Babo Botanicals Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 with 100% Mineral Active Ingredients for Babies, Kids or Extra Sensitive Skin, Lightweight, Water Resistant & Fragrance Free, Multicolor, Unscented, 3 Fl Oz

I've tried quite a few sunscreens over the years, and this one has quickly become one of my favorites. I originally found it while I was browsing a website that listed the best mineral-based sunscreens to buy. As someone who lives in Florida and deals with intense sun pretty much year-round, I need something that actually works, and this sunscreen definitely delivers. One of the biggest things I appreciate is that it doesn't leave a noticeable white cast on my skin like a lot of mineral sunscreens do. It blends in surprisingly well and gives me great peace of mind when I'm spending time outdoors. The sun protection has been excellent, even during long days in the Florida heat. Another plus is the scent. It doesn't have that strong sunscreen smell that some products have. Instead, it's very light and neutral, which I really enjoy because it doesn't clash with any perfumes or lotions I wear. My only small complaint is that it can feel a little tacky on the skin after application. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, and honestly, I'd much rather deal with a slight tacky feeling than risk getting sunburned. For the level of protection and the lack of a white cast, it's a trade-off I'm completely willing to make. Overall, I'm really happy with this sunscreen and will definitely keep using it. If you're looking for a mineral sunscreen that provides great protection without the usual drawbacks, I think this one is worth trying.

Go to sunscreen for our beach vacations. One of the few that has great coverage and doesn’t turn you white. It’s pretty thick so you do go through it quickly if you reapply often. But it’s worth it!

Great product! Works well and no greasy or sticky feeling after applying it.

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.

Best Sunscreen for year round, not greasy Lasted 1 year

Have been using the Babo Botanicals Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 for a couple of years now and really impressed. I have light skin and lots of sun damage from the past so I'm very picky about what I use. Also, cannot stand the smell of non-mineral sunscreen, so love a good mineral that blends easily. When I use a smaller amount and do a section at a time, this one blends nicely with no white cast. Mineral sunscreens tend to be a little dry, but this one does not dry my skin out, and washes off easily. I have yet to get much sun at all with this stuff on, even in FL, which is a good thing!

I have a UV sensitivity, meaning I can't be exposed to sun for very long. So I always have sunblock in my purse. I prefer the mineral ones because of potential skin irritation (my skin can get very sensitive when in the sun). My biggest issue is most mineral sunblocks transfer the white film to clothes and well.. the car. Being the type of person who wears dark colored clothes (okay, black. Goths wear black) and having a black interior in my car (and I spend a lot of time in the car for work), getting white streaks all over everything is not ideal. I've noticed that this one doesn't transfer a lot of white onto my clothes or anything that I come in contact with. A little bit, yes. There will always be something. But they meant it when they said sheer. My last sunblock left behind a lot of white on everything. And it does seem to do its job for blocking UV rays. I'm not the best for assessing that because even in the 90°+ weather, I wear long sleeves and pants (the sunblock is for extra protection for the covered skin, protection for the little bit exposed skin). But on the little skin that's exposed, it seems to block as much as any other 50 SPF sunblock. I haven't seen much tanning, though I do avoid exposure at all costs, when I can't avoid it, the sunblock is working well.

I have been searching for a sunscreen that would be perfect for my child with eczema and sensitive skin. I figured this one would be ok because they supposedly have safer ingredients. We tried it and it gave my child the worst skin irritation. They have raised irritated bumps throughout their body. Definitely shouldn't be marketed as good for sensitive skin. I wish I would have checked the negative reviews before spending 19 dollars

Love that it’s EWG certified too and finally now delivers next day ! Perfect

Does not show white, which is good

The best sunscreen protection for me. Great for children too as the ingredients are so natural and harmless! It doesn’t leave skin white and is absorbed very quickly.

Finally a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast on darker skin and has an SPF of 50. You just have to shake it up a bit before you apply.

I love the gentleness of such a mighty physical sunblock! Nice cacao scent too! Highly recommended.
