I'm picky when it comes to sunscreen so this is the only product I've found that fits the bill.

I have really sensitive skin so I was really relieved to have finally found an organic sunscreen product with zinc in it that's both fragrance free, thick enough for winter so I don't have to put on moisturiser and can stay on under a light touch of foundation. I've tried sunscreens which are organic but makes my face look like a disco ball. Some won't let my foundation sit well, peeling off into little strands when I pat my make up pad on skin. I've tried the chemical ones but they just end up making my face break out. And the amount of fragrance is enough to knock a bull over.

I have used the cheapest brand (Aldi) to medium price stuff you get at the supermarkets, to med-exsy stuff from Paula Begoun (her zinc one) and even $100 a bottle sunscreens from the dermatologist. Each one did something to my skin or my make up, or stank, or looked too ghostly/shiny. So finally when I came across an organic one that seem to have all the boxes ticked, I gave it a go.

The Pros:
It stayed under my make up without wrecking the finish.
It left my face with a matt finish so I didn't feel like I've been greased up with lard.
It's organic, but I actually bought it mainly for the no fragrance and zinc base cream.
It moisturised my face so I didn't have to put on extra moisturiser.
They delivered it pretty quickly.

The Cons:
It's not cheap, but ain't too pricey either. At $43 bucks a pop, excluding shipping.
It's a bit thick when squeezing out of the tube. At first I wondered if the thick sunscreen will spread at all, but surprisingly it did and wasn't greasy. I'd probably use this during cooler weather and use a lighter sunscreen in summer.

I'm not for botox, but I'm not for wrinkles either so Cyren's organic SPF15 moisturiser is kinda like insurance to prevent me from getting liver spots like my nan.

Approximate cost: $43.00

thank you. i've just spent similar amount on Wotnot organic sunscreen. it is wonderful for body sunscreen but terrible for my face - which was the whole purpose - way too greasy and shiny and then leaves a rough layer after washing off. I will try this one.
