By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

EltaMD UV Pure SPF 47 Kids Sunscreen - 4oz
I have brown skin. Will it leave a white ashy look?
Yes, this is a Zinc Oxide sun tan lotion. That means it intentionally is not meant to absorb into the skin like other chemical sun screens, but instead is meant to form a physical barrier on the top layer of skin. Adults tend to get the one that absorbs since it looks better, kids typically (or adults who worry about chemicals) tend to get this type since while its the stereo typical white face, thats what it was designed for. Depending on SPF level and quality of the product some certainly are better or worse than others.
Would this be appropriate for daily moisturizer underneath make up? Would it be too thick/greasy?
It's too thick and leaves a white residue. I like the tint EltaMD for under make up that one is wonderful leaves your skin soft and covers up small imperfections so it can be worn alone or under make up. Hope that helps
Is it Reef safe
It is not reef safe according to guidelines set out my the state of Hawaii. Titanium Dioxide. This mineral does not biodegrade and is found to react in warm seawater to form hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to all sea life.
Does this sunscreen have Phenoxyethanol on it, that ingredient is present in other elta sunscreen I had and that irritates my eyes? Thanks!
No
