"i didn't realize that my combination skin can't handle a lotion this rich. i would recommend this but not as a face cream if your face isn't dry. it's really rich and smell good. i started using it as a body lotion & it's perfect. my skin feels hydrated all day. but when i put it on my face by the afternoon my face gets extremely oily.."

Excellent moisturizer with physical sunscreen
December 30, 2008
"I was very excited to find this all natural facial moisturizer with physical (mineral) sunscreen. Normally I use Avalon Organics CoQ10 moisturizer with MyChelle SunShield physical sunscreen SPF 28 over. But I wanted something combined so I only need to apply one product in the morning, and something light to wear when I'll be mostly indoors anyway. Since I am in CA sunscreen is necessary for sun-aging protection year round.
This BWC moisturizer contains titanium dioxide as the sunscreen, although i wish they specified what the % is. The cream goes on white but quickly turns transparent on the skin - at least on my light colored skin.
The finish is nice and smooth, somewhat matte - not greasy. It leaves my skin hydrated and velvety smooth. It has a barely noticeable pleasant scent... just a faint herbal smell. I am very sensitive to fragrances so I am glad it does not have a fragrance."
