Babo Botanicals Sheer Zinc SPF 30 Natural Continuous Fragrance Free Sunscreen Spray, 6 Fluid Ounce

I have tried many many Zinc based sunscreens - this one is great Pros: - continuous spray works well - lasts a LONG time - water resistance seems to be fantastic (in hot summer day, playing in water all day, toddler looks great) - allows a tan even for fairer skin, and no burn cons: - as others had mentioned, it does spray on more like a lotion than a spray which means you need to rub it in. i spray it on my toddlers arms, and then rub it in...you'd never know it was there, takes but a moment. reviews that say people are painted white - seemingly do not have a moment to rub it in.

This is my favorite mineral sunscreen because it’s the only spray one that actually has decent ingredients! My ONLY complaint is that it comes out fast and goes quickly for that reason. For the price, it does stink that it goes fairly quickly if you are using it every day. But I will still buy it because I do really like how it rubs in well and protection is great.

The texture is light and absorbs well into my skin. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I sweat a lot and the texture doesn’t become greasy (I use it only on my body). I have really pale skin so I can’t tell if it makes me look whiter hehe. The sprayer is perfect.

First let me start by saying I have an inflammatory condition so I needed a sunscreen that didn’t contribute to making my symptoms worse like many of the other sunscreens with harsh chemicals. This sunscreen is phenomenal! We just got back from a week in the Caribbean sun in Antigua/Barbuda, and I did not burn once! But there are some key things you must know before buying so that you can apply it properly and get the best protection. First, you must shake the can for about 20 seconds before each use. This way it mixes the sunscreen and applies it correctly. If you spray it and it comes out clear you have not shaken it up enough. It should spray solid white. Second, rub it in quickly after you spray it because it dries fast. Note that this does leave a white cast, but it’s not as bad as everyone says. I have light olive skin (half Hispanic, half white) and I tan easily but I also burn easily. When I applied it, it went on white but I just took the time and rub it in really well. The white cast will fade a little once it dries but it will also sit on top of the skin which is helpful to know when you need to re-apply. I applied in the morning about 20 min before getting in the sun. *Apply before putting on your swim suit! If it gets on your swimwear, it will leave white marks*. The sunscreen stayed on through pool and ocean use without rubbing off. I only needed to reapply on the tops of my shoulders once in the afternoon. Also, this is not to say that you won’t burn. While I was in the intense sun, I also spent time in the shade throughout the day just to make sure I was giving my skin breaks from the heat. But for being in the sun like I was, I am VERY impressed with this sunscreen. And for it only being spf 30, it protected me better than expected in the harsh Caribbean sun. I usually come home from vacations with a little burn but absolutely none this time! Just be sure to take time to apply it correctly and you should be good! I’d rather have a slight, minimal white cast than be burnt and miserable. It’s worth it! I’ll be using this stuff from now on.

Pros: doesnt smell like you're wearing sunscreen, all natural, not oily/sticky. Cons: for dark skinned people it sometimes didn't blend entirely so I looked ashy but not always. All in all would recommend
