i will buy it again
’m completely obsessed with this mineral sunscreen! Zinc oxide is the MVP here—it offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays, which is exactly what my skin needs. I’ve tried so many sunscreens over the years, and I’ve always been wary of ones with harsh chemicals that irritate my skin. But this one? It’s totally different. The zinc oxide is gentle and soothing, so I don’t have to worry about redness or breakouts.What really stands out is how lightweight it feels—it absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, which is so important to me since I have a combination skin type. And let’s talk about that white cast—thankfully, this sunscreen doesn’t leave any of that! It blends seamlessly, leaving my skin looking natural and glowing, not ghostly.I’ve also noticed that the anti-inflammatory properties of the zinc help calm any irritation or redness, especially after a long day in the sun. It’s like a little extra skincare boost, which I wasn’t expecting! The best part is that it's reef-safe and made with clean, sustainable ingredients. I love knowing that my sunscreen isn’t just good for my skin, but it’s also better for the environment. It's cruelty-free, too, which is a huge plus.I really appreciate how versatile this sunscreen is. Whether I’m at the beach, hiking, or just running errands, it gives me that reliable protection I need without the hassle. It’s truly a must-have in my daily routine. If you're looking for a mineral sunscreen that’s effective, gentle, and planet-friendly, this is it!

Clean & Effective
This sunscreen uses only non-nano zinc oxide as the active ingredient, and nourishing aloe as the primary inactive ingredient, yes, yes, yes! It goes on smoothly and does not leave white residue. I wear it under makeup-- over my entire face, including eyelids and lips, and have never had it run into my eyes.

Eczema prone skin APPROVED! 👍
Yes, we do use shade and protective clothes at first place. My daughter’s eczema can vary from mild form, when skin looks dry and flaky, to severe form, when skin can be extremely irritated and red. Our dermatologist isn’t recommending using sunscreen for her, but there are situations when it’s better to use sunscreen than use nothing. Since her skin is more vulnerable to the sun’s damaging rays it was a challenge finding sunscreen that’ll work for her.Babo Botanicals was recommended to me in AT community. I tested it before use for allergic reaction such as rash, any form of breakout on the skin, itchiness, etc. So far so good! 🙏PROS:It is SPF 50, which is perfect, and fragrance free. It’s non irritating, hypoallergenic sunscreen with mineral based ingredients. It doesn’t dry out skin, applies easily. I’d say even moisturizes and soothes! I usually apply it on top of Mustela Stelatopia balm.CONS:I wish the texture was lighter and not so greasy, you have to heavily wash it off your skin with soap. It is advertised as sheer, but still leaves white sticky layer on the skin and doesn’t provide weightless feel. It also stained our stroller, cleaning up with soap didn’t remove the stains. One more flaw - it’s not alcohol free.BOTTOM LINE:This is a good sunscreen, and it does what it’s supposed to do. It will keep your little one safe from the sun’s harmful UV rays. It can be used on baby's sensitive skin and eczema prone skin (in our case). This baby zinc sunscreen is free of fragrance & irritating chemicals. Despite the flaws, I’m very happy that it worked for us! And I would definitely recommend to give it a try, but for sure test it before use.I hope my review was helpful.

Best sunscreen we’ve found!!
Love this sunscreen! Lasts several hours. Doesn’t irritate my kids skin. Love the clean ingredients! No one got burnt last summer at all! Love their face stick as well.

Perfect for little ones! It doesn't sting eyes!
USE: I use this product on my children who are both very fair skinned. I only use this from the neck down because I prefer to use the Babo Botanicals Baby Face Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 on their faces. The only reason is because they think it's fun to use the stick on their face.PROS: There are several factors to consider when I shop for baby sunscreen: active ingredients, waterproof, greasiness, sheerness, and ease of spreading. I love that Zinc Oxide is 100% the active ingredient, it holds its own to water and does not wash off, it is not so greasy that dirt will clump onto their skin but perhaps a bit of dust does stick if they go directly into the sand box after application/reapplication. It does turn them a one tint lighter but they are fair skinned and pure Zinc Oxide is white so that does concern me. It is easy to spread and although it kind of smells like play dough in my opinion I love that it is not filled with useless toxic scents. The lotion is applied to the backs of their hands and Babo has never been an issues with burning eyes. I used scent free CeraVe moisturizing spf 50 in a pinch once and my poor babies' eyes were stinging as soon as they rubbed them. I am glad there is no stinging with Babo!CONS: It is pricey. I am diligent about reapplying every 80-90 minutes. This small bottle didn't last the whole month with two babies. Thank goodness for the buy one get one half off deal.CONCLUSION: I would definitely recommend this product! When it comes to my kids and their comfort it's worth it to spend a little extra for peace of mind.

Works but separates and smells like sunflower seeds
I wonder if this uses nano zinc oxide. There is no white cast. It’s a bit oily like all zinc oxide ones but this one I could work with. Protected our baby’s skin under Sedona sun without a burn. I did reapply frequently. Annoyingly it kept separating into gross thin liquid so I kept shaking it to mix. Not sure if normal, old, or a bad batch. Husband did not like sunflower seed smell.
