Where to buy
This award-winning zinc oxide mineral sunscreen is reef-safe, high-quality, and worth every penny. And with the purchase, Thrive helps restore farmlands in Costa Rica.
The inactive ingredients include antioxidant properties that will revitalize your skin. But, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to steer clear.
The organic ingredients do make for a greasy application and leave a shine on the skin. BodyShield’s sunscreen has a lightweight consistency, making a little go a long way. There is next to no white cast.
The smell is tangy and slightly woodsy. However, after applying, the scent becomes less noticeable and more enjoyable.
The waterproofing ingredient in the BodyShield is the Larch tree. However, after about an hour, you may notice it is time to reapply. This is not our top preferred waterproof sunscreen.
We recommend this to adults wanting anti-aging properties and a scented sunscreen. Thrive’s BodySheild is more of a beach lounging sunscreen and not a full-proof 80-minute water-resistant ocean swimming lotion.
