    First impressions

    This sun cream smelt great and came in a handy-sized pot. The cream looked quite thick.

    Overview of performance

    Gold Label Sun Guard performed very well once on the skin, but was much easier to apply once softened and warmed by your hands first. The horses were slightly awkward about having it put on, but I don’t know whether it was the smell or the consistency of the cream. However, it did stay on all day, provided full coverage and soothed any existing sunburn.

    Harriet’s likes and dislikes

    I really liked how it only required one application and you could trust it to stay on all day. I did wonder whether it was the smell or consistency that put the horses off it, but then it could have been down to the way I applied it or that one did have a little bit of sunburn already, meaning he was more sensitive during the application process.

    Verdict

    This sun cream took more effort to apply than the others I tested, but it was great once it was on and really lasted.
