MANDA - Reef Safe Sunscreen - Made of Thanaka, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide & Organic Ingredients - SPF 50 - Travel Size, Waterproof Sunscreen Paste - Applies Thick - 40g

I surf 3 days a week and this product besides is being incredible lasted me 2 years. I use this every time I surf on my nose, u see eyes and cheeks, and lips. Phenomenal product I’ve never gotten burnt 1 time. Organic, clean and safe for the environment. I highly recommend!

Reef safe and human safe! YAY! It shouldn’t be this hard to find sunscreen without harmful chemicals. Manda is thick, creamy, and easily applied. It does harden with cold temperatures and can be more difficult to get full coverage. But fully protects my face from the sun! I love the mirror in the inside of the lid! It’s so helpful. Manda’s tent is also a nice change from the typical white zinc face sticks that are not always non-nano and come in plastic tubes..

I'm 40 years old and super careful with sun exposure since I suffer from melasma which is extremely easily triggered by sunlight, and also very difficult to treat. I also happen to surf. I've tried all types of sunscreens and sunblocks over the years- before this, the best option during surfing was Zinka, a physical barrier which usually (but not always) stayed on during surf, however made me break out and also felt sticky. I am so glad I tried this product however, because it is the best, and it is the only sunblock I will be using from now on.This product goes on and STAYS on- after 2-3 hours of getting my face pounded by waves, I would come out, look in the mirror and it would still be on. I can't promise that you won't get ANY sun exposure with this because my skin did get darker and my freckles did get darker too (although they are fading along with my tan) but I only wore this product while surfing, and not at other times. However, I took a before my trip and after my trip picture of my freckles and after 3 weeks of daily surfing I did not get ONE new freckle or sunspot.Pros:PROTECTS and LASTS (2-3 hours in waves)SKIN SAFE (no breakouts, no clogged pores)GOES ON DRY (no greasy feeling, no hair flying into your face and getting coated in product)SMELLS GOOD (no harsh chemicals)MESS FREE containerCons:PriceyGoes on white/chalky ( i like this because I know it's still on)May be a little hard to apply (you need to gently heat it in your fingers first) but also why it stays on so wellIf you need serious physical protection for your face I highly recommend this product.

The container is cute and compact which is great for travel. If too hot, the container may swell. To prevent swelling keep it in the shade when not in use. Manda is solid until warmed then it takes the paste consistency. There is a slight white cast when applied, but less than most sunscreens on the market. A little bit of Manda goes a long way so the small size is not as big an issue.

The paste consistency is tricky to manage (and I live in the Caribbean) because it’s not easy to apply but it does stay on which is good. But the smell of cinnamon is so strong, I don’t like it at all so I didn’t end up using it which is a shame because the packaging & mirror is great.

I bought this product to try on my lips, mainly my lower lip. When it gets sunburnt, it blisters severely and takes almost 2 weeks to heal. It is VERY painful. This product works like a miracle on my lip! As long as I am diligent using it and applying it, it keeps my lip 100% safe. Sure, after awhile it gets tacky, since it's on my lips and it wears off, so I have to smooth it out and apply more. The mirror is very handy. I have only used this on my lips and the tip of my nose. It would be good under the eyes, too. Other than that, it is too thick and hard to spread if needed for a large area. But for my needs, it has been the only thing that works!!

I’m a little disappointed with the size (smaller than picture leads you to believe. That said, I love this sunscreen. It has a nice scent, easy to apply (a little goes a long way) and a decent price (compared to other reef safe brands).I’m going bald so I use this on the peanut to avoid burning the brain. It’s not goopy and doesn’t cause rashing (allergic reaction). It stays on when in the water or sweating but washes off clean with soap and water. This is my go-to sunscreen for face and scalp. The bamboo container is convenient and the sunscreen itself is a paste. Application is simple and there’s no greasy feeling. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Incredibly dissapointed. Its like trying to rub hard wax onto your skin even after trying to melt. Doesnt soften up on skin either. You also get sooooi little product for the price. I will never be purchasing this product again. Worst I have ever tried and I had big hopes
