Alba Botanica Sunscreen for Face and Body, Sport Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Broad Spectrum SPF 45, Water Resistant and Fragrance-Free, 4 fl. oz. Tube

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.

Good product. Thanks.Great product. Thanks.

Exactly as expected and very effective. I don't believe the zinc is "non nano" but it is zinc. This is a great zinc sunscreen-- of course it's not that easy to spread because no true zinc sunscreens really are (except for some "shear" face lotions etc. with less zinc in them). I got it primarily because I only use zinc sunscreen, but also because it's generally reef-safe (albeit probably nano).

I like it

Things that I loved about this sunscreen lotion:Excellent barrier against the sun raysNo nasty chemicals in the ingredients listAbility to purchase a smaller bottlePrice is competitive with similar itemsMy child had NO reaction to this product while in the sun and waterThings 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 inHow chalky white it is on the skin before absorptionMy 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.
