Green People Sun Lotion spf 22

We were really lucky on holiday and got the one week of glorious weather in South East England. Unfortunately, Mr London forgot to pack the Kiehl's sunscreen, and Invisible Zinc is too hard to rub into hairy arms and legs (his, not mine.)

I found this Green People sunscreen in an independent health store in Lewes, and I've also seen it in Waitrose. It costs £16-£17 for 200ml. It is easy to rub in and leaves a matte finish. It protects well; we had some quite intensely sunny days with no burning and only very light tanning (I prefer not to tan.) I didn't use this on my face as I'm currently using the Chantecaille spf 30, but Mr London did and said it felt light and non-bothersome. I didn't notice the prickle that I sometimes get when applying a purely chemical screen, but it didn't have then whitening effect of many purely physical screens, so this is a nice balance of chemical and physical screens, with no scent, no parabens and a high quality plant-derived base formula. In short, it's an excellent sunscreen for sensitive skins that find a purely physical sunscreen hard to apply or too whitening.

Ingredients are:

Aloe, herbal infusions of green tea, olive leaf and echinacea, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate (chemical sunscreen), sunflower oil, olive oil, titanium dioxide (physical sunscreen) palm oil, cetearyl glucoside (from coconut), beeswax, glycerol stearate (plant derived), green tea extract, carrot seed oil, edelweiss, avocado oil, myrrh resin, rosemary extract, phenoxyethanol, ethyhexylglycerin, citric acid.
