Great Physical SPF

Pros: At least 70% Organic

Cons: takes a little longer to apply

Avalon Organics Essential Lift SPF 15 is overall a great moisturizer formulated w/ zinc as a physical sunblock as opposed to a lot of organic SPFs that use some sort of chemical SPF (which in my mind defeats the idea of it being holistic). Since zinc... is a physical SPF, it has a slight white tint to it which will not really show up much on lighter skin tones, but may be an issue for those who are on the darker side. I love the fact that the moisturizer goes on matte w/o any oiliness. As a matter of fact, it leaves me mattified throughout the day where I normally would be very shiny (my T-zone area). The scent smells like lavander and if you decide to try this moisturizer out, I recommend lightly pressing the fluid onto your skin because it can be slightly tacky if you try to spread it (but the tackiness is only temporary until the lotion is absorbed into the skin).
