They have both a gel version that stings and I won't use, and a lotion (in a white plastic bottle). I live in Florida and if a sunscreen doesn't work, I know it quickly! I put it on about 15 minutes before going out, and it lasts as advertised, also is waterproof.
BTW if you wear facial moisturizer and/or makeup, look for those that have sunscreen too. I know that most of The Body Shop products have sunscreen in them - and added protection doesn't hurt! Especially makeup foundation that you put all over your face... with a trowel... OK so maybe that's just me....

> I've read that was good but that it burns when you put it on. I think it's because of the benzoic acid in it. (Darn it, why did they have to include that?) That might just be in their formula for faces though. I'm not sure. Their regular one has a smell I can't stand. I'm afraid the one for faces might really burn a lot on my skin because I use beta-hydrox (salicylic acid) to exfoliate. Does it have that burning effect on you? I might try this one anyway. If I can tolerate it, it might be worth it!
