“It felt like nothing on my skin,” a user raved. Another said: “I am constantly looking for an excellent sunscreen that works, feels good on and does not sting my eyes, and the search stops here — I love this and will continue to purchase it.” Note: It’s an emulsion formula, so it needs to be shaken well before each application.
