Comments about Nature's Gate Mineral Sportblock SPF 20, 4 fl oz:
I know it's the common problem for a physical sunscreen not to rub in easily and leaves your skin sort of white...other than that, this product doesn't smell too well.... though it won't give me any skin allergy.

Comments about Nature's Gate Mineral Sportblock SPF 20, 4 fl oz:
I'm allergic to avobenzone and Oxybenzone which is very common in most sunscreens. Any product with the chemical with benz in it I avoid or get hives.
I'm left with zinc based products for sunscreen to protect my skin. They're all hard to rub in and leave a weird white cast to your skin and clothes. It's very frustrating.
This is the best one I've tried so far. I haven't tried it on a hot sunny day at the beach yet, but so far I'm impressed.

It gave my medium-toned skin a very white, streaky cast. Also, it ran immediately and rubbed off onto every non-white piece of clothing near me. No WAY will I repurchase this.

Comments about Nature's Gate Mineral Sportblock SPF 20, 4 fl oz:
I followed the directions. The sunscreen is visible if you have brown skin! I looked like I'd jumped into a bowl of flour. And it was running off and make me streaky during my short 10 minute walk to the pool - so not even sweatproof! No wonder the other person's kids got so sunburned! Don't waste our money on this one!

Comments about Nature's Gate Mineral Sportblock SPF 20, 4 fl oz:
I purchased this sunblock for my young kids. I liked the fact that it was chemical free but after a morning at the pool, it left my kids very sunburned. Use caution with this product. I followed all instructions (applied 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and reapplied every hour). My kids have never been so burned.
Apply liberally and evenly 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours or after towel drying, swimming, or perspiring. Children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor
