What the gurus are saying

The aerated whip texture feels luxurious and smells wonderful, but it comes with real trade-offs. The formula demands a thicker layer than standard sunscreens to work properly, and the sheer fluffiness makes it genuinely hard to tell if you've covered your whole body evenly, which one reviewer found left her slightly underprotected. It's not for anyone with sensitive skin, fragrance sensitivity, eczema, or a coconut allergy, and it can irritate the eyes during active use or water sports. That said, gurus praise it as a genuinely fun product for beach trips, celebrations, or getting kids excited about sun protection, though the stickiness lingers.

"The Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 to me is the better product. For the price though, it's $22, and honestly, the Vacation to me is the better product, but at that price point versus alternatives, it comes down to your budget."

"You're going to have to wear more than you would normally wear of your regular sunscreens, get a nice thick layer. It smells phenomenally. If you have eczema or you are sensitive to fragrances, not for you, but if you love an experience, I would have to say this is 10 out of 10 on experience. My first outing with the sunscreen I hated it because I used it before surfing and I found that this sunscreen was extremely irritating when it got in my eyes. So if you're going to be running, sweating, maybe in the water and active, not a sensitive skin, sensitive eyeball sunscreen, not gentle at all. But from the experience standpoint, this will probably elevate your beach trip. It will probably create some nostalgia to go along with whatever adventure you're having. Love this sunscreen."

"When you rub it in there's so much air in there I don't actually know if I'm covering my body enough and I think that did lead to me getting a little bit pinker than I wanted. I didn't feel like this protected me as well and I don't know if it's the formula, if it's an SPF 30 or if it's the fact that it's aerated so I couldn't figure out how much to apply to my skin. This would be one of my absolute favorite sunscreens if it didn't break anything out, but if you're sensitive to coconut this has coconut in it and if you're acne prone, fragrance sensitive, stay away. If you want to have fun with your sunscreen, if you're going to a bachelorette party or beach vacation or if you're trying to have fun with your routine, you're sick and tired of the same old grubby lotions, you have kids you want to get them excited about using sunscreen, this is so fun as a use case. It does kind of make me a little bit sticky. I think it's the coconut oil in here. I wanted to love it and I do love certain aspects, but I don't think it was perfect for my body."
