“Lovely product with a thick creamy consistency. You can get white residue on application however this quickly absorbs onto the skin. A family member has an allergy rash from the sun, however there was no sign of it with this sunscreen. Will definitely be my new go to.”
Hi Maria,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We are really pleased to hear that the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 has become your new go-to, and especially that it has made such a difference for your family member who usually suffers with an allergy rash. That is genuinely one of the most meaningful results we could hear.
On the initial white cast - you are right that it does appear briefly on application, but as you discovered it absorbs quickly into the skin. Warming the cream between your fingers and patting it in rather than rubbing can help speed that up if you find it useful.
Here is to many rash-free sunny days for the whole family!

“Very hard to rub into skin. Cream sits on top of skin which makes you sweat profusely. This creates the cream pile in places on skin.
Stained all our clothing yellow. Wouldn’t buy again.”
Hi,
Thank you for your honest feedback and we are sorry to hear that the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 has not worked well for you.
The formula is deliberately richer than many conventional sun creams as we build our SPFs as skin-first products, but we are sorry to hear it felt too heavy in your case. Warming the cream between your fingers and patting rather than rubbing into the skin can help with absorption, though we understand this may not solve the issue if the texture is not right for you.
On the staining, UV filters in sun creams can react with certain clothing fibres and cause yellowing, particularly on lighter fabrics. Allowing the cream to fully absorb before dressing can help reduce this.
We would really encourage you to reach out to our customer care team at organic@greenpeople.co.uk as they may be able to suggest a product from our range that is a better fit for your skin type.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for your review!
We are really pleased to hear that the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 is applying smoothly and easily. The initial greasy feeling is something that can sometimes happen as the nourishing ingredients in our skin-first formula need a moment to fully absorb. Patting the cream into the skin rather than rubbing, and allowing a minute or two before dressing, can help with this.
We hope it continues to work well for you!

“The sun cream is lightweight, easy to apply, and absorbs well without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. Unlike many natural sunscreens, it doesn’t leave a strong white cast and feels comfortable on the skin, even after reapplication. I also appreciate that it’s made with natural and organic ingredients, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin and gives peace of mind when using it regularly.”
Hi Tracy,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
You have put into words exactly what we worked so hard to achieve with the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30. Breaking the stereotype that natural sunscreens have to be heavy, greasy or leave a strong white cast has always been really important to us. There is no reason why clean, organic sun care cannot also feel genuinely comfortable to wear every day.
Knowing that it is also giving you peace of mind with the ingredients is the other half of the equation and equally important to us.

“This sun cream is brilliant. For the first time I could sit in the sun and not suffer from prickly heat. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.”
Hi Vanessa,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
Sitting in the sun without prickly heat for the first time - that is such a significant thing and we are really glad the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 has made that possible for you. Prickly heat is so often triggered by petrochemicals, ethyl alcohol and pore-clogging ingredients that are standard in most sun creams, so keeping our formula free from all of those really does make the difference you have experienced.
Thank you so much for your recommendation!

“I struggle with supermarket suncream and tend not to use them at all so it was lovely to find a marine safe, organic suncream that didn’t feel suffocating or sticky. I’m a redhead and went abroad in peak heat and did not burn once thanks to this. Thank you!”
Hi Emma,
Thank you so much for this brilliant review!
A redhead, abroad in peak heat, not burning once - that is the ultimate test and we are so pleased the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 passed with flying colours!
We also love that the marine-safe credentials matter to you. The conventional chemical UV filters found in most supermarket sun creams have been linked to coral bleaching and damage to marine ecosystems, which is why we have always been so careful about what we put in our formulas. Knowing that you can protect your skin without causing harm to the ocean is something we are really proud of.
Thank you for your generous recommendation and we hope it continues to be your sun care staple!

“Loved this product. Took a little bit of rubbing in but absorbed well. Found that applying in smaller amounts worked better. No burning at all in Greek sunshine of 30 degrees. Fully converted to this, and will continue to use. Thank you!”
Hi Caroline,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We are really pleased the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 delivered so well on your holiday.
One thing worth mentioning - it is really important to apply sun cream generously to ensure you get the full SPF protection stated on the packaging. Using too little can significantly reduce the level of protection your skin receives, so do make sure you are applying enough, especially in strong sunshine!
Fully converted and we look forward to continuing to look after your skin on many more holidays to come!
