Opuntia violacea (syn. Opuntia santa-rita) - Purple prickly pear

Purple Prickly Pear is one of the most popular types of Prickly Pear used in the Southwest because of its durability and beauty. These have a naturally wide distribution in several areas of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts but they are only common in some places. The purple color on the pads will become more pronounced due to drought stress or during periods of cold weather. Pads are typically gray-green, with some purple hues, and can have a few long spines but all pads have numerous brown to black glochids. Plants ship bare root. Cuttings have no roots.

Good product
It’s very comparable to the Neutrogena version. Its light on my face, does not leave a white cast, and doesn’t break me out. The price point is excellent compared to the name brand one. I go walking almost everyday and live in a sunny and hot area where the climate is hot all year round. I haven’t gotten burnt since wearing this sunscreen. Definitely recommend *UPDATE* This sunscreen gave me acne. I rarely breakout and I now have five pimples on my face. I do not recommend!!!

Burns My Eyes
If your eyes have a sensitivity to sunscreen, they may have a sensitivity to this one. This product made my eyes burn for two days, with multiple washings. I have had problems with La Roche Posay sunscreen — if that is a helpful association. It has dimethicone —a silicone— in it (which might be the irritant). Its common in beauty products but some people avoid it for various reasons. If you have no sensitivities and don’t mind the silicone, then it could be an acceptable option for the value. It went on smooth and light, left no cast, and had a very mild scent. I will use it on my limbs, but I can’t use this on my face.

WORKS! LIGHT! EASY TO APPLY AND USE!
Took and trip and knew I would be out in the sun. I know this is for the face, but I used on my arms, legs and face. It is light and easy to apply. Not sticky and heavy as some sunblocks can be. I am very pleased with this purchase/find, as it works well and was a fabulous price for this tube.

Lightweight, Smooth, and Truly Unscented — My New Go-To Sunscreen
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
This is the first time I tried this Banana Boat unscented sunscreen, and I’m genuinely impressed. One of the biggest things I look for in sunscreen is how it feels on the skin, and this one delivers—it’s not sticky at all and goes on very smooth. It’s easy to apply and absorbs quickly without leaving that heavy, greasy feeling. I also really appreciate that it’s unscented. There’s no strong or unpleasant smell, which makes it much more comfortable to use daily. I’ve used other brands before, like Neutrogena and some higher-priced options, but honestly, this one stands out. It performs just as well—if not better—at a more reasonable price. Overall, this is a great sunscreen that I’ll definitely keep using. Highly recommended if you want something lightweight, smooth, and fragrance-free.

BEST sunscreen on the market
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
This sunscreen is truly the best sunscreen on the market. I have now bought 4 bottles, and plan to purchase more. It is extremely milky, dissolves onto the skin perfectly, it feels like you arent wearing any sunscreen at all. I tell everyone I know about this product. I also purchase the FACE spf which is even more smooth. I wish they sold this in a giant container, because I apply this everyday !! This sunscreen has made it more accessible for me to apply sunscreen daily, it also has very minimal scent, and never burns your eyes. Personally I will never buy another type of sunscreen again after this sunscreen.
