a godsend for sensitive skin,
one of the hardest products for me to use is sunscreen, which isn’t great because I have extremely pale skin. my skin is very sensitive to silicones, mineral oil, and chemical sunscreen (even euro brands). physical blocks have their own set of problems; most are greasy and/or have a white cast and a gritty feel. This stuff is great though. the ingredients are all natural, and it uses a very good form of micronized zinc so there is no white cast or gritty feel. however, this is not a moisturizer per se. I suppose if you have oily skin you could use this as a moisturizer, but barring that you will need to layer it over a moisturizer. This is a sunscreen only for me. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started wearing this every, and for once it’s nice to be able to go outside for 10 minutes without getting burned! this is also a great base for mineral makeup. I’m getting ready to purchase my second jar of this and just couldn’t be happier.

|Too Much Irony– Too Little Product,
I have very, very sensitive skin, and I get hives with sun exposure. I learned about this product about a year ago on the Environmental Working Group website. It was rated as being pure and not containing many of the bad-for-you chemicals found in other sunscreen products. I purchased the product and was thrilled. It was not messy, or greasy and it kept me from having sun-related outbreaks. I didn’t much like the plastic packaging though. It was bulky and could not be recycled, so when I saw that the packaging had been changed to glass, my initial thought was “good” and I purchased some as usual.
When I looked at the package though, I realized that I was being charged the same for 1.7 ounces of product as I had formerly been charged for 2 ounces. That caught my attention, so I read the package, which featured a testimonial from the founder of Devita who stated that she had major skin problems herself, and had created Devita products because she couldn’t find affordable products that were pure. Since I had just been charged a fairly hefty sum for .3 ounces less of product, this struck me as rather ironic. Eventually, I found that not only did the container hold less, but the pump device would not pump out all of the product when the bottle was getting empty. Over time I have become fairly good at getting out the dregs of products, but this container has me stymied. The moisturizer is so thick that it does not fall down to the cap end, even if you shake it or leave the bottle upside down for long periods of time. The bottle is so long and narrow that you cannot dig out the last 1/5 of the bottle. So, I figure that I am really getting about 1.5 ounces of product for the same price as the former 2 ounces.
My guess is that this company has profited by the good rating that it got from the Environmental Working Group, so now it feels that customers who like the product will pay whatever they are charged. I continue to like the product, but I will be seriously searching for a replacement.
