What the gurus are saying

This oil delivers reliable sun protection and a pleasant scent, though opinions split on the finish. One reviewer found it worked well on the face layered under sunscreen despite initial concern about the thin, very oily texture, while another felt it lacked the shimmer expected from a body sunscreen oil and would choose it mainly if the fragrance is a priority for you. The spray applicator may need care, as it can dispense generously.

"I wish I had brought Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance SPF50 Body Oil, I absolutely love this, but the spray broke and we've got quite a lot left in there. When I opened it to pour it on my hand I obviously poured out way too much because it's an oil, so I really really like this but it broke. [...] It smells so good, and just for the face, ten out of ten as always, so good. Face hasn't burnt at all, and I've been using this and putting my foundation on top."

"I love a good body sunscreen oil in the summertime because I love that glistening look. [...] However, this one I felt like it wasn't as shiny as I would want a body sunscreen oil to be. It still looked pretty on the skin, but if this was a different scent this would be a different review. If it was that 71 or that 40 I would take the less subtle gradients and the less subtle shininess of the oil and trade that off for the scent that I like. If you're a fan of this scent then you probably would like this."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
