I bought this product because I liked the idea of using something without all the added chemicals. I have to say I was disappointed as I would not call this invisible at all. It goes on as quite a thick, white cream and is definitely not invisible. It does keep me from burning but there are other products that do that without leaving my skin white.

Reviews
Some sunscreens irritate my skin so I decided to try a physical sunscreen like all zinc based sunscreens. This sunscreen was very thick and felt greasy on my face, also left a white cast on my olive skin that was very difficult to try and rub in. I tried for five minutes and I still looked kind of grey. It certainly did the job, and my face didn't sting, but my face looked and felt bad. Hate to waste things so I'll use it up at the beach when I need heavy protection, but certainly not day to day at work due to the appearance.
Was hoping this could really be worn under makeup but it's so sticky and greasy it messes with my foundation. I thought it was meant to be invisible, you can tell it's there haha
Have used better. I guess what I don’t like is how much it burns when a little comes close to your eyes. I also don’t like how white it makes my skin, and how sticky this is.
I bought the Invisible Zinc Face + Body sunscreen after seeing it reviewed in a magazine and I was after a sunscreen product that didn't contain all the nasty parabens and chemicals present in most other products on the market. It absorbs quickly and doesn't show but is a thick product and I find it feels heavy on my skin, especially on my face. However, I had noticed on a recent holiday that when swimming it would come up white on the skin. This being said, I always apply this when I know I'm going to be a long time in the sun and have never burnt. Still waiting for more natural sunscreen products to hit the market.
Tips: Make sure you spread it out considerably and wait a good period of time before swimming with it on.
ive gone through so many sunscreens and never find the perfect one, my mum gave me this and i love it, you don't need a lot which makes the tube last forever, i goes on a bit greasy but otherwise its a good sunscreen
Thick product to spread, and left a white residue on my skin, however I have never been burnt using it and it is kind to my skin so I use it when at the beach when I know I need good protection
Tips: Needs plenty of rubbing to get coverage over the body
This is a sunscreen I always go back to especially for my kids. I wanted something that worked really well but was quite natural and didn't have any of the nasties you find in nearly every other sunscreen. My issue has been with some natural sunscreens that they just don't work as well as some of the mainstream chemical laden sunscreens. My children are very fair and this always seems to keep them protected. It is quite think but once spread over and rubbed in is ok. It does leave a definitely lightening effect to the skin. No one in my family reacts to this, it's effective and a little goes a long way so a bottle lasts a long time. We will definitely be continuing to buy. Love it!
Tips: Cut the tube open when you've got as much out as you can and you can get quite a bit more out!
Recommend this product for it being non reactive and relatively easy to rub on. It was great for my daughter who reacted to some sunscreens when she was younger. It is much better than how zinc used to be… it used to be almost impossible to apply it was so thick and sticky. But I am thrilled to say that this invisible since is much better in that respect. Though still not as easy to apply as some other brands, it is worth it for the fact it did not react with my daughter.
Tips: Accept the fact it is thicker than some other brands, but worth it if you have a sensitive kiddo :)
I bought this at Countdown when they were having a clearance sale. I wanted a cheap natural sunscreen for my hands. First of all I want to say that it's not invisible it leaves a thick hard to rub in white layer. I don't mind reapplying this on the backs of my hands as it keeps from getting sunburned, it's not moisturizing though which is weird because it's very thick and greasy. My hands haven't gotten sunburned so I would say it's doing it's job but it doesn't live up to it claims as "a sunscreen for the face" or "non-whitening" or "dries clear". When the tube's finished I'm not going buy another one.
Tips: If you use it as a sunscreen for your hands apply a good hand cream underneath as it will dry out your skin.
