Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+ Review

My search for my holy grail sunscreen is over, as you can't get better than this oasis sunscreen!

I was looking for a sunscreen especially for my little 21 month old daughter to protect her from the harsh auckland sun. The sunscreen I had previously was supposed to be for sensitive skin, but using it on my daughters face she rubbed some into her eye and it became irritated and I just wasn't happy with the formula.

So, what do I do in my search to find a fantastic sunscreen? Research sunscreens on BR of course, and Oasis sunscreen sounded amazing. Off to the website I went and ordered a small 50ml version, perfect to pop into the pram or my small bag. I also wanted to make sure it was right for us, before jumping in to purchase the large size.

The packaging is stylish and sleek, with its orange and yellow colouring and flip top cap. Convenient and secure packaging which does not leak- just perfect to pop in your bag.

The sunscreen is white and has a lotion like consistency. It easily rubs into the skin and makes your skin feel lovely and moisturised. It doesn't leave an oily, whitish residue like other sunscreens can. It easily absorbs into your skin, you totally forget that you are wearing it- I've never had this with a sunscreen before!

It's quite pricey compared to other sunscreens on the market, but definitely worth it in my opinion-this a top quality product.

I have always been slightly wary of sunscreen, as I have eczema prone skin. But this product has caused me no irritation and has been so gentle on my skin.

This sunscreen is perfect, it protects us so well from the sun and perfect for sensitive skin. I'm so particular what I put on my daughters skin, but Oasis have made a fantastic sunscreen here. I'm definitely happy and will never be without this sunscreen now for my daughter and myself. After applying sunscreen to my daughter she always ask for more, so that's definitely a winner product by my books.

Five stars, thanks Oasis-yet another fab product!

I was fortunate enough to get this during Oasis's sale. I wasn't keen to pay full price in case I wasn't happy with it, and others are so much cheaper. But there is a reason they are cheaper.

I love the packaging. It's so sunny and bright. The tube is big, but still fits in my handbag - and you can get a travel one if you need it.

The formula is great. I hate sunblocks that make you feel like you need to wash it all off straight away. This one I put on 3 boys and then myself and I don't feel greasy and gross. It has a pleasant smell which isn't overpowering like some - the boys like this, our last one "stinks like perfume" apparently!

My oldest and I burn at the drop of a hat, this summer we spent two weeks camping and aside from the last day where I stupidly forgot to put it on anywhere other than my face - we didn't get burnt! That's two weeks out in the full sun, on the beach, and no burn. I love it.

The only thing I would have marked it down a little on is not being able to wear it under make up - it says that you can, but when I have tested this out I find my make up slipping off in a hurry. This could be because my skin is oily and the combination of the two means my make up moves. But I didn't think it was enough to take a whole star away ;)

So in my opinion, it's worth spending a little extra and getting something that works well and feels good. And lasts! We are still using our tube when others disappear so quickly.

Thank you BR for recommending this Sunscreen. Its awesome. I found it to be totally non greasy so makeup glides on without streaking. No white caking either. The scent is about perfect. Not too cloying just very faint and hard to describe , almost non existent.A little goes a very long way so well worth the outlay.

This product is great for sensitive skin. Its also non greasy which make me feel comfortable wearing it on my face while enjoying a day in the sun. I sometime brake our in a slight rash if I use the wrong product on my face. Didn't happen with this. I love that it is NZ made too. It is a shame its a tad on the expensive price but is often the case if you want quality and nz made. It does seem to last well which makes up the expensive price tag.

I was lucky enough to win a bottle of this sunscreen to try. I hate wearing sunscreen in general because of the greasy feeling it leaves me and I didn't get that with this bottle.

I also use it on my kids.

I read this great blog that suggested using moisturiser as well as a decent SPF 30 was likely to create an oil slick and challenged me to use just sunscreen for 7 days, this was the one she recommended and I can see why. Its great coverage and doesn't clog your pores but leaves your skin feeling fresh and hydrated and ..... it seems to let my makeup stay on much longer. The oasis crew are lovely to deal with too which is an added bonus. Oh and NO animal testing

After having a major allergic reaction to a certain sunscreen brand making my face swell, burn, causing breathing problems and putting me in hospital I am so careful as to what sun protection I use. I use this sunscreen with no problems. I guess with the allergy I can't be too picky and have to take what works but I love that this is locally made, packed full of natural ingredients and is effective. I would say there are a few flaws - can make skin have a white appearance until fully absorbed, not waterproof, and needs to be reapplied more regularly than some other sunscreens but these are minor. The fact I can use it and not worry about dying is a huge plus. Reasonably priced for the size and actually applies easily and spreads far so good value for something that's not packed full of too many chemicals. No strong or unpleasant scent.. it smells like sunscreen - very plain. Very sensitive to heat I find so if left in car this can alter the effectiveness and viscosity of the product so I recommend keeping in the house or bag.. but this isn't a problem when there are some great sizes available for purchase. The range has sample to family size and a large family pump size - very handy. I understand that oasis actually makes a water proof one now so will be testing that out for the beach but for now I will be super happy to use this.

I love this suncream, it dosnt leave your skin pale and sticky, it absorbs I n nicely and it’s great that it has no awful chemicals, and it’s made in Nz. it dosnt have a strong sunscream scent either, overall a great suncream.

I love this sunscreen especially since it is more natural and I feel confident using this on my daughter's skin with no nasty ingredients. It works really well but is not water resistant. I wish it was cheaper so that it is accessible to more families but you do pay for quality here. It absorbs well and isn't sticky.
