Solar Goo

I've bought this product online and in stores multiple times. Compared to other zinc oxide based sun blocks, Solar Goo rubs in easily without leaving white residue, its comfortable to wear and its long lasting. Its the sunscreen I've been using to protect my tattoos for the past six years.

But why is it being marketed as a homeopathic sunscreen? Looks like it has something to do with listing Calendula as an active ingredient? (Even though in this case the Caledula is actually present in this product and not diluted away.) Seeing "Homeopathic" on a label usually makes me extremely skeptical of a products efficacy. I would hate for someone to get the impression that this is anything but a really good, really effective mineral sun block with a scientifically proven active ingredient.

Although a bit difficult to spread, I use this every day on my arms and hands. Because of the zinc, it's very soothing. It's moisturizing too, without being real shiny/greasy. There is a very slight, natural scent from the ingredients (not added), but it's quite mild. It does dry mostly clear. If the zinc begins to collect in the crease of your arm, showing a white line, just rub it in lightly. I've tried a ton of sunscreens - both chemical and physical, natural and not. This is the best natural, non-toxic sunscreen I've ever used. When I think of how much product is needed to cover both arms, I'm grateful that I now have a this wonderful product instead of a toxic product or a product that I really don't like. I don't spend lots of time outdoors. If you do, be sure to reapply according to the recommendations provided.

Solar Goo is my favorite natural sunscreen. Works great. Good for me. Good for the ocean.

I am addicted to the lip balms. I have a habit of lip-licking and lip-chewing when nervous, and this stuff is amazing. Keeps my lips soft and healthy (and I love the 3 flavors!). The Green Goo is like a magical cure-all. I use it on my skin for hives (which I get often) and bug bites, rashes, and as a tattoo balm (better than aquaphor). I also used it on my dog's skin - she's a rescue and was burned so badly in spots that her fur will not grow back. Her skin is healed, but very sensitive. It's good for small cuts she gets from running through evergreen shrubs, and bug bites or stings.

I also use the Solar Goo on her and myself when we go on walks, as we're both very sensitive to chemical-based sunblocks and to the sun itself. With how natural the ingredients are, I'm a lot less concerned about accidental ingestion.

My other dog would like to add that she loves trying to lick the citrus lip balm off my face lol smile emoticon

Solar Goo is my favorite sunscreen yet! It's all natural, it feels wonderful and it is environmentally sound.
