Sunscreen Sunblock Review: Pratima Neem Rose Sunscreen 30 SPF Sunblock
Ingredients: ionized water, non-nano micronized zinc oxide 18.6%, organic extracts of neem, brahmi, shatavari, licorice, wheat germ oil, vitamin e, lecithin, organic essential oil of rose, xanthan gum.
I like this product, but I can only use it on certain areas (see pros and cons below). This sunscreen sunblock is available only via Pratima’s website, so order with caution. I ordered two canisters, and I will finish them since it’s a natural product that I can use on my body. I now use it primarily on my neck, eyes, above my lip, and chest.
PROS:
- Physical, not chemical-based
- Natural-based product (although I do not like the recent addition of wheat germ oil)
- No preservatives
- Scent is pleasant
- Moisturizing: seems to plump up my skin temporarily, so I’ve been wearing it above my lip and on my eyes lately
- Does not sting or irritate my skin
CONS:
- Very oily, runny consistency
- Difficult to diminish shine with powder because it has a luminous quality
- Price for shipping is high, and it's difficult to return
- Available only online
- Causes breakouts but only on my trouble area (chin)
Could not find a rating for this product on EWG’s website. Also note that some reviews online cite less-than-expected sun protection, but I haven’t experienced that since I wear hats, sunglasses, etc., when I'm outside.
