Kendra: a few days ago
I love it! It works and my daughter has very sensitive skin and she doesn't react to this product. It is a bit greasy but I rub it on my hands first which makes less messy to apply.
Selina: a few days ago
Love this! I have super fair skin and severe allergic reactions to most chemical sunscreens, so I am delighted to find this product. Protects well and moisturizes too.
Julia: a few days ago
Really happy with this product! Love that it is safe for my little girl, it works really well and it doesn't leave a white residue!

I love green beaver so I hate to leave a bad review but this product truly is awful. I used it for two summers because non toxic, mineral sunscreens were hard to come by so I put up with the greasy, foul smelling lotion. My poor kids, every time they put it on they werent allowed on the furniture or to lean on the walls because it leaves a disgusting slime trail. I'm going to give the Aubrey organics a try. Anything else has GOT to be better. The positive reviewers are using the organic nature of the product to influence their reviews I think.

Been using this on my daughter from 6 months (a year now). Great protection, great coverage. The product is thick and a bit greasy, but if you massage the tube before dispensing and rub in hands before application, the product applies well and the child does not look white or too greasy.
Tracy: about a week ago
I'm always looking for good products not tested on animals and made in Canada. This is one of the good ones. Purchased for myself, also used it last year.
Michelle: about a week ago
It's a little bit oily, but it is eventually absorbed into the skin. I tend to shake my bottles a bit before applying to hopefully help distribute the oils a bit better. My family has medium tanned skin to begin with so it does leave a bit of a white residue on us, but it's not very noticeable.
Amanda: a couple of weeks ago
Great sunscreen, My son's skin isn't left looking white and it rubs in so well. It is a bit greasy but I don't mind and neither does he.
Sarah: a few months ago
This product is great; it's easy to apply and isn't chalky. It's a bit greasy but I'll take that over using a product full of chemicals. We've been using it for a few years now and love it!
laura: a few months ago
This product is great; doesn't leave the white mess and is easy to spread. It is a bit greasy but all in all a fabulous sunscreen.
LL: a few months ago
I love this product, easy to put on, minimal grease and no whitening! Makes it less worrisome to have your baby exposed to sun...highly recommend!
Sonia: a few months ago
excellent product !! non whitening and protects efficiently for hours. so great, we're using it for the 3rd year.
kim: a few months ago
Moisturizes and applies well. Is not white!! A little slippery/greasy but feels nice all the same!
Sophia: a few months ago
I use it for my 11-month-old baby and myself. I like it so far. If I really take the time to rub it in, I don't see any whitening. Also the smell and greasiness level is acceptable for me, as I expect that's the smell/feel of the natural ingredients that it contains. I have the peace of mind that my baby is safe to lick on her hand and fingers with this product.
Louise: a few months ago
this is an awesome sunscreen - other natural ones go on really white, greasy and messy...this one is perfect for kids and we use it for ourselves!
Natalia: a few months ago
I use it for my baby and for myself. Love it! Great, natural protection, not as whitening as the Badger's one.
Zaheera: a few months ago
This is a great sunscreen for my son. It goes on the skin easily, its not messy.
Christine: a few months ago
I love this sunscreen! The main reason being it's non-whitening like it promises. I bought it for my baby but I think I'll be using it with her.
Katia: a few months ago
I've tried other natural sunscreen but this one is the best ever!
It is clear and non-whitening at all, which makes very easy to put on specially on kids.
I didn't find that oily, and I don't care because the most important thing to me is that is natural and safe for my daughter.
I'll definitely buy it again!
Emily: a few months ago
I love this product. It's so easy to put on compared to the other natural ones I've tried (burt's bees and heiko). I will definitely stick to this product from now on. It's a bit pricey, but worth it when you have to apply sunscreen on someone who won't sit still for 5 seconds.
yulia: a few months ago
The best ever! Safe, pure, and works like charm.
Unlike some reviewrs, I love that it contains "cooking oil" as a base (what's safe to eat, should be safe to put on ones skin).
It is clear,non-whitening at all .Which is puzzling to me, given that Zinc Oxide particles are some-what bigger than "nano".
It is greasy, but thin and runny just enough to spread easily and smoothly on baby's skin.
I will not be looking for another brand.
Mom of two: a few months ago
This is my favourite sunscreen - for me and my two children. It is greasy and shiny at first but works great! And I love the smell... very "clean" smelling. Both tubes that I have bought so far also had some granular pieces in it but still will use it again.
Carrie: a few months ago
Compared to other chemical free sunscreens i really like how easy this is to put on, and doesn't leave my kids looking as white as a ghost. They have never had a sunburn with this product. My only complaint is that it is VERY greasy. I literally have to wipe my hands off after applying it, and my kids hair always gets greasy from their faces.
Kim: a few months ago
Yes, its greasy but most of it does go away if you wait a little bit before going out in the heat. It was fine on my daughter and myself. I prefer being a little oily over using other sunscreens with chemicals in it. It protects very well, we werent even a little bit red after being in the sun and thats whats important. I will be buying it again once I finish this one.
Stephanie: a few months ago
A "little greasy" does not begin to describe this product! I had high hopes, assuming that other reviewers were exaggerating the greasiness, and am completely disappointed. In our vacation photos, it looks like I coated my son in baby oil before setting him loose on the beach! Huge let down :( On a positive note, it is effective for sun protection and easier to apply than other physical sunblocks I've tried.
Jennifer: a few months ago
Love this sunscreen for my infant. It does go on a little greasy but is much cleaner then other zinc oxide options.
S: a few months ago
I use this product on my baby and it's extremely greasy! His car seat has oil stains all over it now. I love that it's organic, but would try a different brand next time.
Tricia: a few months ago
So greasy! Very disappointed in this product, considering the price! Goes on greasy and stays that way. I don't even like putting it on myself :(
Natalie: a few months ago
I like that this product is all natural and non whitening. What I REALLY don't like is that it is SUPER greasy and stays that way. Won't be buying it again because of this. My daughter and I went out looking like we took a bath in oil. Not bad for the beach but for everyday wear it's not a good look.,
Jen: about a year ago
Works very well to prevent burns. I love that it contains nothing harmful for them and actually works! Then only negative was that it is greasy and shiny when it first goes on.
Joanne: about a year ago
I bought this sunscreen based on the reviews here but find it much greasier than other all natural sunscreens. I like that it doesn't 'whiten' like others but I'm not sure this is my favourite. I'd probably go back to the other brand before I'd buy this one again.
Melissa: about a year ago
It is oily and it does take a long time to soak in..however it is chemical free, organic, and fragance free...all the things I wanted for my 6 month old.
Amy: about a year ago
Great sunscreen! As some other reviews mention it is a bit greasy, but I have found that a few minutes after rubbing the greasiness dries out a bit. I like that it doesn't whiten like many of the other natural sunscreens too. I will definitely buy this product again.
Alison: about a year ago
Love this product, it goes on very easy. It does take a little while to soak in as it is a bit greasy but works very well on sensitive skin. Love that I can use a natural product on my kids.
Sherri: about a year ago
Pros: Its natural and on the EWG sunscreen list.
Cons: It was a bit greasy and the last tube I purchased had granular bits in it.
Overall a great product.
Rooinooi: about a year ago
Great product!
Although it's marketed as 100% Natural, was not sure about some of the ingredients (Polyhydroxystearic Acid? Huh?) so I had to look them up.
And it does stay a bit greasy, but because of this (and because of the cost - !!) we try to use it sparingly on our child. All in all a much better alternative to other kids sunscreens.
Patricia: about a year ago
I like the non-whitening part and was great for my toddlers sensitive skin. It does take a few minutes to soak in because it is a bit greasy. But it wasn't an issue for us.
I will definately buy again
C: about a year ago
Easy to apply, no white marks, the kids don't mind the smell, and it was recommended by the EWG. So we will buy this again.
We did not like that the product stays tackie feeling for a good 15-30 minutes before it soaks in. But the positives out weigh the negatives.
Andrea: about a year ago
Excellent for my sensitive skin toddler (1.5 yrs old). She has had no issues with reactions. It is not thick or white and it doesn't smell at all. Goes on really smoothly, but is quite greasy. Love this stuff and would not be scared to put it on a smaller baby either. Trust the brand. Way to go, GB!
C: about a year ago
Excellent sunscreen for my toddler with sensitive skin. Excellent protection, no weird rashes like gets from other chemical sunscreens, no whiteness, and no terrible smells (or taste!). It IS greasy... but it's a non-issue with all the benefits!
bensmom: about a year ago
It's a bit greasy and hard to wash off your hands, however that is also what makes it waterproof so it's worth it. The benefits outway the slight greasiness by a long shot. Easy to apply, basically scentless, and works great on me and my toddler!
L: about a year ago
Great, natural product! So mild we even use it on our 3 month old for a bit extra protection during walks in the stroller.
Kelly: about a year ago
I just received the Green Beaver sunscreen and so far I'm happy with the product. I read reviews about how greasy it is so I was a little apprehensive about buying it. I have to say I don't find it any more greasy than regular sunscreen and I found that it does absorb over time. I am excited to have a product that I feel comfortable putting on my 6 month old.
Linda: about a year ago
I definitely like this product, despite the common complaint that it is oily. Seems like such a small price to pay for a safe, effective, fragrance-free sunscreen!
Andrea: about a year ago
Terribly oily! NEVER soaks into the skin so you feel like an oil slick the entire time you are wearing it! Smells strange too. My 3 year old cries when I pull lit out and says, "Not THAT sunscreen!" Too bad because I like the idea of it being chemical free and Canadian. I'll have to continue my hunt for a good one.
Jess: about a year ago
Great product - rubs in easily. My only complaint would be that it is fairly greasy, but after a few minutes that's not an issue.
Juliette: about a year ago
It's nice that this is non-whitening, but it is SO oily. Once I've slathered up my children and myself, there is so much oil on my hands I can barely wash it off. The oil gets on clothes, car seats, even the steering wheel. As much as I want to buy a locally-made, safe product, I won't be buying this again. In fact, I'm sorely tempted to throw out the half-bottle we have left.
Melanie: about a year ago
I ordered this sunscreen after looking everywhere for a baby sunblock with non-chemical blockers. They are extremely hard to find. It seems like a great product, but we've only used it a couple of times as the weather's been awful. Like others, I found it a little greasy, but that's a fair trade-off for all the good that's in it.
Annie-Claude: about a year ago
I am more than impressed with this product and will purchase it again. I used to buy another brand of natural sunscreen lotion but this one is way better as it rubs easily and lives no white marks like other ones. It is the sunscream of choice in our family.
Erin: about a year ago
I love the way this screen doesn't make the kids look like little ghosts! I've started using it as my daily facial moisturizer on sunny days. It's a little greasier than my usual "kiss my face" lotion but it's worth it for the sun protection. I will definitely buy it again.
Emily: about a year ago
I got this sunscreen because of its excellent EWG rating (http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/) and I've got no complaints. It's a tiny bit oily but my 14 month-old with sensitive skin has used it daily with no issues, and I love that I'm not rubbing a bunch of mystery chemicals into his little body!
Celia: about a year ago
This is a great sunscreen. My children love this sunscreen and now my oldest wants to apply her sunscreen herself. The consistency is a bit greasy but that is ok for children and it stays on the skin better and longer, which is what is best for sunscreen protection.
I give this 5 stars. Note to Well.ca: I was not able to put in the star rating as the link was not operational.
Jade: about a year ago
I like the fact that the product is all natural and safe to use on children. However, I found it to be really greasy. My 6 year old told me he "is all shiny" when he has the sunscreen on. I will keep using it on my kids though - it's a small trade-off for a safe product and good sun protection.
hm: about a year ago
i really like this product. the non whitening zinc is amazing, makes using chemical free sunscreen much more convenient.
yes its a little oily, but if you look at the ingredient list none of the oils are comedogenic ones so its not going to cause breakouts. anyone who knows anything about OCM knows that oil isn't the enemy.
i personally think the safety of my children is worth the slight inconvenience of being greasy.
Cynthia: about a year ago
I like that it is non-toxic and non-whitening. It is also effective at protecting them from the sun. I do not like how greasy it is. Even my kids (2 & 4) don't want to wear it because it is too greasy.
Michelle: about a year ago
This product is great- non-toxic, non-whitening and not smelly...love it!
Nicole: about a year ago
I really want to love this product given it's all natural and Canadian made. Unfortunately after a test use on my self I feel reluctant to use it on my baby. It is wayyyyyyyyyy too oily and doesn't set in. The all natural non-whitening concept is great, but the performance falls short. Unless I got a faulty one by chance?
Anna: about a year ago
Rubs in really easily! No chemicals, so safe for everyone - even newborn babies. The active ingredient is the same as the one in diaper cream, so I have no worries. I couldn't find a sunscreen in any local stores that was baby safe, so thank goodness for well.ca.
Jackie: about a year ago
Very happy with this product and that there is a non whitening suncreen for my little daughter that is all natural.
roxan: about a year ago
love love love this product! so nice to finally have a natural sunscreen that is non whitening! Bring on the summer!
Tammy: about a year ago
Using this on my kids and myself. Encourages us to cover-up a little more as it is so expensive and we are outside a lot! I use it on my face, but hope I don't get any breakouts because it is oily.
