Good price bought it again

Great value for money

Great

I took this sun lotion with me to Crete. Although we went in September the weather was still in the 30's. I have fair skinThe lotion is 4* protection rating - which I think is high, better than my invisible Nivea sun sprayThe lotion goes on nicely, like a moisuriser rather than sun lotion and smelled very fresh. It was nice on the skin too, lovely moisturiser. I was a little worried about how effective this would be as a sun lotion.I was in the full sun on the beach all day, every day, about 31 degree C. I did not burn (I got a little red on my chest so did take special care of this area). The lotion was not sticky and gave me good protection all over. I did not use it on my face as I like a specific facial sunblock.When I came back after a week I had a lovely tan. My skin was not at all dry. I would highly recommend this product.The only reason it does not get 5* is it is pricey. I used this all over once a day (I topped up once or twice with it) and ended up topping up with my Nivea Sun on the beach (which I already had) the Hawaiian Tropic 180ml lasted about a week. 2 bottles would be better for a week, so you can top up with the same product.

When you are selecting a sun cream you need a brand that you have heard of and do not want the cheapest product on the market as, after all, your skin is precious and the risks of damage from the sun is high. As I write this in early June 2020 the UK has just had the hottest Spring on record, which means since the late 1920s; quite a long time and it is more important than ever that we make sure we are protected from harmful ultra violet rays.Glancing through the ingredients of this Hawaiian Tropic SPF30 Silk Hydration Lotion I see it contains items such as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Polymethylsilsesquioxane and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter. I have no idea what any of these are but they are just right side of being impressive without being scary. I do note that it also contains Paraffin which I would have thought would be the last thing you would want to smear on your skin when it is hot and sunny, but what do I know? Very little in all probability.I am impressed that the makers are able to spell the word Hawaiian correctly though, unlike certain take away pizza establishments, and what, exactly does canned pineapple and processed ham have to do with a Pacific island state of the US anyway?Apparently the Hawaiian Tropic brand was invented by a chap called Ron Rice who started mixing it in his garage in Kentucky in 1969 and has now become a global brand that is owned by Energizer Inc who also control the famous battery brand. Until 2010 Hawaiian Tropic ran a beauty pageant which has now thankfully been discontinued.I love the coconut smell of this as it instantly reminds you of sipping a pina-colada whist looking at the ocean on a palm fringed beach and takes your mind away from the fact that you are actually in your back yard.

I’ve tried numerous sunscreens throughout the years, but none have captured the essence of the tropics quite like Hawaiian Tropic Sun Cream. From the moment I applied it, I knew I had discovered something special.First and foremost, the scent is simply divine. It transports me to a Hawaiian paradise. The fragrance alone sets the tone for a delightful beach experience, evoking a sense of relaxation and joy.One of the standout features of Hawaiian Tropic Sun Cream is its exceptional sun protection. With a broad-spectrum SPF of 30, it shields my skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing reliable defense against sunburns and long-term sun damage. I appreciate how it’s water-resistant as well, allowing me to enjoy swimming and water activities without worrying about reapplication constantly.What truly sets this sun cream apart is its luxurious texture. The formula glides on effortlessly, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. This lightweight and non-greasy consistency make it perfect for both daily use and extended beach days. It feels like a treat for the skin, leaving it soft, nourished, and well-moisturized, even under the scorching sun.Furthermore, Hawaiian Tropic Sun Cream incorporates beneficial ingredients like aloe vera and cocoa butter, which contribute to its hydrating and soothing properties. These components work together to keep my skin feeling refreshed and replenished, preventing it from drying out even in harsh conditions.

I bought this for my holiday, has a very nice scent and does the job at protecting you from that sun lol while still getting a good tan.

This lotion does the trick - I have very sensitive skin and I really got on with this in Dominican Republic! I tanned well without suffering any burns! It smells absolutely incredible too.
