Hi Janet,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review!
Prickly heat is so often triggered by petrochemicals, ethyl alcohol and pore-clogging ingredients that are standard in most mainstream sun creams. By removing all of those from our formula and replacing them with clean, natural alternatives, we give reactive skin a genuine chance to stay calm and comfortable in the sun.
Knowing that you are now able to enjoy the sunshine without that misery is exactly the outcome we hoped for and we hope every future sunny day is just as prickly heat free!

“Doesn't feel sticky or gloopy, and there's no nasty smell. Does a great job of protecting me while doing general outdoorsy things (gardening, walking the dog etc)”
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We love that the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 is looking after you through all the important things in life - the gardening, the dog walks and everything in between. Sun protection should not just be for beach holidays; everyday outdoor activities in the UK add up to significant UV exposure over time, and it is brilliant to hear that you are reaching for it as part of your daily outdoor routine.
Non-sticky, no unpleasant smell and genuinely protective. That really is everything a sun cream should be and we are so pleased it is working so well for you!

“I’m 27w pregnant and have just retuned from 12 days in Greece. On holiday I was only using the Scent Free SPF30, and I’m very impressed with how good it was in terms of how well it protected me from sunburn, the way it felt on my skin and how waterproof it is
At first I wasn’t sure the bottle would last the whole holiday but I soon discovered I didn’t need so much lotion per application! The cream does go on quite thick and doesn’t seem to absorb quickly, however, that wasn’t the case! You can spread the cream in quite generously and still have good coverage ☀️
I bought Green People as I’ve been told mineral SPF is best during pregnancy and I have a tendency to get prickly heat on my chest/ back- this did NOT happen. Yay
I’d recommend this cream to people with sensitive skin and consider it to be worth the price because it works and actually last longer than you think (I was reapplying 2-3 times a day!) ⭐️
Added bonus: I have an even, golden tan with no peeling of dehydrated skin, which is always great after a holiday in 27 degrees heat!”
Hi,
Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant and detailed review!
First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy - 27 weeks and 12 days in Greece, you are doing wonderfully! You were absolutely right to look for a cleaner SPF during pregnancy. Our Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 uses a combination of non-nano Zinc Oxide and the new generation of UV filters, which are among the safest and most environmentally responsible available. Completely free from the older chemical filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate that are linked to hormone disruption.
Knowing that you came back with no sunburn, no prickly heat on your chest and back, a beautiful even golden tan and well-hydrated skin after 27 degrees in Greece is honestly one of the most brilliant real-world testimonials we could ever ask for.
Thank you so much for your recommendation and we hope the rest of your pregnancy is wonderful!

Hi Gillian,
Not being able to wear sun cream for years because of hives and itching is such a miserable situation to be in, particularly when protection from the sun is so important. Knowing that you can now sit in the sun comfortably and safely is exactly the kind of outcome that makes everything we do worthwhile.
Reactions like yours are so often caused by the synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals that are standard in most sun creams. Removing all of those and formulating purely with gentle, clean ingredients is at the heart of our Scent Free range, and knowing that it has made such a life-changing difference for you is genuinely one of the most rewarding things we could ever hear.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and we hope you enjoy many, many more sunny days ahead!

Hi Lynn,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
Being the only product that helps with your prickly heat is the highest possible endorsement and we are so grateful to hear it.
Our Scent Free formula avoids all of those problematic ingredients in mainstream sun cream, which is why so many prickly heat sufferers find such a dramatic difference when they make the switch.
We hope you continue to enjoy every sunny day without worry!

Hi Kathryn,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Pleasant to use and effective, with no nasty chemicals. That is everything a sun cream should be and so rarely is.
We are really glad you are happy and we hope it continues to look after your skin beautifully!

“Finley a sun cream that actually protects you and prevents prickly heat , now I can not worry being out in the sun and enjoy my holidays even more thanks Green people”
Hi Stephen,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
Knowing that you can finally enjoy your holidays without the worry of prickly heat is exactly why we do what we do. Prickly heat can be truly miserable, especially when all you want to do is relax and enjoy the sunshine, and it is so rewarding to hear that our sun cream has given you that freedom back.
Prickly heat is often triggered by the chemical UV filters found in mainstream sun creams rather than the sun itself, which is why switching to a cleaner formula can make such a dramatic difference. We are really glad that ours has worked so well for you!
Here is to many more worry-free sunny days ahead!

Hi Barbara,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and that last line genuinely made us smile!
You are absolutely right to feel good about it. Conventional chemical UV filters have been linked to coral bleaching and damage to marine ecosystems, which is why we have always been so deliberate about the ingredients we choose. Great sun protection should not come at the cost of the environment, and knowing that you share that belief means a great deal to us.
We hope you continue to enjoy the protection and the peace of mind in equal measure!
