Babo Botanicals Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Natural Zinc Oxide - Extra Sensitive Skin - Lightweight - Water Resistant - Fragrance-Free - EWG Verified- Sheer application

I absolutely love this sunscreen. I used to use organic Goddess Garden sunscreen, but I believe they discontinued it during the pandemic as I can’t find it anywhere. I researched organic sunscreens and this one was recommended by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Its best attributes are that it goes on like lotion, it is not white or sticky, but most of all works! I have very, very, very fair skin and have traveled all over the world with this, and have not gotten burned, thank goodness! If I am going swimming, I make sure to reapply every two hours on the dot and it works like a charm!

My wife is a red head and most sunscreen doesn’t work that good not to mention all the bad chemicals in it. This product doesn’t have all of those bad chemicals and it works great for her.

We LOVE this sunscreen! It works so well and we love that it isn’t toxic. It’s a little thick, but it’s great because you don’t have to apply it as often. Even at the beach! Which is a win for us and our 7 year old who gets tired of us coating her down. I wish they had more options of SPF levels. It is pricey for a small bottle, but worth it to know I’m not putting toxic cream on my family!

I found this sunscreen because I was concerned about the harmful ingredients found in many other popular sunscreens. I looked up ratings on EWG and found the handful of top rated suncreens and this lotion was the highest rating you could get for a relatively affordable price in a lotion formula.PROS: Goes on well, not too greasy or thick. I thought the smell was just fine - I had seen some reviews saying the smell was horrible but I didn't experience that at all. It worked great on the kids and adults and seemed to be effective in the pool for a few hours in the sun and water.CONS: It's a smaller bottle at a higher price point - but I think that's what you end up paying for something that's higher quality and safe. I think we'll go through this bottle pretty quick, it's a bit small, especially for a family with kids. I did notice a slight white cast once in the water, but it wasn't excessive and it seemed to absorb in better with time.I will continue to keep buying this sunscreen and also will be looking for a safe sunscreen stick. I could see myself using this lotion for faces and finding a stick for the rest of the body, but until then I'll use this one all over.

I am very pale and NEED sunscreen wherever sunny. I prefer mineral sunscreens as they do not ruin my white clothing like chemical ones do AND if I'm near water they are safe. This is the only mineral sunscreen I've tried, that actually BLENDS into my fair skin and prevents any burns - though I do tan through it and does not cause any rash after day upon day of use!

Use less than you think as it goes a long way!

All I will say about this sunscreen is I brought my pale-ass family of 4 (2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby) to Hawaii for a month. We used this sunscreen every day and got zero sunburns!Okay, I’ll say more. I love that I felt comfortable enough with the ingredients to use it on my children. It’s a mineral sunscreen so it does take effort to rub in, but it was worth it for us. We would just apply it to the kids sans-clothes and then dress them once it had soaked in. It’s definitely water resistant because we did a lot of swimming (making sure to reapply it after swimming was done).

This doesn’t work!!! I bought this because it is eco friendly but after several applications our entire family got extremely burned, to the point of blistering. It was like putting on regular lotion, no sun protection at all! I do not recommend.
