If you are a high-performance athlete or spend much time outside, this sunscreen is for you. This sunscreen lives up to its broadspectrum protection and water-resistant 80-minute promise, but after the allotted time, reapply.
The sunscreen has a non-greasy application. The texture is on the lighter side, especially for a zinc oxide-based sunscreen. Application is effortless due to its silkiness and smooth ingredients. This sunscreen has a citrus and berry smell from the bottle.
Thinksport Clear Zinc sunscreen’s name may be slightly misleading as “clear” is a marketing ploy. The zinc in this sunscreen is no different from other zinc sunscreens. But there is a minimal white cast if any at all.
We recommend this sunscreen for outdoor athletes, any skin type, and all ages. Thinksport is a reef-safe, environmentally friendly sunscreen that is safe to use daily. The $15 price point is well-suited for the product’s potential and the amount supplied.

Things we like:
- Environmentally friendly company and product
- Basically no white cast (rubs in well)
- Contains moisturizing properties
- Relatively reasonable price point for the quality of the product
- It comes in different sizes and SPFs
Things we don't like:
- “Clear Zinc” labeling may be misleading because it seems the same as normal zinc oxide
- If you rub too much on, you will get a white cast
- Strong citrusy fragrance is a con if you’re not into that
Take a moment to look at this.
