Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Fluid SPF50 - Natural Zinc Oxide - Passion Fruit Oil - Golden-Hued Tint - Fragrance Free - Ultra-Lightweight - For Face - For all agesEWG Verified

I’m surprised by all the reviews that say this sunscreen has a greasy finish. I’ve been looking for years for a face sunscreen that’s not greasy, and this particular Babo product is it. Maybe a slightly dewy finish but definitely not shiny or greasy like most moisturizing sunscreens—and I use this after applying a moisturizer. At first I thought the shade would be too dark for me but it blends easily and is very sheer. I don’t wear foundation so I’m glad this sunscreen is almost invisible when applied, avoiding a heavy makeup look, but it does even my skin tone a bit and there’s no white cast, even with the high zinc content. I also have very sensitive skin and I’ve had no allergic reactions. The bottle doesn’t drip or leak, making it easy to apply anywhere, even in the car. It dries quickly so I don’t leave sunscreen fingerprints on everything. I haven’t had an opportunity to test it by spending time outside on a full-sun day but I get pink after 5 minutes on cloudy days and this product has protected me so far. I’ve been happy with the SPF performance of other Babo products so I’m hoping for the best. The EWG verification is rare for sunscreens and that’s a definite plus. .

I have been searching FOREVER for a clean sunscreen that would work for my light medium skin tone & literally nothing would work...until I found this gem! I tried chemical sunscreens to avoid white-cast, but I just hated the non-clean ingredients when it came to those & then I started breaking out from them, so I KNEW I needed a mineral sunscreen. I tried TONS of mineral sunscreens, & there was not a single one that left me with no white-cast, no matter what I did or how I applied it. Then, I tried looking into tinted mineral sunscreens because I knew I had to get tinted options to avoid the white-cast. The issue that came with that was how weird it looked with my skin tone. For example, I tried Australian Gold, but it felt sooo dry & matte on my skin (I have dry skin) & the biggest issue was how orange & darker than my regular skin tone I looked with it. FINALLYYY I found this brand & the first thing I loved was how CLEAN the ingredients are! I am HUGE on making sure my products I consume & apply are non-toxic, so that was a huge pro. On top of that, this shade is AMAZING it did not change my original skin tone at all & it looks like I'm not wearing sunscreen (in the best way possible aka it has ZERO white-case whatsoever!!!) this is such a big deal for me & I AM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND A PRODUCT THAT WORKS FOR ME <3 I saw lots of reviews saying it broke them out, but, fortunately, I am not allergic to gluten, so I am fine, but if you have a gluten allergy, this won't work for you because of the wheat germ oil in the ingredients. All the oils don't affect me too much because I have drier skin, so it actually really helps, but I will edit my review if I notice any breakouts from this. The liquid texture is nice, but I am weary of if the liquid texture gives me proper sun protection, so I apply 3 finger-lengths, instead of the recommended 2 finger lengths, which means more product needed on a daily basis, which makes this quite pricey because it is smaller than I thought it would be. I would not change the texture, though, because it just feels better than the matte/lotiony sunscreens in my opinion, but I just hope it could be bigger or a bit cheaper, but I appreciate this brand so much for being so clean & great for my skin, so I am okay with paying for how good quality this is! I AM A SUPER HAPPY CUSTOMER :)

The media could not be loaded. I used to LOVE this product. Have faithfully used it every day for 5 years. It helped reduce my hyperpigmentation while also blending my skin tone for a very light fountain effect.But a year ago I started getting these flair ups. I thought it was the dog we got. I went to the allergist, was told I have eczema, put on very expensive cream that helped but never cleared it up.When this bottle ran out I was forced to use another sunscreen for a couple weeks and the rash totally cleared up for the first time in a year. I got a new bottle thinking it was my new fancy cream that was working and the first day I used this babo sunscreen my skin BURNED and immediately broke out into painful itchy hives that took two weeks to heal.I threw it away and now use another brand and no longer need that expensive exzema cream.It’s this sunscreen. Some ingredient in here is terrible. DO NOT USE IT.

I absolutely love this face sunscreen. I don’t use a lot on my face and I don’t like the feel of most sunscreens on my face. This sunscreen is light and blends so well. It does have a little sunscreen feel at first but absorbs so nicely and leaves your skin feeling so soft. The tint is subtle and gives your skin a nice glow. Love that it is spf 50. This is also a great non toxic option!

I've always used a LaRoche sunscreen that is both pricey and chemical-laden (even the zinc option), but I liked how sheer and lightweight it was. I finally decided to do an EWG search for a clean sunscreen, and found that Babo, a brand I rely on for my children's sunscreen, also makes sunscreen options for adults. I purchased this Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for its zinc properties and light tint. So far I've been very impressed; it's extremely easy to apply and blend, and it doesn't settle into creases or leave a greasy finish. The tint is VERY light on my skin; I'm a full makeup girly and I would not consider this comparable to a foundation; it's definitely more like a skin tint. I love that it is compositionally cleaner than my previous sunscreens, and also more affordable! It doesn't have a strong scent and I love that it leaves a dry finish so you don't feel like you're applying makeup to an oil slick. I will definitely keep using and recommend for anyone looking to avoid applying common icky chemicals onto your largest and most absorbent organ.
