Babo BotanicalsSPF 40 Daily Sheer Facial Sunscreen, Unscented, 1.7oz, Best Natural Mineral Sunscreen, Non-Nano, Sensitive

After many years of using chemical based sunscreens and my skin starting to react negatively to them I decided to make the switch to Mineral, not as easy as i thought. I've tried about 9,999,999 different ones and spent quite a lot in doing so. To save anyone else going through the absolute minefield of products and reviews i am writing this one for other people. My skin is quite sensitive and prone to redness, I work outside in the summer heat and need a sunscreen that is effective with decent SPF, water and sweat proof that I don't have to reapply every ten seconds. I found every product has mixed reviews but if you are similar to me then take a chance on this one. It's not greasy, it's not too drying, it's effective, seems quite sweat resistent, I've not tested it with water though but quotes 80 mins. It isnt as thick as most others especially given that it's factor 40, it almost goes on like the higher spf chemicals. With regards the dreaded white cast, it's remarkably almost non existent and what is evident disappears after about half an hour. In addition it really helps to hide any redness and even colour. The worst thing is the smell, though not entirely unpleasant and far more preferable than the rotten coconut smell that I've found/suffered in others, it does smell amost a bit kind of chemical, but that too dissipates after around 30 mins. It's also quite reasonably priced. This is now my every day facial sunscreen.

It’s very very drying matte look and leaves a white cast on face specially on eyebrows , i don’t personally like it at all . Just not for me .

Other mineral sunscreens left my face ghostly white (and I am South Asian, so I have dark skin). I had almost given up hope on mineral sunscreens and feared that I may have to resort to chemical offerings. However, I am SO GLAD I found this one. It sinks in wonderfully, leaving a nice glow (not a cast). And a little goes a very long way. This is my go-to sunscreen now.

Not had the chance to try it in strong sun so I can't comment on how good it is at preventing sunburn. However, there's no white cast, no pilling and it rubs in easily. The smell is not great but bearable. My biggest issue is the percentage of zinc seems on the low side compared to other products I've tried - but I'm no expert.

It’s very noticeable when you wear it, no matter your skin colour. I have fair skin and this product made my face look like a ghost. Not to mention it seemed like it was out of date or gone bad. It just doesn’t work honestly.

Excellent product for my ultra-sensitive skin. Not at all greasy, leaves a good base for makeup. I suffer from rosacea and this sunscreen has definitely helped diminish the redness. My skin looks better than it has in years.

I was so excited for this, as I had spent ages searching for safer suncream without nasty chemicals. It was expensive but worth while I thought ...when it arrived it was tiny!It fits in the palm of my hand!Nevermind I figured if it works...I put it on my face and neck one sunny day...and an hour later I came out in an awfull rash all over my face, lumps and itchy all over my neck.I have no idea though what I reacting too though, because as far as I know I have no allergies other than latex,and I haven't ever reacted to any other creams/ lotions/ suncream, ingredients listed.So in my case it's no good! I maybe a one off though...

Great suncream , no white cast , non greasy . Ideal under make up.
