Babo Botanicals Sheer Zinc SPF 30 Natural Continuous Fragrance Free Sunscreen Spray, 6 Fluid Ounce

The sunscreen is nice in that it doesn't leave a sticky layer on your skin like many other brands. I also like how it uses more natural ingredients rather than synthetic chemicals, although I wouldn't consider it completely reefsafe either. Just be aware to shake it really well before spraying or it'll just be water that comes out. The texture should be a thin foam. The downside is that it is hard to scrub off the tiny grooves in your skin. Be sure to thoroughly wash it off or you'll be stuck with tiny white lines around your joint areas. The sunscreen also has a sheer cast, so it will turn your skin whiter and reflective, as do most physical sunscreens. This personally doesn't matter to me, but opt for a chemical sunscreen if you don't like that.

First let me start by saying I have an inflammatory condition so I needed a sunscreen that didn’t contribute to making my symptoms worse like many of the other sunscreens with harsh chemicals. This sunscreen is phenomenal! We just got back from a week in the Caribbean sun in Antigua/Barbuda, and I did not burn once! But there are some key things you must know before buying so that you can apply it properly and get the best protection. First, you must shake the can for about 20 seconds before each use. This way it mixes the sunscreen and applies it correctly. If you spray it and it comes out clear you have not shaken it up enough. It should spray solid white. Second, rub it in quickly after you spray it because it dries fast. Note that this does leave a white cast, but it’s not as bad as everyone says. I have light olive skin (half Hispanic, half white) and I tan easily but I also burn easily. When I applied it, it went on white but I just took the time and rub it in really well. The white cast will fade a little once it dries but it will also sit on top of the skin which is helpful to know when you need to re-apply. I applied in the morning about 20 min before getting in the sun. *Apply before putting on your swim suit! If it gets on your swimwear, it will leave white marks*. The sunscreen stayed on through pool and ocean use without rubbing off. I only needed to reapply on the tops of my shoulders once in the afternoon. Also, this is not to say that you won’t burn. While I was in the intense sun, I also spent time in the shade throughout the day just to make sure I was giving my skin breaks from the heat. But for being in the sun like I was, I am VERY impressed with this sunscreen. And for it only being spf 30, it protected me better than expected in the harsh Caribbean sun. I usually come home from vacations with a little burn but absolutely none this time! Just be sure to take time to apply it correctly and you should be good! I’d rather have a slight, minimal white cast than be burnt and miserable. It’s worth it! I’ll be using this stuff from now on.

Love how this sprays! It isn’t just a line like all other spray sunblock this has a wide nosal and covers more. Great product!

I had high hopes for this product - finally something you could spray on and that was safe for kids.....Sounds like a great product. The problem is that it doesn't absorb well and it's not as thought you can simply rub it into the skin. My kids wont let me put this on them because they go to school painted white. Would advice against this purchase. A waste of my money... :-((

Pros: doesnt smell like you're wearing sunscreen, all natural, not oily/sticky. Cons: for dark skinned people it sometimes didn't blend entirely so I looked ashy but not always. All in all would recommend
