Great Product!

One of my kids has very sun-sensitive skin, and this is one of the few products she can use safely. While vacationing in Cancun, our whole family only put in on once, and it lasts a few hours in and out of the water. A little goes a long way too, as compared to the Bullfrog Gel Sunscreen formulas. My complaint is, this sunscreen is tinted so it stains your bathing suit quite a bit. Also, it feels more sticky than the Bullfrog Gel formulas that we're more accustomed to; takes much longer to dry and you almost have to rub the product in so your skin doesn't look pasty-white.

Great sunscreen

This is an incredible product! I'm hypersensitive to most sunscreens and am tired of the pasty white look after using other titanium dioxide products. This one provides good protection, doesn't cause skin reactions, and is invisible on my fair skin.

Use Sunscreen Where Hot

This couldn't have been offered to me at a better time. A time when I was getting ready to go to Israel. And I'm glad I took this with me because it is very hot there during the summer and I was out in the sun almost on a daily basis (sometimes for hours on end).

One day I spent four hours in the sun which is when I used this product the most and it really, really did what it was supposed to do which I am happy about because had I not used it, I might have ended up badly burned over half my body.

I recommend this product if your planning a day on the beach or a vactaion to a hot place.

Easy Application, But Stains Clothing!

I bought this product because I was going to Las Vegas and it was on
the EWG(Environmental Working Group)list of sunscreen products that was deemed "less harmful" & effective. Almost all of the more well-known
suncreens got poor ratings. There were a few other brands that scored
better, but either they were too expensive or out of stock. Anyhow,
in my opinion, applying the product was not too bad. It spread fairly
easy, no smell, and not as oily as most of the other products. However,
the biggest drawbacks are clothing stains & the off white cast it leaves
on the skin. This product stains everything it comes in contact. My
advice would be to only wear clothing that is washable, because it
seems to come of the clothing when washed. Avoid clothing that has to
be dry-cleaned. The bottom line is does the consumer really know how
well any of these products work or do they work at all? So all anyone
can do until something better comes along, is to use a product that is
recommended by a non-biased group & cover up.

The best, bar none, skin protector around.

The water resistant aspect of a very strong sunscreen is just one of the many aspects that makes this product the best on the market. My skin felt smoother, my eyes didn't burn as they so often do with other protectors.

This is the first time I've used a product that blocks UVB and UVA rays --I didn't even know there was a problem. But when I get out of the pool and clean up -- I am not burned anywhere. I do not think there is another product on the market that could beat this one for protecting and moisturing your skin.

Enjoy swimming, walking in the sun, jogging on a sunny or overcast day and feel safe knowing that your skin will be protected. You won't have a very uncomfortable burn of any kind. One of the other really nice features is that there is no aroma ... so if perfumes, body fragrances, men's cologne bother you -- this won't.

As a kid I got burned badly at the beach; I haven't spent much time in the sun since then. I've used products as they came out, but they didn't protect me well.

This is a miracle. Have fun in the sun!

Combined multiple particle sizes of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide. Special formula that is perfect for photo-sensitive individuals.

Fallene Cotz SPF 58 sunscreen combines multiple particle sizes of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide to offer excellent full-spectrum protection. The Full-Spectrum Sun Protection
Fallene, Ltd. produces the most complete full spectrum sun protection available. Cotz SPF 58, Lipcotz SPF 45, Clear SPF 65, and Tinted SPF 60, all combine multiple particle sizes of micronized titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide to form a complete barrier from the light spectrum, including UVA/UVB.

The Cotz SPF 58, as well as the other Fallene products, are specially designed for photo-sensitive individuals, but are perfect for anyone concerned about maintaining healthy skin and promoting the integrity of their immune system.

The Dangers of UVB Wavelengths
SPF rating does not adequately measure protection from all the damaging radiation effects of light. SPF is only a determination of protection from one specific wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, the UVB (290nm - 320nm). Unfortunately, there is no currently approved standard to rate the quality of a sunscreen's UVA protective capabilities. UVA (320nm - 400nm) is the deeper penetrating wavelength that is more often associated with skin changes, such as wrinkling, pigmentation, and long term damage. The SPF rating system does not accurately or completely define a sunscreen's protective capabilities from harmful ultraviolet radiation, except the UVB wavelength.

UVB creates a red, painful irritation first experienced during early sun exposure, but UVB is not the only ultraviolet wavelength damaging to the skin. In fact, UVB has only a minimal effect upon the deeper depth of skin. UVB and UVA radiation are both recognized as causing skin cancer, and SPF 30 protection is just not enough.

Direct Physical Photoblockers Benefits
Most of the physical photoblockers are naturally occurring metal compounds (iron, chromium, zinc, titanium, etc), although some, such as bismuth, are man-made. In addition to their photo-protective attributes, these substances also assist in preventing windburns and skin damage from wind-driven micro-particles, such as dirt and grime. These physical blockers also offer a substantial defense against infrared rays in two ways.

Winter, spring, summer or fall -- no matter what the season, Lipcotz SPF 45 protects your skin from harmful rays.

Minimize wrinkling, skin-damage, and photo-aging with Fallene sun-protection products. First, particles that are large enough to be seen, i.e. the reflect visible light, will also reflect and refract infrared waves that are the most harmful to the skin (760nm - 1,800nm). Second, regardless of particle size, these metal-based materials act as a "heat sink" and thereby reduce the heat effect on the skin.

Titanium Dioxide: Absorbs Light and Protects Skin
This white-pigment powder is widely used in cosmetics. Products containing large-particle titanium have a greater opacity, which means they have greater lightening or whitening qualities. Opaque titanium dioxide is highly reflective and strongly scatters all UV and visible rays. It also reflects much of the skin-damaging infrared waves, keeping skin cooler and reducing "heat" damage that causes unwanted photo-aging.

To photo-stabilize titanium dioxide it must be micro-coated with a protectant, such as silicone or aluminum oxide. Since titanium dioxide spreads poorly on the skin, another way to inhibit its breakdown is to incorporate titanium dioxide with other blockers. To achieve cosmetic elegance and usefulness, microcoating the titanium dioxide assures a good, even application to the skin. A downside of large-particle titanium dioxide products is that they produce a white, opaque appearance on the skin when applied. However, submicronizing the titanium dioxide powder, as Fallene does, creates small particles that absorb visible light and protect the skin, but they're still invisible on the skin, so you're not covered in embarrassing white salve.

Transparent (sub-micronized) titanium dioxide works by absorbing, reflecting and scattering UVB and some UVA rays. However, protection against UV, visible and infrared is significantly limited when submicronized titanium dioxide is the primary protectant.

Zinc Oxide: Extends Photo-Protection
Zinc Oxide has been known and used topically for centuries as a skin protectant and wound-healing adjuvant and is also recognized as a mild antimicrobial agent. More than 50 years ago, zinc oxide was indicated as a block for ultraviolet light (UVB/UVA). It also reflects infrared from the skin, as does titanium dioxide. However, its ability to protect in the long UVA range (300nn - 400nm) is much higher than titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide absorbs, rather than scatters, most UVA, while titanium dioxide primarily scatters these wavelengths. Thus, formulated in combination with titanium dioxide, ultra-fine zinc oxide "closes the window" in the UVA range. Zinc oxide works to both complement titanium dioxide's protection and extend photo-protection to the skin where titanium dioxide is insufficient. The optimal particle size range for ultraviolet blocking zinc oxide (without blocking visible wavelengths) is approximately 80 to 150 nanometers (1,000 nanometers = 1 micron).

Iron Oxides: Adds Color and Complements Primary UV Blocking Agents
Iron oxide is used in a wide array of cosmetics to provide cover-up color. Cosmetic iron oxides are manufactured to a high purity, desired color and particle size.

Iron oxide pigments for cosmetic use are micronized powders. They are available in a number of shades and tones of red, yellow, black and brown. These cosmetic pigments, if incorporated at adequate concentration and properly dispersed, not only add color, but they also provide significant skin protection from multiple wavelengths of light.

Ultra-submicronized iron oxides protect against visible light waves, but also add a little color to the finished product. This allows for the addition of higher levels of infrared protecting iron oxides, while retaining the cosmetic elegance and shade of the final preparation. Submicronized iron oxides block ultraviolet rays, which is a great complement to the primary UV blocking agents.
