Growing up near the beach we always had tropitone in the house, the scent alone makes you nostalgic! I don't use sunscreen as often as I did when I was younger (spending a lot more time indoors) but what what I can remember about tropitone is that it absorbs really fast, it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy with beach sand getting stuck to you like a magnet on a fridge and it did it's job pretty well with preventing sun burn, I burn blisters within 20 minutes if I don't use any. The price is really affordable as well, as I've noticed some sun protection can cost you an arm and a leg!
Now having moved to a beach town again I think I'd better stock up on some tropitone - the highest SPF please - as I already had a sunburn and we've been here just under 3 weeks!
