“i tried the new sun creams becuase there is a lot of noise around sun creams and that several are not very good for your skin and what they contain are really bad for peoples health. My reason for rating the product is not based on its health beefits it is purely on appolicaiton and spreadability in whcih it fails badly. It reminded me of total block in that it leaves a white coating on your skin that lasted for more than 3 hours which was my morning sun bathing session. I would try to rub it in over the hours with natural swet but it does not rub in whch is a shame.”
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback.
We are sorry to hear that the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator has not worked well for you in terms of application. We do understand that the texture of natural formulas can feel different to conventional sun creams. Warming the cream between your palms before applying and using patting motions rather than rubbing can help significantly with absorption. Applying to cool dry skin before heading out into the sun rather than in the heat also makes a real difference.
If you would like to try a lighter alternative from our range, please do reach out to our customer care team at organic@greenpeople.co.uk and they will be happy to help find something that suits you better.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We are really pleased to hear that the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator is working so well for your sensitive skin. Getting a formula that protects effectively without any greasiness or irritation and smells delightful too is exactly what we set out to achieve and we are really glad it is delivering all of that for you.

Hi Diane,
Thank you so much for your brilliant review!
No prickly heat at all when using the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator is such a great result. Prickly heat is so often caused by petrochemicals, ethyl alcohol and pore-clogging ingredients found in conventional sun creams, which is exactly why our clean formula makes such a difference for so many people.

“I love this Suncream. Seems to get a darker tan a few days after returning from Holiday. I find I don't burn using it. A bit hard to rub in but nice moisturising once done. Use nothing else now I've found it.”
Hi Derek,
Thank you so much for your brilliant review!
A great tan, no burning and a lovely moisturising finish from the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator is exactly the combination we hoped for. The tan continuing to develop for a few days after returning home is completely normal as the tan accelerating actives in the formula keep working in the days following sun exposure.
On the rub in, patting the cream into the skin rather than rubbing and applying to clean dry skin before heading out can really help with absorption.
Use nothing else now you have found it is the best thing we could hear!

“tried this for three days on holiday it was not good it peeled after a few hours does not sink in very well and no sign of a tan being accelerated i expected so much more very disappointing and it was very expensive, I won’t be buying again.”
Hi Ray,
Thank you for your honest feedback and we are genuinely sorry to hear that the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator has not delivered the experience you were hoping for.
On the absorption, it is worth knowing that our sun creams are built as skin first products because we genuinely believe protection and nourishment should go hand in hand. This means the formula is richer and more moisturising than conventional sun creams, which can feel different if you are used to thinner formulas. Patting the cream into the skin rather than rubbing, and applying to clean dry skin before heading out, can make a real difference to how it absorbs.
On the tan acceleration, the formula works by enhancing your skin's natural tanning response rather than delivering instant colour, so results can vary depending on skin type and sun exposure.
We completely understand the disappointment given the price and we would encourage you to reach out to our customer care team at organic@greenpeople.co.uk and they will be happy to help.

“I purchased a 15 and 30 cream. Both were lightweight, but did take some effort rubbing in. Once rubbed in didnt even feel like had cream on. Noticed no pore blockages as did sweat through the cream. I personally purchased for help with prickly heat, unfortunately after 3 days ... I got prickly heat, but i feel that was due to the heat (of course) not the cream. As a cream I would 100% recommend, to prevent prickly heat, maybe not!? Wonder if there even is a cream to stop prickly heat especially if in a really hot country!?”
Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for your really honest and thoughtful review!
We love that you noticed sweating through the cream rather than it blocking your pores. That is actually a really good sign that the formula is not interfering with your skin's natural processes, which is one of the key reasons our creams tend to work well for prickly heat sufferers.
You make a really interesting point about extreme heat. Prickly heat can be triggered by a combination of factors and in very high temperatures even the cleanest formula may not be enough on its own. Our Scent Free Sun Cream range tends to get the best feedback from prickly heat sufferers as it avoids petrochemicals, ethyl alcohol and pore-clogging ingredients which are the most common triggers.
As a sun cream though, it sounds like it really delivered and we are glad you would recommend it!

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
No sunburn and a healthy glow is the perfect result from the Edelweiss Sun Cream with Tan Accelerator! The tan accelerator helps build a natural looking colour while the SPF does its job, so you really do get the best of both. We are really pleased it worked so well for your son!
