Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For the past few years, my husband has been unable to be in the sun even for a few minutes without setting off an allergic reaction on his neck (or possibly PMLE*) and triggering his rosacea. This would cause severe itching for around a week.
We go to the beach every summer and he loves to be out, but now can't leave the house anymore on weekends during the day. He's tried every conceivable branded product for sensitive skin plus "natural" sunscreens, including those with titanium. Most of these are so full of chemicals, it's no surprise that none helped and many of them made things worse.
As noted, Burt's Bees sunscreen does have a yellowish cast due to the titanium, but the SPF 30 works perfectly and for the first time either prevents an allergic reaction to sun exposure (and sunburn) --or perhaps does not cause one. My husband is now able to be outdoors again during the day for the first time in years.
PS: For women who have skin sensitivities, photoallergies, PMLE or rosacea and who object to the yellowish cast, Natural F/X foundation was designed to cover up rosacea and a touch of that mixed in to the Burt's Bees sunscreen can offset the yellow. It has a titanium sunscreen, too.
* According to Intellihealth, "Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE), which usually appears as an itchy rash on sun-exposed skin, is the second most common sun-related skin problem seen by doctors, after common sunburn. It occurs in an estimated 10% to 15% of the U.S. population, affecting people of all races and ethnic backgrounds."

This 100% natural, non-whitening formula provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and helps keep skin hydrated without using chemical sunscreen actives like octinoxate and oxybenzone. Instead, titanium dioxide, a naturally-occurring mineral creates a micro-fine barrier on your skin to reflect the sun's harmful rays.
