Testing notes:

I was honestly very surprised at the performance of this sunscreen formula. When I saw that the company catered to being more environmentally conscious – using recycled plastic for its packaging and pine rosin for its water resistance, I was very skeptical. I feel as though most companies that try to do this use the environmentally conscious bit to distract from a formula which is weak in UV protection. Thankfully, this was not the case with this product.
