My review for Suntegrity 5 in 1 Tinted Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen, SPF30. This product comes in a tube with a pump. I have the Light shade but it is also available in Medium. The Light shade comes out looking pretty dark, and I was worried that it was going to be horrible, but it blended right in with my skin. It leaves no white cast, has just the right amount of moisturizer (i.e. is not greasy), is not tacky, and leaves the skin very soft. It is extremely light feeling to the point of not even realizing you have any sunscreen on. It has a very light scent that is a little citrusy to my nose. I have used this product when I worked in the yard the entire day and I got no color on my face. This is everything I have been looking for in a sunscreen and I have finally found my HG. It is on the expensive side. The tube is 1.7 oz/50 ml and costs $45. I found it on sale on Open Sky for $35. ETA: It does not cover the redness from my broken caps, but no sunscreen that I have used and liked has done that.
Ingredients: Active Ingredient: Zinc-Oxide 20%
Inactive Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Capric Caprylic Triglycerides (Coconut Oil Extract), Sorbitan Stearate (Plant Derived), Glyceryl Stearate (Plant Derived), Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate (Plant Derived), Hexyl Laurate (Plant Derived), Simmondsia Chinensis (Organic Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetyl Dimethicone (Mineral Derived), Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt), Helianthus Annuus (Organic Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Organic Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Astaxanthin (Algae Source), Hyaluronic Acid (Plant Derived), Chlorella Emersonii (Red Algae) Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Organic Green Tea) Extract, Punica Granatum (Organic Pomegranate) Oil, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Iron Oxide

I know how picky you are about sunscreens, so I will definitely be ordering if you call it your HG!!! |

Hi Rileygirl, how does this compare to MV moisturizing face screen and did you ever try Zo Oclipse sunscreen and primer? I loved ZO but it was $65.00 for an ounce and I just couldn't justify that but I'm wondering if Suntegrity could be the same. Thanks. |

rileygirl, is ZO Oclipse sunscreen lighter or darker than Sentegrity BB? I found ZO Oclipse sunscreen too beige and too dark.
I am so glad that you've found you HG!! |

Thanks Bethany. I hope it does not disappoint you, and I hope the Light is light enough for very fair skin!
Cookie, I only used the MVO Everyday Sheer. I found that to be extremely drying on my skin, even with a moisturizer underneath. It also was very chalky feeling to me personally. I did like and use the ZO sunscreen. The Suntegrity is similar, but lighter in feel if that makes sense.
RussianSunshine, I feel that the Suntegrity Light is definitely a lighter shade than the ZO sunscreen. Now when it first came out of the tube, I was nervous that is may be too dark, but after smoothing it on, it matched my skin perfectly.
I wanted to do a review on this product, as I think it is really good and I do feel it protects very well and I personally love it, but I hate to recommend a sunscreen to anyone, as I know with sunscreen in particular it is such a personal issue. |

Thanks Rileygirl, can you tell me what shade you skin is naturally? |

Hmm, that is tough since I don't wear make-up, I can't give you a make-up shade, but I would say I am a light medium! (Hope that makes sense.)
I found this info when I was trying to decide on the Suntegrity shade, and maybe it will help others decide which one to get.
Suntegrity Face Tinted Guide:
Suntegrity Face Light is suitable for fair to light olive skintones - Naomi Watts, Jessica Alba and Sandra Oh.
Suntegrity Face Medium is suitable for darker skin tones - Freida Pinto, Naomie Harris and Halle Berry.
Olive skin tones like Jennifer Lopez or Eva Mendez would probably best suit medium in summer and light in winter. If you have olive skin we recommend you purchase a trial size of both light and medium first to decide on your preference for your individual skin tone.
The Light and Medium shades of Suntegrity Face tinted cover 90% of skin tones.

Thanks Rileygirl, I don't wear makeup either so that medium light comment helps a lot and also the information you listed. Thanks. I still have 3 different sunscreen I already bought I still need to trial but will order this if those don't work out. |

YEs! BB creams are the hot ticket now! Im using Bobbi Brown one that isnt as pink/greasy as some others.
Back to Suntegrity: its a lovely brand and Ive used the sunscreen by them. Has all the right ingredients but it made le zits galore on me. I was really sad about this because it seems to be the perfect sunscreen. I read their explanation of ingredients and there is a valid rationale for each one of them. I cant figure out what is making it wrong for me.
Glad to see they have an offering in the BB cream arena too tho! |

Fawnie- can you tell me what kind of skin you have and are you more prone to acne? I would like to order this sunscreen but I have oily skin and very acne prone so that might be a problem. Thanks. |

Hi Cookie!
I have normal skin that is acne-prone. As long as I stay away from whatever ingreds trigger it (and I havent completely solved that mystery) and as long as I cleanse thoroughly before I sleep, Im fine.
I so wanted to love this SS but it wont work for me. The owner is totally gracious and sent me generous samples to try. I just love her and the philosophy of her company. It may work beautifully for those without my particular acne-prone skin tho. Doesnt hurt to ask for samples! |

Hi Tiny and RussianSunshine, Suntegrity does have some retail locations on their website. Most of them are located in CA. I am going to be at my house there this weekend and there is a location near me. It's a Pilates studio so I would have to call to make sure they had it. It says JoElla Milan has it also but I once tried to schedule a facial with her for me and a friend and I left 3 messages and she never got back to me. So I'm not to keen on getting it from her. There is also a place in TX near my house maybe I'll check that place out when I get back. Here is the link if you want to look at the locations.

Hi all. I just sent an email to Suntegrity and asked if they provided samples and what you all would need to do to get them. I will let you know the reply I get. They may come on this thread and answer, as I provided the link to the thread and my review of the product. I love this product. One of my best purchases to date!
(RussianSunshine, sorry just saw your question. From what I can remember, I got tanned from the Original Devita - the one that came in a jar, but not the one in the tube. Not 100% sure on this, as it has been a while since I used the Devita!) |

You're welcome, Cookie! No trouble at all. I started the review, so I figured I should follow-up for you guys! I understand wanting samples, as I have trouble with color products, as well. Hopefully they will be able to provide samples. |

Talk about great customer service! I got an email back already. The woman, Tricia, said she signed up and posted on this thread, but I don't see it showing up yet, but she was unsure if she had posted correctly or not.
Anyway, I will copy part of the email for you all. Good luck to those who try it. I hope you love it as much as I do!
I basically wrote that we are in the process of revamping our website and we are going to be offering deluxe sample tubes of our tinted "5 in 1" face sunscreen and sample packets of our regular face sunscreen/primer for sale in about a week. In the interim, I'd be happy to mail some of the "posters" a sample if they email me (info@suntegrityskincare.com) their mailing address and indicate if they would like to try the regular face, light tint or medium tint sunscreen. |

I got samples of both the light tint and regular sunscreen about a week ago. I also got a coupon code good for 20% off my first order with the samples. I just got around to trying the light tint today and I like it a lot. I think even better than I like the Marie Veronique. There's enough in my sample pot to last me another 2 days I think so I should get a good idea about it by then. My first impression of this stuff is that it is very good. The thing I was concerned about was if it would make my face shiny and it does not. It's not as matte as MVO but that is OK, it leaves kind a dewy look. And, the tint is not obvious. It evens out my skin nicely. I haven't tried the regular version yet. |
