If you mix it in with your own natural lotions or coconut oil, does it appear white on your skin?

I made this into sunscreen by melting beeswax, shae butter and coconut oil and then stirring in the zinc oxide. It goes on a little bit white, but once it melts into your skin, it does not look white. This is a great sunscreen for sensitive skin as well. Especially for those who have allergies to store-bought sunscreen.

I mixed it with Shea and beeswax it turns out white but once applied it there is no color.

I mixed it with coconut oil, Shea butter and almond oil. It doesn't appear white.

Yes, it does appear white, and it is rather difficult to wash off. So, it is great sun protection, if you don't mind looking a little ashy. It's not pure white. Just translucent.

Depends on how much you put in and how well you rub it in. I added a tablespoon zinc oxide to about 1/2 cup petroleum jelly to use as a diaper ointment, and that goes on rather white. But once you rub it in a bit, it disappears.

It didn't in mine. It blended well on my skin. I made my own sunscreen but have not had a chance to really test it out yet for strength.

If the zinc is mixed into coconut oil so that it is still smooth when warm, it can be rubbed in with very little white showing through.

I mix 1 Tablespoon zink to a cup coconut oil. No my skin does not turn white. You can't even tell zink is in it

I mixed it with Lubraderm. It Turned white after a lot of rubbing. This was too greasy for my face, but worked okay on the rest of the body. Next I will mix it with a lighter lotion and see how it works on my face.

Yes! My husband has combination skin "normal to oily" and he uses this lotion everyday without looking greasy.

No not at all! Use a fluffy brush and don't put a ton of it on at once. If you get too much on, you can brush the excess off with a clean brush. (my skin is in between fair and medium, and this stuff didn't make me look white even after I got too much sun and my cheeks were pink.)

If added to a carrier oil, yes. I use olive. Some people might have a reaction, so be sure to test a small amount on your skin first.

It comes on as a think white cream....I wouldn't call it greasy but more of a paste. Your face has a nice white tint to it after you put it on

No, it does not make your face white. It's very clear and goes on like moisturizer. It's not thick or greasy either.

Most products that claim to be natural usually have some sort of draw back. I've used this self tanner throughout the year and I'm very happy with the color but I would be careful about applying to your face. I noticed a few break outs after using this on my face. Besides that my skin has not had a severe reaction.

No it isn't a self tanner. It leaves skin healthy looking with out the thick sticky greasy look of lotions. I would definitely spray on after using a self tanner, tanning bed, spray tan. This product is that light and works wonders

No. During application process, right after putting it on I washed the dishes and a couple drops of water got on my arms so I had noticeable weird spots. After application it obviously fades everytime u expose your tanned parts with water.

I didn't notice that it left a white residue on my husband. It is a bit harder to blend in than typical lotions, but it isn't impossible.

I suppose it could as its not a strong oil that would irritate your skin, I use Coconut oil as a carrier though.

I do & have had no problems. I also mix it with an equal amount of moisturizer for a lighter look.

If you use it on its own it can leave a carrot color that will eventually dissipate. If you mix it in with other oils your product will come out orange and may leave a tint depending on the skin of the individual using it and how much of it you used in your mix.

Yes! I have very fair skin as well. Make sure you exfoliate first and rub the lotion in very well to blend it into your skin and wash your hands after applying.

Not at all. It blends to your natural skin so you don't have that white look. I have used the Dermalogica tinted moisturiser and it gives more of a glow. This is not a tinted moisturiser but truly sunscreen.

(By the way this oil is not crap, it is not virgin or extra virgin so it will not smell or taste coconuty) There are two kinds of 100% coconut oil from snappy (well 3 including the organic) one is colored orange- yellow to look like butter. I believe they use anatto seed. I have purchased the white oil in the gallon multiple times and it looks white to me.

I am pretty fair skinned, but on me it disappeared when I rubbed it in. It's not like zinc oxide ointment which makes you look like you painted your white.
