Review: Light white cast, blends well - I was recently influenced that I should be using mineral sunscreens to protect the environment as well as my skin from UV rays, so I've been on a search for the perfect mineral sunscreen. I saw online that it's difficult to find a sunscreen without white cast in the states, but I think this Alba lotion is as close as I've gotten. The body and face lotion is a little thicker than the lotion marketed as just for the face. The body lotion blends out easily, but there is a light white cast. I used baby oil mixed with my bronzer over the top after it had set in, and it's indistinguishable from a natural skin tone now (and a shimmer bronzer just looks good in the sun). One thing is that the picture in the listing says spf 50, but the one I received is spf 45. (but I was seriously using spf 15 with mica shimmer added for the last 20 years of my life, so I think I'm going to be fine with spf 45) I tried the cetaphil mineral face and body lotion, and it left a white cast. I tried the aveeno mineral face and body sunscreen and it was even more white and chalky. It made me feel scaly. I even tried the Oars and Alps mineral face and body lotion with jojoba oil, and that one left me with a white cast worse than all of them. For reference, I am pale, and I use self tan lotion, but these other mineral sunscreens made me look chalky. I also had my partner use all of these products, hopeful that they might work differently on other skintypes. I'm fair and acne prone, and my partner is darker in complexion with dry skin. I looked well blended compared to how ghostly he was. I was especially surprised because Oars and Alps was marketed toward outdoorsy men, and marketed as moisturizing with the jojoba oil. He and I both found the Oars + Alps products to be greasy, sticky, white, and transferable to clothes and anything else you touch. This alba lotion is in too small of packaging, and takes longer to apply than spray sunscreens, but it feels the best, looks the best, and especially I'm impressed with the face lotion. Review: Better now than before - I first bought this sunscreen in May 2022, and I got it again now, June 2024. The product is different now and some of the changes are noticeable in the pictures I've included: new look and shape to the bottle, weighs a bit less (great for TSA if you travel), the ingredients are slightly different. What you can't see in the photos is that it definitely smells better than it did before and it goes on your skin clearer than it used to; it would make me look like a ghost before, whereas now, it just makes my face shiny. It feels kind of dry when you apply it, definitely non-greasy. It still holds up great while sweating and swimming. And it definitely does its job of protecting from sunburns. Overall, I'm happy with the changes they've made and I would recommend it to anyone looking for durable mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin. ## Features - SUN CARE COLLECTION: Discover Alba Botanica Sunscreen by building out your sun care collection with sunscreen sprays, sunscreen lotions, mineral sunscreen SPF 50, and after-sun products - MINERAL SUNSCREEN LOTION: Includes one 3 fl oz tube of Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50, sunscreen for body - HYPOALLERGENIC SUNSCREEN: A lightweight and non-comedogenic facial sunscreen SPF 50 lotion featuring ingredients niacinamide, squalane, and vitamin E - SPF 50 SUN PROTECTION: Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, this water-resistant, broad-spectrum spf 50 sunscreen helps shield the skin from harmful UV rays - BEACH ESSENTIAL: Sunscreen 50 SPF made with 100% vegetarian ingredients and botanicals, our formula offers sun protection your skin will love ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I3DJ796 | | Active Ingredients | Zinc Oxide | | Additional Features | Water-resistant, Broad-spectrum, Hypoallergenic, Non-comedogenic, Fragrance-free, Contains beneficial skin care ingredients, Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #29,151 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #177 in Sunscreens | | Brand Name | Alba Botanica | | Color | Clear | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,105 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00724742004002 | | Item Dimensions | 1.9 x 2.96 x 4.96 inches | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Volume | 118 ml | | Item Weight | 3 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hain Celestial | | Manufacturer Part Number | HC-676 | | Material Features | Hypoallergenic | | Material Type Free | Fragrance Free | | Model Number | AL01063 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Size Name | 3 Ounce | | Product Benefits | SPF 45, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, water resistant, hydrating, anti-aging | | Recommended Uses For Product | Moisturizing | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | All | | Sun Protection Factor | 50 sun_protection_factor | | Target Use Body Part | Back | | UPC | 724742004002 | | Unit Count | 3 Ounce | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Item Weight:** 3 ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Benefits:** SPF 45, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, water resistant, hydrating, anti-aging - **Scent:** Unscented - **Sun Protection Factor:** 50 sun_protection_factor ## Images ![Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, Broad Spectrum, Fragrance Free, 3 Fl Oz (Packaging May Vary) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61px9c62AlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the active ingredients and their concentrations?

Application requires patience. *by G***H on June 1, 2023* Things that I loved about this sunscreen lotion: Excellent barrier against the sun rays No nasty chemicals in the ingredients list Ability to purchase a smaller bottle Price is competitive with similar items My child had NO reaction to this product while in the sun and water Things that I didn't care for: How thick it is (although it could be part of why it is excellent protection) How long it takes to apply, multiple times to rub in How chalky white it is on the skin before absorption My daughter has eczema. In her toddler and younger years, it was in the joints of the arms and legs. She is now 9 and began having breakouts on her face after we spent a day in the sun or at the beach. Pink, flaky areas would hurt, even on her eyelids. We took her to a couple of doctors and they suggested changing her sunscreen to one that is only mineral based. I was beginning to think she was allergic to the sun or sand. We have used this a couple of times now at the pool and beach and she has not had another episode. Although this goes on thick and you have to rub it in for a few minutes, I will continue using it on her face. I did purchase a different brand of mineral sunscreen for easier application on her body, but she wasn't having a severe reaction elsewhere. If your child has any eczema issues that are exacerbated with the sun, salt or chlorine, I would highly recommend this product for at least the face. It's worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Broad Spectrum SPF 50, Fragrance Free, 3 fl oz (Packaging May Vary) - Alba Botanica Sensitive Sunscreen Spray for Face and Body, Fragrance-Free, Broad Spectrum SPF 50, Water Resistant, 5 fl. oz.
