COPPERTONE SKIN

I do appreciate the fact that Coppertone is putting out some zinc-oxide-based options that are fragrance-free, but the company really needs to work on improving their formulas so that they’re not overly thick or runny, and not so greasy or hard to wash off.

On top of that, both of these sunscreens still leave my oily skin feeling very greasy after an hour or so. However, the annoying thing about the Pure & Simple one is that it’s too runny-it’s pretty messy to apply because it keeps dripping through the cracks of my fingers. I prefer Coppertone Pure & Simple Sunscreen SPF 50 For Face over this product, since it’s easier to rub in.

I’ve tried other Coppertone sunscreens in the past and this one is probably one of my least favorite ones. Hard to describe what the scent of the products is, but it’s not really all that pleasant. Some people might be turned off by the rubbery/oily odor. I like that it’s fragrance free, but it also doesn’t smell great naturally. You’ll need to use some pretty heavy-duty double cleansing or a microfiber cleansing cloth. However, they might have gone overboard, because it’s very difficult to wash off. One good thing about this sunscreen is that it’s extremely sweatproof, which really helps me feel confident in its ability to protect me when I’m exercising outdoors. But I bought a big bottle so I’m pretty much committed to using it up because I don’t want to waste it. It also leaves a noticeable degree of white cast. I’m a regular sunscreen user, but even I feel like it’s a chore to put this one on. Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 reviewĬoppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 has a very waxy, pasty consistency that makes it difficult to apply evenly over your skin. Both sunscreens also contain isopropyl palmitate, which is listed as something to “avoid” on ’s list of comedogenic ingredients. The Pure & Simple one contains extracts like tea (camellia sinensis) leaf extract, giant kelp (macrocystis pyrifera) extract, and sacred lotus (nelumbo nucifera) extract, and lists sodium chloride later (sodium chloride is a thickener, which may explain why this Sport version is thicker, while Coppertone Pure & Simple Sunscreen SPF 50 For Face is almost downright runny.

Inactive ingredients: water, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, isopropyl palmitate, butyloctyl salicylate, ethylhexyl isononanoate, cetyl peg/ppg- 10⁄ 1 dimethicone, propylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane, bis-octyldodecyl dimer dilinoleate/propanediol copolymer, dimethicone, ethylhexyl methoxycrylene, polyester-27, triethoxycaprylylsilane, beeswax, hydroxyacetophenone, sodium chloride, peg-12 dimethicone crosspolymer, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycolĬoppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50’s ingredient list is almost identical to Coppertone Pure & Simple Sunscreen SPF 50 For Face’s. Although it’s a decent sunscreen that will do in a pinch, I think there are better mineral sunscreens out there, so I will probably not repurchase this after I’ve used up the bottle.Ĭoppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion True to its “Sport” claim, this sunscreen offered long-lasting coverage, even when I was sweating bullets (unfortunately, I sweat profusely when I work out). On a recent trip, I bought a bottle of Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 specifically for my outdoor workouts.
