Looking for a sunscreen that will be effective throughout my kids' entire school day (about 8 hours). Will this last that long?

very hard to spread. does not really go on clear. but it would last. I recommend looking into "Bullfrog" brand. lasts for many hours, actually goes on clear, and easy to apply.

8 hrs is pretty long for any sunscreen. This Zinka works very well and goes on clear so my kids do use before school. We live in Hawaii, lots of sun, however I would say it should be reapplied after 5-6 hrs.

This Zinka provides excellent coverage. I use it with one application all day. Depending on your child's level of activity (& perspiration), they may require a second application after about 5 hours.

Not sure about 8 hours .... the label says (80 minutes). It may be referring to pool time b/c the label also says, "water resistant".

I've been putting it on my face for months... no problem. It's thick & white though... so don't expect it to go on clear. This the REAL DEAL sunscreen. I'm an avid fisherman.

I use this product everyday. I use probably between 1-2 teaspoons on my face, neck and hands. I do put it under my eyes but not on my eyelids. I always reapply if I'm going to the pool or beach or working out outside. This is a fantastic product. It is so smooth and silky and definitely not greasy like typical sunscreens. You will love it. I am very fair, and I used this product religiously in Bora Bora last summer and I did not burn at all.

This formula is made to be rinsed off in 1-3 hrs depending on how dark they want to be. Use a different formula if you want to leave it on longer :)

Absolutely, it the most nontoxic waterproof sunblock I have found. Other "children's" sunblocks, especially Neutrogena, Trader Joe's, coppertone, etc, are all very toxic. If you go to EWG.org and look for their "Skin Deep" database, you can look up products and it will list the ingredients and their toxicity. I check that website before I buy any skin are product. :)

Yes, this was specifically recommended for me by my dermatologist (I don't purchase it through them) and I would say it is the only face "make up" with an SPF of 45 that has NEVER caused irritation or itching. Even wearing it in hot and sweaty situations, I have actually reapplied it as a Sunscreen, with no reaction. I love this line, and would recommended it to anyone, with only the exception of those looking for heavy coverage. My daughter has typical stress/teen acne issues, and uses this with a cover up stick when necessary.

Hi Rachel. While I hardly ever wear make-up in the summer I can tell you that this sunscreen absorbs great. Just a bit thicker than the moisturizer I use on my face every day. It goes on very easily and takes very little time to dry. No white cast at all. I haven't tried Burnout Kids but I have tried Babo. That one left us with slightly pink skin. My only complaint about thinkbaby is that with my whole family using it, we go through it quite quickly. I wish they offered a larger size.

I think it works well on kids AND adults. My whole family has pretty much maintained our pale skin colors all summer! Just make sure you reapply as directed. The one time we got a little pinkness on our cheeks was when I lost track of time and reapplied much later than I should have.

Yes, I use this instead of the baby sunscreens - but only the Sensitive. It is one of the few that don't give my daughter a rash.

I used it last summer and it did well. Of course one should reapply any sunscreen every 90 minutes, which I did.

I just read the other response to your inquiry and feel compelled to add that this is very good product when used as directed. I use it on my children every summer and for extended vacations in the Caribbean every winter. It must be applied at least a half hour before sun exposure and reapplied regularly.

Hi Glen, our natural sunscreens are the equivalent to SPF 30. We advise you to apply liberally 20 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun, then re-apply every 2 hours, or more often after swimming, excessive sweating, or toweling.

I use premier Dead Sea facial serum with vitamin e and d as base coat and then apply cream. And yes, it lasts all day.

I don't think this offers as much protection as it claims. I apply actual sunscreen and then apply the powder after a couple of hours for continued protection. I certainly wouldn't rely solely on it.

It offers a 4 hour protection, but I would recommend to use a waterproof sunscreen if you plan to go to the beach.

I use Elta sunscreen. I believe it is SPF 47 but would need to double check. I only use this brand on myself and kids. It's the best, in my opinion. I hope this helps.

I made some sunscreen for my daughter, using coconut oil...and 3 scoops of Zinc powder....and it wound up being SPF35 so yes. It's 10spf...maybe even a bit more...but not much
