Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+ Review

I love this sunscreen, is thick but You don’t end up all white like some other natural sunscreens and is easy to spread aswell.

I've used another Oasis sunscreen and also didn't like it much. I actually hate wearing sunscreen as the feeling of it on my skin is just awful.

For me this was just too thick and sat weird on my skin. I had so much trouble rubbing it in. My skin felt clogged and like it couldn't breath.

I ended up gifting this to a friend but she had the same issue. Sorry Oasis I don't like your sunscreen.

I’ve purchased this many times over the last ten years as my skin is very reactive it’s hard to find a sunscreen that is gentle enough but still looks and feels good once applied. I think this is quite a smart and balanced formulation, the two actives being physical + chemical (zinc and octinoxate) allows far less white cast and heaviness than a fully physical block, yet none of the greasiness and stinging that you’d get from a chemical formulation.

This comes in a great little tube with a firm-click flip-top lid. I love this sort of packaging, as it's hygienic and air-tight, and also really handy for chucking into my bag when I'm in a rush. The product itself is quite a thick cream, but it's surprisingly easy to spread on the skin, and melts in quickly to a clean, non-greasy finish. It does leave a very faint white cast on the skin, but as I'm a really pale girl anyway, it actually evens out my skin making me look a bit more 'finished', so I like it. I really love that it has all these skin-nourishing ingredients in it, that it's free of nasty chemicals, cruelty-free, and born and bred in NZ! It means I feel good about using it as an everyday cream. However, it's not as moisturising as I had expected. I usually wear a moisturiser underneath, and then it works fine, although by the end of the day my skin feels like it needs a good hydration boost. I do have dry skin though, so for someone with oilier skin, this would probably be perfect on its own. I've never had the slightest hint of stinging or irritation from this sunblock, it feels comfortable on, looks natural, isn't too expensive, and protects my delicate, pale skin from our vicious NZ sun. Love it!

This sunscreen goes on like moisturiser - i really like it. However, i need to reapply it often to avoid burning
