“I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Light Eruption (PMLE), and had some really bad reactions to the sun on previous holidays and had been looking for a sun screen that would help me enjoy my sunshine holidays safely.
I stumbled across Green People as part of my searching for a solution and decided to take a chance with another company that suggested it could help me with my condition. I was initially sceptical.
But ... I couldn't be happier, as I write this review I am lying on a sun lounger with Green People's sun screen liberally applied whilst holidaying in beautiful Montenegro and I have no sign of a rash or reaction.
The cream absorbs quickly, doesn't feel greasy and best of all does what it claims to. What more could a person want?
I'll be keeping the Green People's website bookmarked for future sunny adventures.”
Hi Rob,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review all the way from Montenegro!
We are really moved to hear that after such bad reactions on previous holidays the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 has finally let you enjoy the sunshine safely. PMLE can be so debilitating and we know how much it takes to trust a new product after repeated disappointments. We are really glad you took that chance on us.
Enjoy every moment on that sun lounger and we hope to be part of many more sunny adventures!

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
Protection, moisture and no sensitivity is exactly the combination we set out to achieve with the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30. A sun cream that genuinely nourishes while it protects is so important, particularly for sensitive skin, and it is great to hear it is delivering all of that for you.

“I wanted to make a change from the big brand sunscreens to help the environment and hopefully be better for my skin. Goes on quite chalky and is thick but so far so good!”
Hi Jacqui,
Thank you so much for your review and welcome to Green People!
We are really pleased to hear the switch is going well so far. On the chalkiness, applying 20 to 30 minutes before going outside and using gentle tapping motions rather than rubbing can really help the formula settle and absorb more smoothly. The richer texture is very much by design as the formula is built to nourish as well as protect, which is quite different from the lighter feel of many conventional sun creams. We hope it continues to impress!

“Good quality
Rubs in very well, better than off the shelf.
Didn't burn once and the kids didn't either in 34 c heat in Greece.
A little expensive for a family, but hopefully the price will come down as more turn to natural”
Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We are really pleased the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 held up so well for the whole family in 34 degree Greek heat. The cost of certified organic ingredients is something we work hard to keep as fair as possible and it is worth signing up to our newsletter at greenpeople.co.uk for exclusive subscriber offers to help with the family spend!

Hi Noelle,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We are really pleased to hear the Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 is working so gently for your sensitive skin. Building genuine moisturisation into our sun cream formulas rather than treating it as an afterthought is something we feel very strongly about and it is great to hear that comes through so clearly for you.

“Bought this to try after suffering from heat rash/prickly heat any time I am in extreme heat.
I’ve tried so many sun creams over the years. I went to Spain and the temperature was 37 degrees and sunny, I was there for 10 days. Unfortunately (the same as always) after 3 days in the sun I came out in heat rash on my legs, arms and torso. I had such high hopes for this suncream, but unfortunately didn’t work for me like it has for others. I did like the suncream, it didn’t flare up my eczema as its scent free. It does go on very white and thick but after some rubbing in it does soak in nice, a little goes a long way, and didn’t leave my skin greasy which was nice. I like the ingredients in this and it’s a great suncream, I didn’t burn at all even in the extreme sun. However it didn’t help nor prevent my prickly heat which is the main reason I bought it.
I would continue to use it for the rest of the family, however for me the search continues for a suncream that can prevent the misery of prickly heat.”
Hi Carrina,
Thank you so much for this really detailed and honest review.
We are sorry to hear the prickly heat was not prevented on this occasion, particularly after such high hopes and so many years of searching. We are really glad it worked well for your eczema and kept you burn-free in 37 degree heat.
One thing we do want to gently raise is that applying enough product is just as important as the formula itself. You need at least 30ml to cover the whole body for each application to achieve the full SPF protection and prickly heat prevention the formula is designed to deliver. Applying too little can significantly reduce its effectiveness, so we would really encourage you to be generous next time and reapply every two hours and after swimming. It may make all the difference!
If you would like any further advice please do reach out to our customer care team at organic@greenpeople.co.uk.

Hi Helen,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Wearing sun cream comfortably every day as a gardener is such an important habit and we are really glad our formula feels moisturising enough to make that easy. Daily exposure to the sun is cumulative and gardeners often catch more UV than they realise, so it is really great to hear you are protecting your skin so consistently.
