When first opened this bottle of sunscreen acted rather like a bottle of mustard might, liquid leaking out before the soft, creamy-chalky looking solids. There should be something on the label stating to shake it up before use. After a quick re-cap and shaking, the product came out more evenly. The amount of sunscreen dispensed with each squeeze of the bottle is easy to control. The product has a subtle natural odor, vaguely reminiscent of the beach. A little bit of this product goes a long way; at first it looks as though you're covering your body in something that looks like chalk but feels like a pleasant skin cream. Once you've distributed a thin coating of this natural sunscreen over your skin, however, it soaks in within a minute or two. First it leaves a faint milky ghost of color, then it disappears completely. Best of all, there's no slimy or slippery after-effect as with many chemical sunscreens.
