HOW IT WORKS

Cascara sagrada, or sacred bark, is one of Nature’s Sunshine’s most popular and best-selling herbal products. The bark has been used by cultures around the world as a nutritional support for proper waste elimination.
Cascara sagrada acts as an herbal laxative, influences intestinal contraction and promotes the emptying of the colon.

OUR CASCARA SAGRADA

We work with experienced cultivators who have harvested cascara sagrada by hand for generations. Wild-crafted and sustainably sourced in the Pacific northwest, our cascara is harvested each year from mid-May to August from trees between 10-20 years old.  After harvest, the fresh cascara bark is ground into 3–4-inch sections and then kiln-dried to age before being ground again. Cascara trees flourish along coastal regions between British Columbia and northern California.

In fact, cascara trees naturally fill in logged off areas after timber companies cut down forests. The timber companies often replant with conifers, but Mother Nature does her own replanting with cascara to reestablish a more natural biodiversity as the forest regrows.

THE STORY BEHIND CASCARA SAGRADA (CAPSULES)

Since its discovery by Spanish settlers in the 1600s, Rhamnus purshiana bark has been used as a natural laxative throughout the world. Native American tribes shared this natural wonder with the Spaniards, who named it cascara sagrada, or “holy bark,” in honor of its effectiveness. By the late 1800s, cascara was being exported overseas. The explosion of its use eventually led to overharvesting in the 1900s. But this resilient species of the buckthorn family has made a resurgence, growing naturally throughout the Pacific northwest.
Through the early 2000s, cascara was included in many over-the-counter products in the US. And it’s still used throughout Europe, having been approved for use by the German Commission E. Ranking among our top-selling products domestically and internationally, Cascara Sagrada remains a popular choice for intestinal support the world over.

Excellent skincare for everyone
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As an African American who’s always been serious about protecting my skin—especially during outdoor workouts—finding a sunscreen that actually works for deeper skin tones without leaving that embarrassing gray or purple cast has been a journey. Neutrogena’s Sport Face Sunscreen SPF 70+ has been one of the more surprising wins for me. Texture & Application The first thing I noticed is the texture—lightweight, smooth, and not greasy. A lot of sunscreens for the face tend to feel heavy or oily, especially in heat. This one settles quickly and doesn’t make my skin look shiny. But the real test? Does it leave a white cast on darker skin? I’ll be honest: when you first put it on, you may see a slight cast, but after rubbing it in well and giving it a minute, it blends way better than most high-SPF sunscreens. On my medium-deep tone, it ends up looking natural. Performance During Sweat This is where the “Sport” in Sport Face shows up. Whether I’m out for a run, playing ball, or just in the sun on a hot day, the sunscreen stays put. It doesn’t drip, sting my eyes, or feel like it’s melting off. Even after sweating, my face doesn’t feel slippery or clogged. Oil-Free but Not Drying African American skin can be oily in the T-zone but still struggle with dryness around the cheeks or beard area. This sunscreen manages the balance well. It doesn’t cause breakouts, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight. Protection At SPF 70+, I feel fully protected—especially important for darker skin since hyperpigmentation is real. One thing many people don’t realize is that melanin helps, but it doesn’t block UVA/UVB damage. This sunscreen has helped me avoid tanning unevenly and has reduced flare-ups of dark spots. Final Thoughts Overall, Neutrogena Sport Face SPF 70+ is one of the better sunscreens for darker skin tones that actually want high SPF without the ghostly look. It’s sweat-resistant, lightweight, and reliable. If you’re active, outdoors often, or just want strong protection that blends reasonably well on melanin-rich skin, this is a solid pick.

SUN-sational Sunscreen
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen has become a staple in my daily routine! The Neutrogena Sport Face SPF 70+ goes on smoothly without feeling greasy or heavy, and it doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin. It stays put even when I’m sweating or in the water, which is perfect for workouts and outdoor days. My face feels protected all day, and it hasn’t irritated my skin at all. Definitely worth the price for reliable, strong sun protection!

🚨 Listen up Black and brown-skinned girls, this is for US! APPLICATION is the key!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Liquid Drops
As the line goes from Love Jones, "Let me break it down, so it can forever and consistently be broke." It bugs me when a great product gets mediocre reviews when the problem isn't the product, it's the application. I saw another review by a brown woman like me where her face is ghostly white and she claims this isn't for us. The review is still up for you to go find yourself. I almost didn't purchase because of that review but I'm glad I decided to see for myself. First, physical sunscreens, like this one, are more effective than the chemical ones. Additionally, I am 57 years old and have tried a LOT of chemical facial sunscreen products over the years and even my favorites like the Neutrogena SPF Serum 60 makes my eyes tear. Even if I avoid placing near my eyes, once I'm out and about if the wind blows wrong or I have a little hot flash sweat, my eyes are tearing for the remainder of the day until I get home and relieve myself by washing my face. So there's the backstory. This sunscreen right here is so good that I did something I almost never do. I recorded a review video without being all "done up". I had to do it on the spot because I'm that impressed. The problems people are having with the severe white cast is because they're applying way too much and rubbing instead of tapping it in. That's the key takeaway from this review. First, your skin has to be moisturized. I drink approximately 80 ounces of water MINIMUM a day, but my skincare regimen is heavy on the moisture. So in the morning, for instance, I use Hanskin Bubble Pop skin cleanser, the the Hanskin essence, and I also use 2 actives, alpha arbutin and niacinamide. I finish up with Visible Difference Replenishing HydraGel Complex. So by the time I get to the sunscreen step, my face is dewy and ready. Then, I SHAKE THE SUNSCREEN BOTTLE AGGRESSIVELY for like 15 seconds. There's a little ball inside the bottle to mix it well and the product is thin like nail polish so it needs to be mixed every time you apply. I drop LITERALLY 3 DROPS OF THE SUNSCREEN DROPS ON THE BACK OF MY HAND. Then I tap just a little bit (see videos) onto a fingertip and begin TAPPING the product onto my face, one area at a time. I admit, yes, it takes a little time, but so? I'm about the long-term health of my skin, which means spending a little extra time when I have to. I'd say to apply it to my entire face takes all of 5 to 7 minutes which is the only step in my morning skincare regimen that takes time. That's not a big deal. When I'm done, there is the very sliiiiightest white cast but it is absolutely minimal. It's not even a bother. I admit I wouldn't feel confident leaving home with just this sunscreen and no makeup. Brown ladies know what I mean. Even if it's the slightest white cast, you see it in the harsh light of day and office lighting. It's just what it is, titanium and zinc do that to us and there's no perfect way around it if you want the benefits of physical sunscreen. But here's the thng. I don't wear liquid foundation and most days I just use the Fenty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch concealer(shade 385) under my eyes and to cover the blemishes on my cheeks. This sunscreen plays nicely with my concealer. But for the video I took for this review, I skipped concealer altogether just so you could see me spots and all. What I DO have on is just the slightest-teensy dusting of Fenty Pro Filt'r Powder Foundation (shade 385) and that's all I need to conceal any white casting to show you how I'm street-ready with a full face of sunscreen on underneath. That's it. Nothing else needed. I don't look like a ghost and I'm standing right in front of floor to ceiling windows with natural light. No filters, no AI. Do not try to save time by dropping it directly onto your face and then rubbing it in. It will never work, no matter your skin tone. If you have patience and take a few extra minutes to apply it properly, you can feel confident using this high quality, reasonably priced physical sunscreen. Lastly, I double cleanse at night with Hanskin PHA oil cleanser first to remove every trace of sunscreen from my face. This stuff is waterproof and if you don't believe me, put a drop on the back of your hand and then hold it under fully running water. It does not move, which is great for warmer weather and girls like me who have hot flashes. I'm not mad about it. I just feel better loosening it up with an oil cleanser before washing it away with my Hanskin Bubble Pop (or whatever other cleanser I'm using for the evening which is sometimes the Hanskin Vitamin C Glow Powder). My skin has not been irritated, I've seen no additional breakouts and bonus, my actives are working better. It's like night and day from just using the chemical sunscreen I've used for years. No teary eyes, very comfortable to wear and no scent. If you use it as I've described here, this bottle will last you a minimum of 6 months, likely more. If you're using more than 7 drops for your entire face, you're using too much. Whew! I've given you all I've got. Now, go forth and be beautiful. Prevention beats correction every time.
