Snowberry Sun Protection - 2 types: Everyday SPF 15 and Active Outdoor SPF 30 - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I have two sun protection products from the brand Snowberry to share with you in this post. The Everyday Broad Spectrum Medium Sun Protection SPF 15 and the Active Outdoor Broad Spectrum High Sun Protection SPF 30. Both products have a nice, light pleasant (non-sunscreen) smell and leave behind no white residue. They're a natural choice to sun protection. Check out my full review on each version below, including all the product info, after each set of pics!

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Everyday SPF 15 is completely natural, with that deliciously light, clear texture that you will love on your skin. And Everyday SPF 15 is a certified broad spectrum sun protection product, which means that you are being protected against both UVB and UVA light. Many dermatologists warm against moisturizers with added SPF because the product is generally not used in sufficient quantity to provide even minimal protection, and may not be certified to sun care standards.

According to dermatologists, SPF 15, probably applied will give much better protection than SPF 50 that is not properly applied. Research also shows that the higher SPF rating, the less product most people use. You may not know that SPF 15 provides about 93% protection against UVB and surprisingly SPF 30 provides just 4% more. So, it is more in how you use your product than its rating that is important! You should also know that SPF 15 means you have protection against UVB only (the rays that cause sunburn) for 15x the burn time if you weren't wearing a sun product. Because SPF is not a measure of protection against the more dangerous UVA light, Snowberry's Everyday SPF 15 is also certified under the internationally recognized Boots Star system to provide good UVA protection.

Apply Everyday SPF 15 liberally in the morning 20 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply regularly (about every 2 hours), especially when outdoors.

This is a really nice sunscreen. It has a nice, light scent (that isn't your typical sunscreen scent) and it absorbs into skin nicely. It does feel a bit sticky after you first apply it, but it will absorb into your skin and you won't feel that stickiness after several minutes. There is no white residue after applying either! Your skin will feel soft too!

I will say it is a bit pricey for sun protection, especially if you typically buy something from the drugstore, but it is a quality product and a natural product.

Overall, I really liked this sunscreen and would recommend if you're looking for a natural alternative. If you plan to be outdoors a lot, you may want to try their Active Outdoor version, which has SPF 30.

Cost/Availability: $38.00 (1.7 oz full size). Available at Dermstore, and everywhere else Snowberry products are sold. Click here to find a retailer near you.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Snowberry Active Outdoor Broad Spectrum High Sun Protection SPF 30 protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays to keep your skin healthy and burn-free. The lightweight, chemical-free formula features seaweed and aloe vera extracts to nourish for a calm, comfortable fee.

Apply Active Outdoor SPF 30 liberally in the morning, 20 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply regularly (about every 2 hours), especially when outdoors.

Just like their Everyday SPF 15 version, this has an nice light scent (not your typical sunscreen smell), and goes on nicely - absorbing into skin. It is slightly thicker than the SPF 15, but not that much so. I did find my skin was a bit sticky after I first applied it but after it has a chance to sink into your skin that sticky feeling will go away. No white residue left behind!

I will say it is a bit pricey for sun protection, especially if you typically buy something from the drugstore, but it is a quality product and a natural product.

This is a great natural sunscreen that I'd recommend checking out!
