“Opening Diving Board is like waking in a white room with no doors or windows. A question resonates as one reads these stories: How did Tomás Downey place me here so perfectly, and why is it that I don't want to leave?”—Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh and The Unworthy
Tomás Downey writes from the edge of the abyss. A little girl disappears midair; a horse grows from a seed; a war widow receives a visit of condolence, over and over and over again. In “The Astronaut” a man has become weightless, bobbing around on the ceiling, nauseated every time he is brought down and tethered to the earth. But the question here is not “how” or “why,” it’s “what happens next?” The astronaut wonders “Will I burn like an asteroid or drown in the void of space?” just as all of Downey’s stories reside in that threatening, destabilizing moment when all connection is lost. The world is filled with an ever-thickening mist, an old love haunts the living, making fruit rot in the bowl, and resolution isn’t offered or even sought—the human condition is queasy, fretful, absurd. All we can hope for is the leap into the unknown.

no white cast, super moisturizing, dewy finish, citrus scent
Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have a shelf of sunscreens. I am trying to find the perfect sunscreen for daily use on my face. I happen to be fair skinned, so if it happens to have a white cast, it isn't too noticeable. But still, I'd like to not even have to worry about it. I also would prefer not to use chemical sunscreens. I often use those on my body, but for my face which is more sensitive- the physical (mineral) sunscreens is better for me. There is NO white cast with this, so definitely fine for darker skin tones if you are looking for a physical sunscreen.
This sunscreen is nice. I hot days or days I know where I will be sweating a bit, I don't bother with my expensive skin care routine, since I am likely to sweat it off. This sunscreen offers some skin care goodies above and beyond non nano zinc oxide. So I feel like I am still doing something for my skin, including moisturizing it. According to description, it has antioxidant super plants:
--Juanilama: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant (87% more than vitamin E) properties, and
--Fierillo: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and antioxidant properties;
plus..
--Wakame Kelp: reinforce skin defenses again environment, etc
--Tazman Pepper: reduces skin inflammation and redness, and
--Arabica coffee oil: lubricates skin. regenerates hydrolipid barrier to promote hydration and skin repairing.
Smells energizing- like a punch of citrus fruit. It lingers for a little while then seems to dissipate. I can get it near my eyes and they don't get irritated. Kinda surprised it is a strong scent for something that is likely to go on the face.
Bottles says no synthetic colors, fragrances or unhealthy ingredients. "Fragrance" is vague here, and although maybe not synthetic, it should be cleared up as to what it is.
The company says in answering one of the questions that the fragrance comes from essential oils- if so, they should list the essential oils used. I imagine it is a citrus blend, but essential oils are different than just listing "fragrance". It would be helpful to see exact oils used. Then in another question answered, it was not mentioned that essential oils are used to create fragrance, but that it would be naturally occurring from some of the other ingredients. Which is it? If it is the latter, then the company would be doing themselves a favor by taking the word fragrance out of the ingredient list since not only would it be redundant to keep it in there it could scare off people who are avoiding "fragrance" as a listed ingredient. A product can have a scent due to other ingredients used that have a naturally occurring scent .. and and still be fragrance free. If it is a matter of it being from essential oils.. then that should be listed as well- for better or worse- but at least it is transparent information. Some people have strong reactions to essential oils on their face, whether from scent or from the activity they have. Some dont have reaction. Yet Some have strong reactions to "fragrance" as an added ingredient. Normally I see "fragrance" on a bottle and choose something else, as it typically depicts synthetic, and if it isn't synthetic then it doesn't need to be listed generically as fragrance, but instead specifically as to what the fragrance is derived from.
Anyway, I thought I would add that as I am sure there will be potential customers looking at the ingredient list and this may help them one way or another. I hope this review has been helpful to you. If I learn anything new, I will be sure to come back to update. Take care all :)

Very Satisfied!
Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is far better than some of the other facial sunscreens I have tried. It isn’t too thick, it has a smooth texture, and it does not leave the dreaded white cast that many do. It has a slight citrusy smell which some may not prefer, but it is not a deal breaker for me. I will definitely buy it again and continue using as my daily moisturizer.

Not a huge fan of this
Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The pump bottle doesn't work, which isn't great but is also not a deal breaker. You can twist off the cap and get the product out that way. I may have just gotten a defective bottle, who knows?
The sunscreen itself has a really nice texture like others have said and it goes on smoothly with no cast. But it also smells strongly like incense; several very fragrant plant ingredients at play here even though it has no artificial fragrances. Rosemary, some kind of australian pepper plant, and other strong smelling ingredients. If strong smells bother you, you might not like this one. I really don't like this smell. It made my skin red and itchy too, unfortunately. Not something I can really use :(
Love what the company is doing with the clean ingredients, though. Lots of pros and cons here and I'd definitely recommend trying it out even though it wasn't my cup of tea. Getting the small sample size to start with was the right move!

I Look Forward to Using it Daily
Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used this for at least four years and it's my favorite daily defense sunscreen. I notice some people had reactions but I have sensitive skin and rosacea and am have no irritation from this product. But everyone is different ... It goes on with a hardly noticeable hint of white then is quickly absorbed. Almost seems to even out my pigmentation a little. For those who mentioned it's dry, I don't expect this to be a moisturizer and use it on top of a treatment from the dermatologist. It smells fresh but isn't strongly scented. I've also tried Elta MD and it's a good product but this is less expensive for more product. The pump is handy until it can't reach and it becomes necessary to take the lid off and tap the remaining product into your palm each day. There's a good week or so left when the pump comes up empty. Hope you have as good of luck as I have. Some mention oiliness and piling but that hasn't been the case, but I order from the manufacturer directly which may insure I get the freshest batch.
