MyCHELLE Dermaceuticals Sun Shield SPF 28 Coconut 2 3 Fl Oz - Soothing Reef Safe Sunscreen with Vitamin

Update: 8/14/2025 It's been over a decade and this is still the ONLY sunscreen I use. One thing I wasn't aware of before was that it is REEF SAFE, and I am all for protecting the environment, so that's an added bonus. I don't even bat an eye at the price. A little goes a long way, and the overall value for what you get is worth it. I bought this because I love the smell of coconut and because I've been trying to find a sunscreen for my face that doesn't leave an oily residue and that doesn't burn my eyes. This sunscreen exceeds my expectations. It goes on smooth and creamy, has a light, pleasant fragrance, does not burn my eyes. I accidentally got some a little too close to my mouth and got a taste of it and was surprised to find that it wasn't disgusting like other sunscreens I might have accidentally "tasted" in the past. My husband was very skeptical about its supposed non-oiliness even after I raved about it, but I got him to give it a try and now he loves it, too! I will defininitely be buying this again. Amazon seems to have the best pricing. Go, Amazon! UPDATE: June 2015 I had completely forgotten that I tried this product. I still don't remember trying this product. And yet, here is my honest review, that is no different than the review I was just about to write about this sunscreen. I was traveling two weeks ago and had not remembered to bring sunscreen. I purchased this sunscreen from a grocery store for like, $22 or something like that. I felt confident trying it since I love using MyChelle's Oil-Free Grapefruit Face Lotion. I am blown away, again. Even if I don't remember trying it before, my thoughts after using it exclusively for an all over sunscreen are -- it's worth the money!!!!! Amazing sunblock protection: I didn't get sunburned. I had no breakouts. No stinging in the eyes, no icky chemical sunscreen smell/taste that we normally associate with applying sunscreen. This sunscreen changes the way I see sunscreen. Does not leave any kind of oily film. I will not buy another sunscreen ever again. The tube is on the smaller side for a sunscreen, but the quality is such that a little goes a long way! Read more

I switched to this sunscreen from the John Masters Organics sunscreen which was wonderful, but leaving my face pretty white. I have super-sensitive dry skin and I am picky about only using natural products. I decided to give this sunscreen a try and I love it even more than the John Masters. My mom tried it and said that it left her face feeling dry and tight, but I use argan oil underneath it and haven't felt any dryness with this product. I have also not felt any stinging sensation which I experience with most sunscreens. This sunscreen definitely feels worth the price in quality and performance. Update: This year I received two tubes of this product that were from the same bad batch. They went on very white and were very difficult to rub in. It was still gentle on my sensitive skin and I had loved this product so much in the past that I kept using it despite the difference. Thankfully I just received a tube from a different batch number and it worked like I previously remembered. Also, I now use the whole line of Mychelle products and my face has never looked better. Despite their inconsistencies I'll be sticking with this brand. Update 2015: I haven't had any problems with consistency for the past couple of years. My review is back up to five stars. This sunscreen continues to be the best natural sunscreen I've tried and I always keep an extra tube in hand. Goes on smooth, hydrates without being oily, and disappears into my skin immediately. Of course, great sun protection that has kept my skin tone fair and even. Mychelle rocks! Read more

I've been using MyChelle products since 2006, and I've never had any of their products produce a rash or other problem of any kind. The Solar Defense SPF30 is the best facial sunscreen I've ever used. There is no white film - EVER!! - and is goes on easily. I don't stay out in the sun for very long...only on my daily walks which I take on trails in the woods. But, I use sunscreen because anytime that I'm outdoors, even on cloudy days, those rays are hitting me whether I see the sun or not. The reviewer who showed pictures of the "rash" this sunscreen produced looked more like a sunburn since it was only on exposed skin. If it was a rash, it would have shown up on unexposed skin...I don't know anyone who puts sunscreen on without getting at least a little of it on unexposed skin. One would have to be unbelievably careful to not get even a bit of the sunscreen on unexposed skin or her skin is just extremely sensitive to any product she puts on it. I hope she figures it out, because her review will probably stop some people from trying MyChelle products...and that would be a shame, because their products are clean and effective with a whole line devoted to sensitive skin.
