      Testimonials

      “My dermatologist recommended Solbar Shield and it is wonderful.” “I know that I won’t get burned when I use Solbar Shield.” “I am sold. Solbar Shield really works.” “I spend a lot of time outdoors, and this product does a great job of preventing my skin from being burned.” “This sunscreen provides excellent protection from the sun. We live on an island near the equator so the sun is extremely strong. I will only use this sunscreen to prevent burns.” “My husband is an ironworker so is always outside and Solbar Shield SPF 40 keeps him from getting sunburned. It does not make him feel greasy and it doesn't run down into his eyes as some do.” "I've been using this product regularly on myself and my young children. It doesn't run into or burn eyes. As a contact lens wearer that is important to me. And it lasts a long time, especially in the water.” “Goes on smoothly, disappears into the skin, and not overly greasy. This is the first one that has protected my skin and not given me a rash.”

      Small amount goes far

      it feels creamy, not heavy or greasy, quickly absorbed, and a small amount goes far. I actually like it better than Neutrogens products.

      No pale face

      Best sunscreen I have ever used. Creamy and spreads evenly. Does not leave my face looking pale.

      soothing and really works!

      I had mild rosacea for years, and chemical sunscreens irritated my skin. I started using this mineral sunscreen and not only did it heal my skin barrier, it holds in moisture, and my skin is literally so soft and perfect now. After years of irritated skin, it is amazing to have healed, healthy, beautiful skin again.

      Solbar Shield SPF40 does the job, has no toxins, and does not stain.

      I was using Nuetrogena 100. Neutrogena would get on the interior of rental cars and once I was charged an extra $150 for cleaning. In my research to find a less messy sun block I discovered that many, including Neutrogena, contain toxic ingredients and do NOT contain good sun blocking ingredients. Apparently the two good ingredients are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide (which are absent in Neutrogena). Also I discovered that high SPF is a hype; SPF above 50 really has no meaning, so an SPF of 100 is nonsense. I chose Solbar Shield Sunscreen SPF 40 because it has the two needed ingredients and has no toxins, AND it does not cause the staining problem that Neutrogena did! Note added later: the only negative thing, and there is a work around, is the container. The design makes it difficult to dispense the lotion as there as more and more is used. The work around is: 1. When it becomes difficult to squeeze the lotion out take the cap off and tap it repeatedly against your palm of your hand until the desired amount comes out. 2. When 1. above no longer works cut the container in half with a box cutter. There will be a lot of lotion still left in either half of the container which can be extracted with your finger. I used to throw it out after 1. and wasted what was left.
