Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF40 - Natural Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide - 70% Organic Ingredients - Raspberry Oil & Aloe Vera - Fragrance Free - For Face - For all ages

I know this isn’t the most popular sunblock out there, but I’m so glad I found it. I have tried many, many brands, and I even bought Babo once before, used it, wasn’t all that impressed, and went back to trying some of the same things from before and others that were new to me. I’ve tried ones recommended by my dermatologist. There are the typical ones that are supposed to work for sensitive skin. I’ve tried Neutrogena (several formulas), Blue Lizard, Aveena, Mary Kay, No Name for Faces, Vanicream, CeraVe, and more. I would go back to Babo every so often, but I’m going to be honest, that I didn’t care for the smell, and I didn’t like the way it applied. It’s not horrible, but it can take some effort to get it to blend in.I’m in my 60s, and I was having an awful, really awful time with my skin constantly breaking out. It was especially bad on my nose. Sometimes I had little red bumps that were watery and other times whiteheads. I was using a generic retin-a AND a clay mask, which kind of helped, but it never lasted. There were days when I avoided using sunblock, and I would still break out! What I think happened was I wasn’t giving my skin enough time to get over reacting to all the chemicals from the other formulas.CeraVe was the one that seemed to take me over the edge. It gets wonderful reviews, but it made my skin worse than ever. I knew I had less problems in the past when I used Babo, so I decided to give it another try. But this time I stuck with it for awhile, and I didn’t use anything else. Well, I’m here to tell you that my skin has really cleared up. It’s the best it’s been in years. I had one little bump on my nose today, but it’s been weeks since that’s happened. The whiteheads I was constantly fighting along the sides of my nose (right in the crease) have dramatically improved. I’m ecstatic to finally have nice skin again!!Please don’t ever change this formula.

My system can't tolerate fragrances or scented products. My face has broken-out with a rash and stung from several sensitive-skin sunscreen products that I've tried, even those "recommended by dermatologists". The rash would last for several days. I read a few reviews for this brand. The ratings were favorable. I checked out the company's website and liked what I read. I decided to take a chance and bought it. I'm glad I did. My skin didn't breakout and it didn't sting. It has a very faint distinctive smell of zinc oxide combined with titanium dioxide but it dissipates quickly. So far, I'm able to tolerate it. It glides on smoothly but that may be because I followed a recommendation in another review to put your moisturizer on first. I wait a few minutes for my skin to absorb it before applying the sunscreen. I can't say if this sunscreen does or doesn't moisturize if used alone. My face looks a little bit pasty at first--I don't use a lot--but after a few minutes I smooth it out and the color is gone. This was another recommendation a read in a review. I'm very happy that I discovered babo Botanicals.

I used this for years and my very sensitive, redness-prone skin loved it, but the last few bottles I bought have been so thick that it was difficult to gently apply to my face!I switched to Babo Botanicals Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Sensitive Skin, and it is a little more liquid consistency. My skin seems to be ok using it, even though it isn't specifically designed for face.

I love this product and will stick with this brand - its easy to apply and spread into my face and arms for good coverage against sunburn, and it does not have chemicals I avoid putting on my body. The cream starts out white-ish on the face but easy to rub in.

Product doesn’t blend easily. It leaves white cream and you look like a ghost. It may be effective for a day at the beach but not great for daily wear with your makeup.

The lotion was lumpy when put on the skin and difficult to smoothly apply. I checked the expiration date which was 06-2027. Otherwise it appeared to work well.

Babo Botanicals has great chemical-free and EWG-verified products that I started using a few years ago when becoming conscious of how many toxic ingredients are put into our everyday products.So I got this for an upcoming vacation but was disappointed with this sunscreen in particular for 2 main reasons:(1) It doesn't blend easily; you have to REALLY rub it in to get your face to not look chalk white and, even after, there's still a slight whitish, ghostly looking tint. Not flattering.(2) It clogged my pores and every time I'd put it on, I'd have to do 2-3 rounds of an intense face scrub later to try to get that all that stuff out of my pores which were not happy!I'd give this 1 star but added 1 more because I do enjoy other products from Babo Botanicals and I don't want to throw them under the bus for 1 product that didn't work for me.It's not something I want to use again and unfortunately the return window for this closed after I got back from my vacation so can't get a refund through Amazon.

I'm using it well. It doesn't irritate the skin. I like this kind of white charcoal sunscreen, but my skin looks good.
