We ordered one bottle of the SPF 30 to try, and we love it! It spreads easily and definitely does protect from the sun. It doesn't leave as much of a white cast to the skin as the other barrier sunscreens we've tried, though it does tned to turn a bit whiter as you sweat, so it shows a bit more at the end of a bike ride than at the beginning. I actually kind of like that in a way, because it makes me feel like it's still "there" and doing something even after a ride of 2-3 hours. I'm just so glad it is easy to spread as it takes long enough to get ready for a bike ride without struggling just to put sunscreen on too!

No affiliation with the company, just a satisfied customer who will be ordering more!

I might have to try this, I like that you get 8 ounces for less than some sell 2 ounces for. Out of curiosity, do you have a fair complexion by any chance? I used tons of barrier sunscreen last year but wound up with a VERY deep tan - which implies it wasn't quite doing the job. I am also curious about Tates...
