Advantages: Not slimey, sticky, smelly, doesnt clog, great for kids

Disadvantages: Price

For years my pale skin has burned very easily and I have been caught out on numerous occassions between applications of sunscreen. When I saw this product I thought it too good to be true, but it really does provide great protection for 6 hours! I am amazed and unless Soltan bring out a new and improved version I will never buy any other sunscreen product. I use it on my 2 year old also, and he has had no burns or problems whatsoever, except that he has to sit still twice a day (which is better than 6 times a day for both of us!)
For the last few years I have also suffered prickly heat, which is even more unsightly than sunburn. I first tried Soltan a few years ago and I have not looked back since, for me their products are the best. My only disappointment was that they would 'run' with sweat which would sting my eyes. Thankfully Soltan Once does not do that and ticks all other boxes for me which are:

It stays put
I can use it on my face without clogging up my skin or looking like a ghost
It provides hours of protection in one application
It isnt greasy, shiny or sticky
It doesnt smell
It prevents allergic reactions in my skin
I can see it wash off at the end of the day (strangely this is important to me)
It wipes off fabric very easily

I have recommended this to a friend of mine and she has also said she will never use anything else. All in all Soltan Once is a little pricely but it is well worth every penny to us.

Summary: Great for me and my kid, covers all my requirements
