Becca zinc oxide sunscreen

It seems my initial thread disappeared so am posting again.

As you all know of my search for a non-drying, high-zinc sunscreen for daily use. On a whim, after seeing the name on the Essential Day Spa high zinc list, I ordered Becca Mineral Tint SPF 30+ Sunscreen from Amazon with "medium" shade available on Prime.

I received it yesterday. On the EDS site it's listed as 17% zinc oxide, but on the actual box and tube I received it's listed as 20% zo. Super!! I applied it to the back of my hand for a skin test. No reaction. Applied to my face today in place of my moisturizer. Great news! No reaction and not super drying. I wore it all day and up til now (a bit after 1am). I'm still happy with it. It's definitely not drying, but I'd still like a wee bit more moisture. So, tomorrow I'm going to use the Creme Reverse first, then the Becca's.

I had ordered from Amazon for the free/2 day shipping for $17, but after surfing around online I came upon a site called, All Cosmetics Wholesale (based in WA), where they sell the Becca's sunscreen 2 tubes for $9.99. That's beyond a good deal. Has anyone heard of this company?

I haven't heard of it but am also always on the lookout for a good zinc based sunscreen. Please let us know if you like it after you use it.

I'd be very wary of that site, F1wilder -- no contact number, no guarantee of freshness (from their FAQs), and essentially no return policy.

I would be a little careful about that site too, F1. Sometimes saving a few bucks isn't worth it if you get an expired or fake product and I know how important skin protection is for you (and should be for all of us).

I'm really liking this one. It doesn't dry my skin or feel like I'm wearing a mask. So far so good.

HappyDaze & suzyQ3 - I'm not thinking of ordering from this website at the moment, too good to be true pricing. I thought, since they're based in WA state, our NW ladies may have heard of them.

Thank you!

Thank you! I am going to check out their web site.
