Disappointed
I've been a loyal customer of Biossance, but I think it's time to say bye. I can't believe they changed the formula, decreased the size of the bottle and INCREASED the price on a lot of their products. Please go back to the original formula and increase the bottle size. A couple of products have been revamped over te last 4 years. I'm looking into buying SKINCEUTICALS. They're a little more expensive but I heard this brand is excellent!!!!

NEW, NOT IMPROVED
Raising the price while offering a smaller tube to purchase was asking a lot of loyal paying customers. Why did this happen? Similar to so many customers here, I had tried and loved the original Biossance SQUALANE + ZINC SHEER MINERAL SUNSCREEN. The original formula went on smoothly, was sheer once applied and kept my skin evenly protected, moisturized and cool all day long. No irritation, burning or peeling occurred while I went through many different sized tubes over 2 and a half years. Upon trying out this new formulation (as there is no other option) for a month now, I cannot say it is an improvement. This new sunscreen does not apply evenly and occasionally pills. Once applied, my skin feels hot underneath. By the end of the day it is tight and obviously dry with redness. I have tried different skincare routines while switching out products. It is definitely the sunscreen causing irritation. From my experience with both formulations the original was far superior. Due to how expensive this product is, I will finish it as a body sunscreen sparingly. I will not be repurchasing this product.

Saddened by the change in this product
For yearrrrrs, this is the only sunscreen I purchase, recommend and gift others. I recently purchased another small tube and it doesn't feel the same, it doesn't apply smoothly like previously, and very much leaves a white cast all over my face. It is no longer sheer and untraceable. The cast is an all day thing. I don't understand why. I find myself comparing the ingredients from my previous tube to the new one. Going to on the look out for something different.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
First time I tried this was the old formula. I found it at Sephora and fell in love. It was the only sunscreen that worked for me. Now with this one, if I apply too much I get a headache. And it tingles a bit on my face as well. The old formula was so much better. This one isn’t bad but I’m still grieving the loss of the old formula lol. Oh yeah and now I have to pay to get it shipped to Canada.

Mehh
It is an ok sunscreen, little sticky. I am very diligent on my skincare. This tiny bottle for so much money doesn’t last. They used to offer a jumbo size.

New formula
I was pleasantly surprised with the new reformulation of this sunscreen. Although I loved the old formulation, this was almost identical. It's a bit creamier, but goes on easy and settles into the skin nicely. Will definitely purchase again!

Love this! But it’s really small!
5 stars for how much I love this sunscreen. I was shocked when it arrived because it is much smaller than the former sunscreen that Biossance made. I thought I was sent a sample by mistake! I have fair skin and only applied one time for 5 hours and no burn. Soaked into the skin nicely without leaving my skin sticky and white like most mineral sunscreens. Just wish it was bigger.

Miss the old formula
I found the new formula to be really sticky on my skin after application. It wasn’t as dewy as the old one, but it blends in well enough. But the sticky feeling is really unpleasant and I can’t justify paying the price for what it is. Really wish they could make the old formula available, it was hands down my favorite sunscreen ever and I even bought some second hand after they discontinued it..
