Salt & Stone Super Sun Protection Bundle - Lotion, Face Stick and Lip Balm, SSBUNDLE2

Very effective is eco friendly doesn’t burn if I apply straight after shaved. Very easy applyand the fresh smell is wonderful all day long. Is slightly pricey but you get quality product.

This set was amazing value when I bought it - way cheaper than buying the items individually. I bought it for the solid spf50 sick and it's the only version of zinc oxide sun screen stick I've found to have a tint (it doesn't give any colour but prevents the product looking white or cast-y on the skin). Very easy to swipe on and blend with fingers. Both the cream and stick are water resistant and consequently feel a bit heavy and sticky when used on your face, so I save them for walks or sports on hot days when I'll get sweaty and beach type outings. The first swipe can sometimes feel a bit gritty as the product warms up, but is usually nice and smooth after that. Occasionally you'll come across a blob of tint which hasn't been blended in so you end up with a tiny coloured streak on your skin but this disappears easily with a finger blend. The cream/lotion is less cast-y than I expected, but is not completely invisible - I have decanted some into a pot and mixed mine with some iron oxide mineral pigments to give it some colour similar to my skin tone. Both are tenacious on the skin so you'll need to do a proper double cleanse to remove.

Was initially unsure about the spf 50 cream as it says spf 50 on the front but spf 30 on the back and there are some typos. Reached out to salt and stone on Instagram and they assured me it was just typos a while back. Tried it and actually very impressed by the lack of white cast. It’s also very moisturising so I can skip moisturiser. It is hard to squeeze out of the tube as it’s like a paste but as soon as you smooth it on it’s not thick anymore, feels just like a very rich moisturiser. It helped disguise my Retinoid flaky skin perfectly, I’m really impressed as most things break me out but this hasn’t and no burning of my sensitive irritated skin whatsoever. But I haven’t tested if it’s actually good for sun protection because I use a powder spf on top of it. It’s perfect for me right now, apart from the very slight rancid smell as I discovered the expiration date is 3 months away, so that explains the cheap bundle. However, the lip balm actually expired 9 months ago (08/2021) so also has a rancid smell and feels drying too. The Face stick is also expired, although it’s the one with the least smell and it applies very nicely, however, the same as the cream, I think you have to put powder on top to keep it in place because it doesn’t dry and remains sticky on the surface. They are good products I believe, but the expired products really shouldn’t be sold and there should be a warning for the near expiry ones. I won’t be using the expired products as I’m unsure of their protective capability!

It feels cheap, the cream is like a thick paste that was difficult to squeeze out of the tube it was almost solidified! Does not feel nice on the skin. The sun stick is slightly better in that it applies easier. It is tinted but only very slightly. It is gritty but the gritty bits once ribbed in go away and blend in. Both of the creams feel heavy on your face. Not nice.

Smells nice but didn't really work for me. Found it expensive at £20 for it not to work.

I love the lip balm and stick. But the sun cream has ingredients I usually avoid. On the Salt and Stone website, the ingredients lists I found looked fine, but this cream is not the same.Ingredients:Zinc Oxide, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Polyglycerl-3 Polyricinoleate, Isostearic Acid, Caprillic/capric triglyceride, Dimethicone, Octyl Palmitate, Butylene Glycol, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Glycerol, Polyethylene, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Glyceryl Oleate, Xanthan gum.

The lip and face cream might last, but the 200ml tube is almost empty after a week of use. It takes very long to soak up and leaves a white residue everywhere, although I am very fair!

Like betor other people mention this items are expired and suncream have on front writing spf 50 and on back spf 30

This is usually an excellent brand, but this batch is old. The face and body suncreams are dried up and lumpy. Really annoyed that I didn't open the package sooner, because I've missed the window to return these faulty goods.

I tried Bergamont & Hinoki and it’s ok, but I definitely do not like the black rose. These 2 were just too strong. I am postpartum so I have needed to reapply some days. Saffron & Cedar holds up the longest WHILE ALSO counteracting the odor to the most appealing scent to me personally! I like the scent of Santal & Vetiver best but it doesn’t hold up quite as well. Hope this helps!

Note that this is not an anti-perspirant, only a deodorant. You will still sweat. The smell of the deodorant is lovely and it does indeed last long, but it can come off as an odd odor if it mixes with your natural body chemistry, depending on each person. So be mindful of that and decide for yourself if it's a smell you care for. I appreciate the formulation in this though because I had been getting dark rashes from deodorants with aluminum in it. This one has possibly aided in fading the discoloration of my skin, and I've only had it for maybe 1-2 months. Again though, it may vary from person to person. I personally have had a decent experience using it.

I tried it for a few before reviewing. I usually use a dry spray so solid is a change. Easy to useThis one goes on well, it’s not too soft, feels dry after application, so a two swipe application per arm works well. Doesn’t cake up.With a few scent options, I couldn’t ever guess what the fragrance might be like on most; I do know rose so I ordered that fragrance. Luckily for this guy, it’s not a floral scent; not light or flowery; more of a deep mellowy smooth scent. It’s good. Not light b or fruity or sweet; more woodsy, calm, relaxing scent. I’m really bad at describing scents but hopefully this info would bet of help.It’s summer, and I gave it a try on applying one day but not the second day, and was very surprised on day two, I could only smell the deodorant; no body odor.I’ll try a few other scents too — next time I order.

This was my first time using this brand and I used it faithfully for about 9 months.I've been using more natural and aluminum-free deodorants for several years now. I have sensitive underarms so I stay away from "clinical strength" or a lot of chemicals. I've tried both ladies' and men's brands (I'm a woman) and they only seem to work for a little while before they completely stop working and I have to switch to something new (or back to an old one). I decided to give this one a try after seeing it pop up on Amazon a lot and also because the one I was using isn't sold in stores and would sometimes take a week or more to get to me.My first impression of this deodorant was that I like the compact, round packaging and how easy it is to use (the bottom twists very smoothly). Secondly, IT SMELLS AMAZING. Black rose and Oud is such a delicious scent - lightly floral, sweet, a little powdery, and a little musky. Every time I applied it, I kept falling more in love with the scent. And it also applied to my underarms very smoothly and without any pulling or roughness.It's worth noting that I started using this deodorant during a heat wave; we had about three weeks of temperatures between 90-100 degrees F with 75-95% humidity. Surprise surprise, this deodorant held up! Mind you, it's deodorant and not antiperspirant, so, yes, I did sweat, but, no, I did not smell. I applied it once a day (or the night before) and had no issues. This deodorant also held up exceptionally when I was exercising and it did not leave me smelling bad at all after workouts.Now, where this deodorant DID NOT HOLD UP is when it came to hormone changes and (emotional) stress. Whenever that time of the month came around, the deodorant significantly weakened and I had to apply it again during the day. For me, that's actually normal and I pretty much have that happen with any deodorant. It's performance during stress was pretty terrible though. I went through a few months of intense mental/emotional stress and this deodorant completely failed me. The second I got anxious or stressed out, my armpits would start to pool and turn into a swampy mess and I would immediately smell terrible. Not once did the deodorant hold up to my stress sweat or funk, which was very disappointing since I liked it very much outside of that one issue.I ended up just throwing it away (since I wasn't sure when the stress would stop) and going back to my previous deodorant that worked wonderfully, now sells on Amazon, and I highly recommend: Kosas! It is pricey like this one, but the main selling point for me is that it contains AHA and BHAs that stop the funk and also brighten (and keep bright) the underarm area. It also neutralizes razor burn.
