5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage and minimal to no white cast
As a medium brown Filipino guy, this mineral sunscreen goes on nicely. Now at first, it does leave a noticeable white cast. But after rubbing it in circular motions for a minute or so, it blends in with my skin just fine. After waiting the recommended 15 minutes before sun exposure, any hint of the white cast is completely unnoticeable. Even when reapplying 2 hours later, as long as you rub it in well, it absorbs into the skin just fine.The texture and consistency is not chalking or gritty, but rather it’s smooth and silky and it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing sunscreen. I really appreciate some additional active ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamen E, and Squalene that help moisturize the skin. So if you’re looking for a more minimalist skin care routine, you can use this without needing a face moisturizer before hand. So far, I’ve had no break outs or any negative reactions, but do be aware it does have niacinamide if you’re sensitive to that particular active. I also love that it’s water resistant and doesn’t sting or burn the eyes when I sweat. This will definitely be a repeat purchase throughout the year.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen for FACE! Love it!
I saw this product @ a local store one day while shopping, scanned the barcode w/ my Bolo app & found it available on Subscribe & Save for $5 less! I love when that happens! 💕I already knew I liked the “alba botanica” brand, so I felt fairly certain it would be a good purchase & I was not wrong!I’m very concerned about putting chemicals on my skin (Fun Fact: we absorb a large percentage of stuff we topically apply to our skin & it ends up in our bloodstream! Yay!)So I prefer mineral sunscreens & I always check the EWG list - this one rates as SAFE.My husband & I have to spend a lot of time in the sun for work, and both have VERY fair skin. Although we wear as much UPF 50+ clothing as possible, it’s hard to keep all of your skin covered all of the time. Plus it gets HOT 🥵So far I’ve been happy w/ this one.In years past we bought Ethical Zinc (which we loved - it’s completely safe, smells like Vanilla, has very few ingredients, and feels more like good skincare than a typical sunscreen) but I recently realized their price went up by more than twice what it was before!So, finding an alternative saves us money, and I’m happy about that.This one doesn’t seem to have a scent & feels pretty good on my skin. I was able to apply it & then apply a non-SPF foundation over it w/ no problems (just wait a few min first if U have time & also use a setting spray after). A primer beforehand might be useful, but I haven’t tried that yet…
4.0 out of 5 stars A good product
I like that it is made of natural ingredients and not a lot of chemicals. Being that it has zinc in it, it takes a little more rubbing to get it all rubbed in clear. I bought this for the face because I do not like to use sprays on my face. Like I said, it takes a little more effort to rub in, That is why I gave it four stars instead of five.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to rub in
Finally a sunscreen that is not too pricey with better ingredients! It is white at first but rubs in nicely. It also doesn’t make me break out!
3.0 out of 5 stars A little too greasy for me
I needed a new daily facial sunscreen as the one I was using was discontinued. I've liked alba products in the past because they're cruelty-free and not expensive. I wanted a mineral sunscreen so this seemed to check the boxes but unfortunately I don't care for it. All other mineral sunscreens I've used have been matte and a bit tacky (which makes them work well as makeup primers) but this one isn't matte. I had thought to try one that would leave me a little more dewey as matte can leave you looking a little dull but this comes off more greasy than dewey. I've tried it over a couple of different moisturizers as well as alone. With moisturizer it's greasy and without it's not moisturizing enough. It does well under makeup so at least it has that going for it. Unfortunately the search for a new sunscreen will continue.
1.0 out of 5 stars Another Manufacturer Sleazes Out
I have used this product for years after doing extensive research to find a sunscreen for my face that has the least chemicals but doesn't leave me looking like a clown. In fact, I have been so happy with it, that I may have left a great review on it. That was then, this is now. Imagine my surprise & disgust to find my latest purchase completely changed. They have added so much water to it that when you put it on your face it is like you put it on wet skin. The white mineral base smears into patches that are impossible to rub in without major effort (your future plastic surgeon will be cheering this development, yes?$$$), because the original oil like composition of the product doesn't mix with all the water it now contains. I can't imagine even a professional clown would be able to make this work.....I don't know about the rest of you, but I am SO DONE with the current trend of manufacturers of every ilk sneaking, sleazing, making things smaller, changing ingredients, hoping we're too stupid or addicted to their stuff to care....I can't wait for the backlash which certainly should come.....:)
5.0 out of 5 stars OMGeee!!!
I finally found it!! This is an amazing product. Seriously!! I had kind of given up on sunscreen for my face because my skin is so sensitive and breaks out with all sunscreen products. I’m not a sun tanner, Im a sun burner. My skin burns very easily I just started buying hats to protect my face from the sun. But I have fallen in love with the Alba Botanical products so I figured I’d give it one more try with this product. It goes on very nicely. NO white build up at all! My face is generally on the oily side but this product did not add to that. It absorbs nicely into the skin and did not irritate my face at all!! I can use this before applying my makeup or just being fresh faced while enjoying the outdoors. I would highly recommend this sunscreen to EVERYONE!! I love this product and ALL Alba Botanical products!
