Best Sunscreen I’ve Ever Had, December 1, 2011
By Tauruscharging
I like it; goes on smooth and easy, October 17, 2011
By LisaLee21
This sunscreen doesn’t have carcinogenic ingredients and it works well. It doesn’t leave
a white film on your skin. It’s the best by far that I’ve ever used.
This sunscreen rubs in really easy. Its not thick and goopy. Also whats nice is its not watered-down like the cheap sunscreens
seems to be, the ingredients lists has stuff like shea butter and aloe vera. And no sunburn after an afternoon hike in the
mountains... I highly recommend it after that.
better than most “natural” sunscreen!, June 7, 2011
By Katie Bee (Cleveland, OH)
As a conscientious mother to a very active toddler, I have tried many different sunscreens, basically by picking from the
EWG’s recommendations [...]. The Beyond Coastal is our favorite so far! It absorbes better and is less greasy than some of
the other brands. California Baby was our favorite before we found this, but that one is hard to rub in and leaves what I call a
“moon glow” look - the minerals make the skin look a little purple-y, which doesn’t matter so much for a kid, but I felt a little
odd as an adult. Literally my only complaint with Beyond Coastal is that it has a slightly odd smell - almost like warm milk. Not
much of a complaint when you think of all the benefits of using a safe product for your family!
Beyond My Expectations, August 23, 2010
By Barbster
I have tried so many different sunscreens and this one is by far the best. It goes on smoothly like regular face cream. It isn’t
tacky or sticky like so many sunscreens that I have used in the past. I don’t dread putting this cream on like the others. Try it!
Excellent Sunscreen, August 23, 2010
By KisaCar (Washington)
I learned about this sunscreen from EWG website. I was looking for a safe non-mineral sunscreen (I love the idea of mineral
sunscreens, but the white residue is a deal-breaker). This sunscreen is fabulous! It’s easy to apply and absorbs very quickly.
The texture is nice: not heavy and yet not runny. It’s on the pricier side, especially when compared to drugstore options. But,
in my opinion, the cost is well worth it!
Great sunscreen, August 15, 2010
By C. Meiners (Brooklyn, NY)
So I have been working my way through the EWG suggested sunscreens and I have to say this is my favorite. It has very light
smell that reminds me a little of cake batter. The four ounce size is a great deal. The sunscreen is a little more lotion like than
the mineral sunscreens and it rubs in very well and does not turn me the white-blue that California Baby and Loving Naturals
leaves me. It is stays on and lasts a long time. I am pretty pale and burn easily and this will last me a solid 4-5 hour bike ride,
if I am not wiping off my sweat all the time.
The Best Sunscreen!!!, June 30, 2008
By B. Patton
On a recent boating trip my husband got sunburned, even though he had been wearing a 45 SPF Banana Boat sunscreen.
He was told Beyond Coastal was more effective and used higher quality ingredients than other sunscreens , thus a little more
pricey. He used it, loved it, and brought some home. I used this on an all day trip to the beach with no shade. The kids were
in and out of the water and in direct sun all day and no one got burned, even though I didn't re-apply after swimming. I have
not been able to find it in the stores so I was very glad to find Amazon carries it and will be stocking up. I love the fact that
they use all organic ingredients and their products are paraben and paba free so I feel great about using them on my kids. I
even use it on my face- the SPF 30. They also make a very soothing after sun lotion, which we've tried and liked.

Finally one that does work!, September 6, 2011
By sun sufferer
My son has number of allergies and he easily break outs to sun screen. We have tested a number of good sun screens rated
by EWG, many organic ones and nothing worked. This is the only one he does not breakout to. The only concern is that you
need to apply it often as it washes off in the water. After all, I am very happy that something start working. Great for kids, adults, pool & play., September 5, 2011
By A. Rayburn (Aspen, CO)
I love that this sunscreen is less toxic than the Kiss My Face stick, no oxybenzene, and yet it still stays on even the little ones
at the pool. My son is always rubbing his eyes at the pool, of course, and this and the Kiss My Face are the only sunscreens
that stay on despite the rubbing and water. We reapply every hour at the pool and no sunburn yet! I love that I can apply it
and immediately get in the water and it doesn’t float away like cream sunscreens. I like the smell, a bit fruity, and the feel is a
bit sticky at first but then totally unnoticable. A great find if you worry equally about cancer from chemicals and cancer from
the sun. Beyond Coastal

Good Stuff, February 29, 2012
By ZB (Richmond, VA)
This stuff is so light and goes on clear. I hated having to really rub in my sunscreen or else I’d look like a ghost. I still get
burned if I stay out for hours, but it’s not as bad and it’s actually good for my skin and it’s not advisable to stay out for so long
anyway. It has natural ingredients which I love. No Retinyl Palmitate or whatever...
I kinda love this stuff. Easy to tote around in my purse/ backpack/ beach bag. The product doesn’t seem to have a flavor or
taste (which is good). The smell (suntan lotion smell), is minimal, as to not be bothersome when applied to face. Does the Job Very Well, August 30, 2011
By Stella’s Mom
I bought the product after combing through the EWG recommendations for safe sunscreen that does not contain potentially
harmful ingredients. The problem with many of the zinc oxide sunscreens is that they leave a white residue on your skin. The
Natural Clear Sunscreen does not. When you first put it on, it feels thick and heavy but dissolves into your skin. My husband
who is fair skinned and burns easily and me (Asian, able to get very tan) both wore the sunscreen while hiking in Yosemite
for 3 days in full sun for hours. It worked very well. No problems at all. It has a lot of moisturizing ingredients which after a
shower, I could still feel the benefits in that my skin did not feel dry.
It says on the tube, for the outdoor athlete, I hope they come up with a lighter version for outdoor activities like attending
outdoor sporting events, etc.
Great Natural Face Sunscreen, December 9, 2011
By farmgrl (Aspen, CO)
My husband and I both used this sunscreen. You definitely need to rub it in well or you will look whitish if you don’t. The product
protected our faces very well whil on vacation, my husband tends to burn badly and this sunscreen did the tick; no sunburn.
Works great for me!, August 25, 2011
By Katy
I was skeptical about this sunscreen because the size is so small and because it looks like a tin of white greasepaint. BUT, I’ve
been using it for a few weeks now and there is still plenty left. Also, it’s a convenient size to throw in my purse, just in case I’m
out in the sun. I live in Southern CA and exercise outdoors several times a week so I need something sweatproof. I had tried
other natural sunscreens that were not waterproof and when I would sweat, they would run. So it looked like I was sweating
milk. This stuff stays put and I haven’t had it run at all. Also, I have very fair skin and haven’t gotten burned with this at all. It does
make you look a bit paler because it’s so thick and white, but once it’s rubbed in it’s not very noticeable. Overall, I love it.

Beyond Coastal sunscreen, July 23, 2010
By Tami Merrill (Camarillo, CA)
I am fair skinned, cannot stand being burned. We spent a week at the beach I used this everyday and I never burned it
works good. The only complaint I might have is that it is hard to spread. It goes on like a thick white goop and once you get
it spread you are covered, but spreading it can be a challenge. I am an adult and only used it on adults, We didn’t have any
babies around to try it on.

Amazing Sunburn Relief, October 31, 2011
By Megan Parker
While I definitely do not recommend getting burned, if it does happen like it does to me on occasion, I highly recommend this product.
I was in the sun for the first time in a while without reapplying the sunblock, so of course got a pretty bad sunburn. I stumbled on this
aftersun natural moisturizer and was very impressed. It was very soothing and reduced the redness pretty quickly - after a day’s use
pretty much. It also wasn’t sticky like other aftersun products and felt very similar to regular lotion. I have extrememly sensitive skin and
was still able to use this lotion on my face without any blemishes developing like I do with other lotions.

Amazing Stuff, February 22, 2012
By Patrick McMurty
Never thought I’d write a review on a sunscreen. Recently ran a 100Km race in Nicaragua. Was in beating sun and high humidity
all day. I put this on in the morning. It absorbs easily and is not greasy at all. No scent to it and it doesn’t really feel like you have
anything on. Late in the morning I reached in my pocket to reapply and was distressed that I had forgot it. So I was sweating like
crazy, dunking myself with water whenever possible to keep cool, all the time with the sun blaring down. Race took me all day
and I had no trace of a burn anywhere! Pretty incredible - specially since I was coming from winter in a cold climate.

Love it, April 5, 2011
By Rich Wheller
I love this sunblock. It is hard to find an effective all natural sunblock like this one. I have tried many other brands,
and this is the stuff for me. You do need to reapply many times to keep it effective, and it does make your face
stubble look funny, but who cares right? I’d rather have a little ghost face going on than be putting toxic chemicals
on my face. Yay for Beyond Coastal! Oh yeah, it smells good too. Makes my nose tingle. Natural Kids Sunscreen SPF 30
