Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Lotion SPF#4 235 ml

Always use this find it the best

Love this sunscreen non sticky

Lovely scent, little goes a long way and gave me a lovely even tan.

Exvellent

Works really well, no oily crap like some other sun cream products at such low factors. Rub very well and smells amazing. I'd recommend using this on a sun kissed skin already and not on day 1 of your holiday to avoid burns.

A great find for those with an existing tan who are looking for a good top-up. Really like the non-greasy feel and tropical aroma. Although the waterproof feature is an added bonus, it's best to reapply once you are dry again. Can leave a few smears once your body has attracted salt from the sea, but then most lotions I have used also have this problem.

Good

I ordered this sun lotion as it's impossible to now find a factor 4 sun lotion that isn't an oil base in the uk. It's a nice smelling cream and absorbs really well. Is quite moisturising and seems to be a true factor 4 . I do not burn with this cream, however I do not sunbath for more than an hour - 1.5 hrs maximum as it is low protection and is only suitable for someone who already has carefully acquired a base tan using a higher factor first.

Mi bronceador preferido, en especial esta presentación en crema que se puede untar uniformemente sobre la piel y deja un buen bronceado sin quemar la piel o dejarla demasiado grasosa.

يفي بالغرض

I have mostly Eastern European with some Mediterranean ancestry. I'm pale without sun exposure but tan very well (skin type 4, maybe 3.5). I moved to California a year ago for the sunshine because I'm usually vitamin D deficient and got depressed in New York winters. Now I drive a convertible and have a patio that gets direct sunlight most of the year, so I need sunscreen. I generally use SPF 4 or 6, but I use this sunscreen on very sunny days or long drives, or the day after a lot of sun exposure. It's also usually sufficient for the less pigmentally-gifted who find themselves in my car with the top down, so I keep a bottle of this in my car. For background, I've used Hawaiian Tropic SPF 4 Tanning Lotion Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum SPF 6 Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum SPF 8 Lotion Sunscreen, and Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Ultra Radiance Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen. The SPF 4, 6, and 8 come in the same dark brown bottle, whereas the the SPF 15 Ultra Radiance comes in a beige bottle and the flower illustration is shiny. The SPF 4, 6, and 8 also have the same rich cocoa butter/coconut oil smell, whereas the Ultra Radiance has a very floral, feminine smell. The SPF 4 is the thickest and has a slightly stronger smell, with the SPF 6 and 8 the same medium thickness/smell, and the SPF 15 the runniest. Because of the smell and consistency, I'm not a fan of the SPF 15 at all. The only difference between the SPF 6 and SPF 8 Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch sunscreens is a slightly higher concentration of active ingredient octocrylene (1.0% vs. 0.7%). Every other ingredient is the same. There are a few differences between this and the SPF 4 Tanning Lotion. Notably, the SPF 4 has retinyl palmitate, which has been shown (in large quantities) to actually increase the risk of skin cancer. The SPF 4 also contains oxybenzone, which has also been shown (also in large quantities) to mimic estrogen and disrupt endocrine function (but the concentration is so low compared to high-SPF sunscreens it probably doesn't matter). The SPF 4 the only one of these not labeled as "broad spectrum." It's possible the SPF 6 didn't meet the requirements for this label, so Hawaiian Tropic just discontinued it and figured the SPF 4 was fine for those who don't care about sun-induced premature aging. (Maybe I should.) Active ingredient comparison: SPF 4: 1.0% octocrylene, 0.5% oxybenzone SPF 6: 0.7% octocrylene, 0.5% avobenzone (this product) SPF 8: 1.0% octocrylene, 0.5% avobenzone. SPF 15: 3.0% octocrylene, 1.5% avobenzone, 3.0% homosalate, 4.5% octisalate For me, the SPF 8 is a good "daily driver."

Buen producto. No pica los ojos. Seca rapido.

Great product, not oily. Big bottle, value for money. All good. Very satisfied
