MANDA Organic Sun Creme

After yet another visit to the Dermatologist and more pre-cancerous spots taken off my face, I was in need of a very good, protective SPF50 sun cream, one I could feel good about and could trust to protect my face with the best, natural (organic, which is super important to me) and ethically sourced ingredients available.I chose Manda (in the tube) simply because the packaging presented a better value as opposed to the Manda in the adorable little box, but I will soon order Manda-in-the-box anyway because the cream is easier to carry and apply from a utensil like that.In the meantime I found a neat little container, still from my Life-in-Paris and simply squeezed a great deal of the contents of the tube into my little treasure, just to tide me over.Manda SPF50 Sun cream is like no other! From the wonderful smell you already immediately feel that this cream will shield you and the promise of Protection and Pampering comes abundantly clear when you scoop up an amount , warm and liquify it in your hands and apply it to where ever you need it.Instead of a runny and often oily liquid which seeps through your fingers and spills onto your clothes, Manda is a sturdy, café-au-lait colored, thick paste, which does neither run nor spill out and applies effortlessly to your face and other parts of you, needing sun protection. You can use as much or as little as you like and the cream will not only protect you from the intense rays of the sun but also function as a beautiful, fragrant moisturizer. I have very dry skin and walk my little dog daily, using Manda without an additional moisturizing cream. Simply superb. Heartily recommended!

I’ve been buying Manda sunscreen for a couple years but haven’t made a purchase in the last 9 months. The consistency has changed in a good way. No longer is it as thick and grainy as it was when I first bought it. The application process is much easier and it still has the same smell and skin protection. Another issue with the product before was temperature. I kept it in my truck for surfing and on cold winter mornings it was impossible to get anything out of the tube. I haven’t tried keeping this in my truck yet but it seems like there will be a huge improvement in this area as well. This is an expensive bottle of sunscreen but the quality exceeds the cost in my opinion. Reef safe, organic goodness with an amazing smell and great feel. Definitely stays on in the water as well. Never runs into my eyes. I’ve tried a lot of sunscreen products in the water, but this is my favorite. Thank you Manda.

Love this natural and reef safe sunscreen. It is a little thick and “grainy” if it is not warmed up, but if you just rub it between your fingers, it smooths out. When you’re on the beach and the bottle is warmed up by the sun, you will not notice that. Doesn’t leave a white film on my skin, either. Feels so good on my skin and the smell is divine! Highly recommended!!

I love everything about this sunscreen - the feel when you put it on, the amazing protection (I am pale and burn easily and this protects me for hours in the sun). My children are happy to wear it (maybe the best part) because it smells so good. It doesn't make my skin break out, also excellent. The only bad thing is there have been a few batches I've gotten over the last few years that don't squeeze out easily - I cut the back corner and just squeeze it out of there. I wish they would widen the hole a bit. Otherwise, it's the best.

Nothing comes out of this bottle now it’s expired because I waited so long to try to use it again I thought maybe in the warmer seasons I can use this but the product is so thick that it needs to be in a jar not in this container I want a refund

I live by the coast in sunny Southern California, so sun protection is a MUST!It was important for me to find a product with natural ingredients, that wouldn't be harmful for me to use, is reef safe, and is ethically made.After trying product after product and never being satisfied, a friend of mine suggested MANDA Organic Sun Creme, it hit all the marks for me and I haven't tried anything else since.What I love about MANDA products is that they are USA made (California).The products are All Natural. I mean so natural you can eat it (NOT Recommended), but if you have kids.....The packaging is also not only made from natural products, but its absolutely beautiful.**One thing to note about this product is that because of the coconut oil and shea butter, the product will firm up and is a little hard to extract. I recommend putting on the dashboard of your car, or in a cup of hot water for a few minutes so you can squeeze the tube**

the sunscreen is good but what contains it is a bad design. I could not bear everyday 30min's squeezing.

Very emollient but worth the application knowing of its natural ingredients. A little goes a long way. It became difficult to press the sunscreen from the tube, so I put the tube's contents in a glass jar with a lid for easy access. The sunscreen works and certainly moisturizes.
