“Wandering through the desert on a hot summer day. The sun is brutal and beats your skin. Clouds start to form and suddenly you are shaded by clouds as rain starts to gently fall and all you can smell is the creosote around you. All natural, organic, long-lasting, unique, strong and moisturizing. Let this daily sunscreen be your shade while creosote and rosemary heal your skin from sun damage, sunburn and free radicals.”

Contains high spf plant oils and natural creosote resin protects your skin while a small amount of zinc oxide reflects the uv rays giving added mineral protection. Not only does this sunscreen protect your skin it also heals your skin from previous sun damage and sunburns. Naturally moisturizing but does not clog pores. Good for body and face.

Creosote has a unique, nostalgic scent that reminds us of the desert after it rains: fresh, woody, ancient. Desert aromatherapy helps bring a calming, grounding feeling.

Comes in a 2oz amber glass jar with aluminum lid. •

• thick, whipped sunscreen.

• goes on smooth and clear.

• NO white residue left on skin.

• a very small amount goes a long way

• long lasting all day, but not waterproof

• can also be used as a daily face moisturizer

• color of product differs depending on season (the creosote oil ingredient can range from light yellow to green)

• expect a small amount of browning slowly over time : it is the zinc oxide reacting with the creosote resin, darkening it over time.

this is the only sunscreen I can use on my face!

I've always had really sensitive skin and issues with products, particularly on my face. When I moved to Tucson a couple of years ago, I cycled through possibly every mineral face sunscreen on the market and while some of them are okay for me to use on my arms or legs, just about everything made my face skin react - redness, bumps, rashes, acne - you name it, it was on my face at some point. It was getting to the point where I was wondering if I was somehow allergic to zinc. Then I found Sonoran Rosie and this sunscreen. Something about the combo of moisture and sunscreen and the ingredients in this makes my face happy and helps me not get sunburned! I can't speak highly enough about Rosie's products in general, but this particular one really made an impact in my day to day life in the desert. I'm on my fourth container of it and just pray constantly it will never be discontinued :) thank you!

Wow! so happy to hear that our sunscreen has been helpful and hasnt caused you any of those frustrating issues! Creosote is an amazing plant. We will continue making Desert Sun as long as we possibly can, so no worries there. ;) Thank you for your continual support and happy to facilitate you being able to enjoy the desert without worry of being burned.

I am totally obsessed with this amazing sunscreen - I first purchased it at Mercado in Tucson, and I loved the fresh herbal scent - it really does smell like the desert after monsoon rains. But what I loved even more was that it HEALS skin - I had some redness and it must combat inflammation, since my skin has never looked so clear and healthy. I now use it as a combo sunscreen moisturizer, which is hard to do with commercial sunscreen, since the chemicals when they decay are actually themselves a carcinogenic, so you don't want that stuff absorbing into your skin like a moisturizer...but this is the perfect combo. Living in Tucson, I need a really strong SPF, and this has done the trick. I do notice when I sweat a lot it still works, although it goes down in efficacy - I usually put it on again maybe twice if I'm out hiking for 5-6 hours. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!

So great to hear!! Creosote bush is a powerful healing plant especially for the skin. Thank you!!

A repeat buyer product

My mom picked up the small container of this while in Tucson, and once she ran out she just had to get another one, this time the large size! I am definitely tempted to pick up my own because it seems to work really well as a protectant, and though my mom has some skin issues and sensitivities to perfumes/etc, she has never had issues with it (quite the opposite! She swears by it). Plus, it smells amazing. Really good stuff!

So glad she is enjoying it!!
