while.

Apart from that, I can't really criticise this product. I might even think about buying a larger tube to use on my body too.
