23.5% Zinc Oxide….nuff said
Impressed. I was prepared to deal with some serious white cast given such a high mineral content. But this stuff rubs in almost undetectable after 30 seconds. Made me question if it would really be that effective. Been out a few times surfing mid day, full blast sun on the ocean for 2 hours, salt water washing machine….this stuff held on and did its job. Zero burn, zero redness or anything. This is my new go-to for intense sun exposure in active conditions. Great stuff!

Great sunscreen, reef safe, minimal gritty residue
Great product – goes on clear and does not leave as much of a gritty residue like many other mineral-based suncreens. Smells nice too.

My new favorite sunscreen.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the sun and used a lot of different sunscreens over the years (I’m 47). Some have been chemical-based, some physical (like mineral and zinc oxide), some reef-safe, and some sport sunscreens (for beach volleyball and such), some mainstream/big brand, and some from local and indie companies (including Korean and Australian brands). Thrive is probably my favorite sunscreen ever. It’s pricey but worth it. Effective and so luxurious on my skin. It has a nice mild smell too. Gave me peace of mind while vacationing and snorkeling in Cozumel recently. Not a single sunburn in 8 days. It’s pricey for sunscreen but I’ve paid way more for a luxury body oil and this sunscreen makes my skin feel like I’m using an expensive body oil. Highly recommend.

Effective and low cast reef-safe sunscreen
I have tried a dozen or more reef-safe sunscreens, and I think this is one of the best. Yes, it looks white starting out, but it only takes a little bit at a time, and with a little patience and rubbing, it goes away. And then it lasts pretty much all day! I never felt I had to re-apply other than the stuff I use on my face (I didn’t use this on my face). Now, I do try to sit in the shade about half the time, and I don’t swim a whole lot, so I’m not wiping my skin with a towel all day. I took off a star because it may stay on TOO well–I noticed even after showering that it was likely still on my skin, but for a week’s vacation, I liked it a lot.I should note that I have white skin (Swedish/Scottish). It does tan eventually but can also burn, but I’m not one of those really white-white girls who immediately burn if they walk outside. I would like especially to thank the Black women who reviewed this product–I bought it because several said the white casting wasn’t too bad. I figured it they could take it, so could I!

Safe, Effective, and Gentle on Skin!
I absolutely love this sunscreen! It provides strong SPF 50 protection without any harsh chemicals, which gives me peace of mind knowing my skin and the ocean are both safe. The formula is mineral-based, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or sticky feeling so common with other sunscreens. I can wear it all day while hiking, swimming, or just lounging outdoors, and it never irritates my skin.I also appreciate that it’s reef-safe and Hawaii 104 compliant — it feels great to use a product that’s effective for me and responsible for the environment. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it doesn’t leave a white cast like some mineral sunscreens. Overall, it’s a high-quality, thoughtful sunscreen that I’ll definitely be buying again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe, effective sun protection!

No eye burn
I have eczema and the sun causes flare ups. I use a lot of sunscreen when outside, biggest issue I have is eyes burning from sunblock. I have gone through a lot of high-end sunscreens. I thought tallow was the ticket but after using for about a year it started burning my eyes, maybe they changed the formula or its just me. Found Thrive and it’s the best for me so far for eye burn and goes on great, greasy at first and a bit of white cast but once dry its no longer greasy, and no white cast.

Best reef-safe sunblock
I tried around 8 different reef safe sunblocks. Australian Gold and Thrive were the best. The only reef safe sunblocks are those that use either non-micronized Zinc Dioxide, or non-micronized Titanium Dioxide. Any sunblock with other active ingredients may claim to be reef safe, but it isn’t.Why wear reef safe sunblock? All water goes to the ocean eventually, so I try to use this stuff as much as I can. But you especially should wear it if you’re going anywhere near a tropical coral reef. They’re vital ecosystems that are having enough trouble as it is. Hawaii has already banned a few of the most harmful ingredients, though there are still plenty out there that are still technically allowed.Thrive spreads more easily and evenly than anything else I’ve tried. If you’re concerned with the aesthetics of lotion that is visibly white, definitely go with Thrive. It’s pretty oily, but that oil allows the mineral sunscreen to be evenly distributed, even on hairy skin. This is from the perspective of someone who is relatively pale, so I don’t know about people with darker skin. My guess is that is would visibly lighten you a tiny bit, but since it spreads so evenly, the lightness will be uniform.I would also argue that Thrive, along with most other mineral sunblocks, is functionally better than chemical sunblock. It protects you for longer, and stays on longer while you’re submerged in water. That said, Australian Gold is king when it comes to being functionally the best (it’s also cheaper). Thrive is cosmetically the best, and will probably protect you just as well if you aren’t going in the water.One more word of warning, if you do try Australian Gold. Not all Australian Gold sunblocks are reef safe. They do make non reef safe, chemical sunblocks… make sure you buy the ones that say “botanical.” As far as I know Thrive does not make a non reef-safe sunscreen, so that’s another good reason to go with Thrive, to reward the company that has more responsible practices.

The best sunscreen
It blended great (the same as regular sunscreen) and worked amazing! I was in the sun for a week in the Caribbean and did not burn once. Also, it’s non-nano which is not the case for all sunscreens labeled “reef safe”. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to love this product but it dried out my skin. A few days after I began using it I noticed my the skin on my arms was tight and itchy. I thought perhaps it was a change of weather that might have caused the sudden dryness but it continued. I stopped using the sunscreen and my skin has returned to normal. It’s a pity because this is a pricey sunscreen with good ingredients. I’ll finish using it along with extra body oil or moisturiser but won’t buy it again.
