It also has soothing and calming effects on the skin, reducing redness and irritation. Did I mention that another factor which led me to buying this sunscreen was because it comes in a big tube? 100ml of sunscreen is quite a substantial amount if you compare the Holika Holika sun gel with other sunscreens on the market that have similar features. However, before we discuss the price point, I should tell you why I fell in love with this product.

These were some of the factors I was considering before I invested in a sunscreen. Additionally, I wanted a product with SPF 50 and above, and one with a PA mark of ++++.

It is actually a very good base for your foundation and neither will you feel it on the skin even if you layer more products on top of it.

I will mention that ever since I started using the sun gel, I am confident of being protected from the harsh sun rays. I am no longer wary of sunburns, hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone. This is whether I am out on a sunny day, or caught up in a time of day when the sun is scorching and there’s no escape.This sunscreen is a mineral sunscreen.

Irritation risk The Holika Holika Aloe Soothing Essence Sun Gel comes in a 100ml green tube that has a tight lid. The tube feels light in the hand and it is very convenient to have, especially for outdoors reapplication on a sunny/cloudy day. With how it is sealed you don’t need to worry about it spilling. What you will love actually is the applicator, which allows you to squeeze out enough product without wasting.

I wouldn’t say it is the most affordable sunscreen, but its worth every penny for its quality and longevity.
