Babo Botanicals Sheer Zinc Continuous Sunscreen Spray SPF30 - Natural Zinc Oxide - Extra Sensitive Skin - Water Resistant - Vegan - Fragrance-Free - Air-Powered Spray - For all ages

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.

This stuff is great. Normally when buying a green sunscreen, I have to sacrifice the aerosol feature and default to a lotion. This has a very neutral scent and sprays easily and evenly. It is zinc-based, so it will leave a white haze on your skin. I did need to rub it in after spraying, which helped minimize the white hue. It does love bathing suits, so be prepared to also rub the zinc powder into your bathing suit, otherwise it will be spray painted white. I used this while tubing and did not get burned--just nice and toasty-tan. The biggest downside is that it has a very slight stickiness/tackiness to it. I showered twice before I finally felt like it was all off my skin. But at least it didn't come off in the river!

I just started using this product and I wanted to write because I thought some of the reviews were mixed when I read them. I used to use Zinka's spray but they changed their formula and now it is a greasy mess, that never dries do not buy that, I wrote the company and they do not care. First and foremost this bottle is heavy so I am not sure if the shaker ball is heavy or what but a 6oz bottle should not be this heavy so that might be a marketing ploy, hope I don't run out and just have a shaker ball. I am super white and have great skin which is super surprising as my childcare was being dumped off at the local pool in TX without sunscreen during the summers, but I attribute that to using a zinc based sunscreen for the past 10-15 years. I use this everyday, rain or shine as I live in TX and it never rains long and winter here has sunshine too. I use it on my face, hands and decolletage. Yes, my face, under my make up or not. Here are the issues, this makes a super white paste that does not fade into the skin if you go too heavy. So you have to rub it in and even then there is a whiteness, and I am already a white gal. I too am longing for a day of clear zinc sunscreen. But none on the market I have found that are not an oily mess that cause breakouts. I like the dry texture of this spray, and if I spray a thin layer I do not need to rub, so that is perfect for me on my face as most make up I put over it has spf protection anyways, so no problem there, and this stuff stays on 12 hours or more. I think the cost is high, I used to pay around $10 a bottle for zinka but it was not as heavy as this so I will see how long this lasts. But so far except for the cost and the having to rub it in I really like this product.

Title: Exceptional Sunscreen for the Whole Family! I recently tried Babo Botanicals sunscreen, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! With 7 of my 8 kids using it, along with my husband and me, we had a fantastic day at the beach and the pool without a single sunburn in sight. The formula goes on smoothly, leaving no sticky residue behind. It provided excellent protection throughout the day, and I love that it's made with natural ingredients. This sunscreen has become a staple in our family outings, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for effective sun protection. Five stars all the way! 🌞🌊

I love this sunscreen and have been carrying a can in my bag all this summer. To address a couple of common complaints: “It’s not sheer at all”: “Sheer” does not mean the same thing as “clear,” people. This spray is white and absolutely does rub in to be sheer as advertised. It leaves a slight (“sheer”) white tinge after rubbing in, but it’s not super noticeable on my pale skin. It might be more problematic on darker skin tones. (Also, it should be noted that there is literally no such thing as clear mineral sunscreen- you will have to choose between a product like this and a clear one containing endocrine disruptors. I’d rather look a little pasty, personally.) “My whole family used this and got burned”: You need to shake the can before spraying, as per the instructions. These sprays are made of zinc (the active, protective ingredient) in a liquid suspension. If you spray without shaking the can first, you risk getting all liquid and no zinc particles, and then yes, you will burn. I’m pretty sensitive and this sunscreen has not failed me yet. “It’s hard to get off”: This is true. It is hard to get off. But why would you want a sunscreen to come off easily?? This stuff is water resistant to an impressive degree. In the evening if it takes a vigorous scrubbing to get it off, I consider the exfoliation a bonus. Also, my nozzles have worked just fine and the cans last me quite a good amount of time.

I was buying only this sunscreen for my daughter. She struggles with eczema and really sensitive skin. I thought since it was so natural and specified sensitive skin it was the way to go. It did a good job protecting her from the sun but it would dry her out so bad. Worse than anything she’s ever used. It’s a little greasy and I found that do have to rub it in so it defeats the spray option. It will also leave you noticeably white if you don’t really rub it in.

Okay, I'm going to start with the fact that I love this stuff. I really was looking for something natural and safe and this is it. It smells like nothing, maybe a faint creaminess that I love. Zinc is really the best/safe sunscreen you can use, but think of lifeguards with the white strips on their faces...that is zinc, so how this company got it in a can with an arosol spray I will never know but, kuddos to them. You will absolutely need to rub it in or you will look like a ghost and if you are on the water it would be wise to reapply BUT remember, this is you NOT putting toxic chemicals on your body. The thing I like the most is that I can spray it on my hands and rub it all over my face...I close my eyes and slather it all over, with zero worries that it will sting my eyes. I missed a whole day on vacation once because when I got in the water, the sunscreen I used on my face got into my eyes and my eyes burned and watered all day. You will not have a problem with this. I recommend making sure you wash your face when you are done in the sun because I could see this clogging pores, but no matter what you use you should do that. If you are using sunscreen every day or often, I strongly suggest you stick with something safe like this.

Great sunscreen - it really works when applied. I swim outdoors at mid day - in Florida - and this keeps me protected. One caution - overspray and staining on outdoor cushions. My son sprayed this inside his car and it coated the interior in a way that is nearly impossible to wash off. It also ends up on my boat cushions and even the map screens. It’s just awful on anything that isn’t your skin.
