Review: SunEssence Sunscreen

What They Say: "This Nourishing formula with hand picked aromatherapy scents is gentle enough to be used everyday. This technically advanced formula contains micronized Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, Mica, Melanin, and Sunflower oil (which has natural suncreen protective properties) in combination with chemical sunscreens, we are able to obtain broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection while using less of the chemical suncreens (which can be irritating at higher SPF levels). Natural extracts of Ginko Biloba, Ginseng, Centinella, Chaparral, Mimosa, Green Tea, Meadowsweet, Bilberry, and Echinacea, along with Aloe, Allantoin (Comfrey) and Bisabolol(chamomile), further minimize any potential irritation and soothe and moisturize skin. The Antioxidant vitamins A, E, C, and Beta-Carotene act as free radical scavengers and bolster the skins immune defense systems."

Jen's Experience: I wasn't sure when I got this if it was for my face or body. I finally decided it was for the body, but I have to say, I used it on my face for a week and found it to be totally luxe for my dry, sensitive skin. Although it has a pretty strong fragrance, it didn't irritate skin on my face or body. As far as the fragrances go, I've tried all three flavors: Pink Parfait, a mixture of fruits and musk, Summer Sherbet, a cucumber melon scent, and Tropical Honey, a vanilla-based fragrance, and I have to say, the Summer Sherbet is my favorite. All of the fragrances linger for quite a while, and that one seems to conflict least with my perfumes. For those looking for a nice, scented moisturizer that just happens to also be a pretty stout moisturizer, this is an excellent choice.
