I was searching for a sunscreen that wouldn't leave a white residue on my skin, while also containing only zinc oxide and avoiding harmful chemic
...al ingredients. This product met those requirements. It does take a little time to fully rub into the skin and eliminate any white residue, but it does an excellent job of moisturizing my skin and protecting me from sunburn. Also, I appreciate that it doesn't feel heavy like some other sunscreens can.

This Alba product provides very good sun protection. I'm often out in the hot sun for 3-5 hours mountain biking, and this lotion protects me from
... getting burnt even without reapplying and being a bit sweaty. I use it on my arms, back and even my face. It takes a bit of rubbing to absorb into the skin to the point where you don't see the white cream color on your skin (I'm a tan white skin gal), but I don't mind because the ingredients are much more natural (free from chemicals) than many brands. I like the fragrance-free option

I have tried a lot of mineral sunscreens and I really like this one. It does not leave a white cast. It does take a little bit of rubbing to work it i
...n, but it leaves the skin more dewy than oily which I appreciate. I also like that it is unscented. I will buy again.

I must wear sunscreen but I don't like anything heavy, greasy, or perfumed on my face. This lotion gives me protection without any greasiness or
...heaviness, and there is no scent. No white sheen, either. I am able to use it comfortably. Best of all, it is not tested on animals and no animal ingredients! I trust Alba Botanica's quality

So far I love it. Like most mineral sunscreens, it's white on the face at first, so you have to massage it around, then it's invisible (and
...I have light brown skin). I used this only on my face and I think it's working. I live on the South Island of New Zealand, where the ozone layer is thinner. I'm outdoors a lot. I swim outdoors, walk, hike (known as tramping here), so I need a good sunscreen. I have used many different Alba Botanica products (from hair products to body and face products) over many years and I have rarely been disappointed.

I'm a huge fan of Alba Botanica products, mainly because they're not as toxic as many mass-market brands, and this particular product is no
...different. It's a luxurious cream with no chemical sunscreen or fragrance. Fragrance in sunscreen can actually lead to photosensitivity, which is definitely something to avoid. If you find that it leaves a whitish cast, simply mix in a drop of BB cream or foundation to remedy that.

I was looking for a natural, mineral, and light-textured sun protection and I found this one. It is really great for daily use. I put it on my face be
...fore applying my makeup. It can be a little white, but that is typical with mineral sunscreen. The white fades eventually, no problem. I highly recommend it!

I used the mineral sport from Alba Botanical for years. This new version is nothing like the previous one in the blue package. The consistency is kind
... of buttery and is very hard to spread over the skin, it also holds after swimming much worse than it used to. Because of that you need more product. Would not recommend, unless you are ready to message it in your skin and spread it around for several minutes.

I love that this is a nontoxic option that is pure mineral sunscreen. It’s fragrance free and absorbs decently well into the skin. I am of a lighter
... complexion and I don’t notice a white cast. I don’t know how someone with a darker complexion would fair, but this one seems to rub in pretty well — better than other ones I’ve used for sure. I think it offers decent coverage: I have gotten a little color using this but have not burned.

Belle Reed
This mineral sunscreen provides reliable sun protection while remaining gentle on sensitive skin. The fragrance-free formula is a definite plus, and i
...t doesn't contain any potentially harmful chemical filters. However, like many mineral sunscreens, it does leave a slight white cast that takes some effort to blend in. The texture is somewhat thick, requiring patient application, but it provides good water resistance once set. Despite these minor drawbacks, it's a solid choice for daily sun protection.

Even more than usual for mineral water resistant spf 50 I tried in the past. Strangly, after you finaly make it throug, it is not the whitest cast you
... would expect from such a heavy mineral cream. Also, it is fragrance free and doesn't have any bad smell out of te tube, but even the little spf smell it does have almost disappears after a few minutes (again, more than I would expect and more than other similar spf50 mineral creams which out of the tube have even less smell.) So if you need water resistant mineral fragrance free sunscreen for sensitive skin, and you are on a budget , it may not be the funnest to apply, but it is not at all bad (because there are good and much lighter options if you don't mind spending some more)

Rose Clarke
When I first applied this sunscreen, it had white cast, but after few minutes, it became sheer. It works well with medium skin tone. It is scent free
...which I appreciate. You may need to use setting powder or anything that makes the face matte because the sunscreen can leave the face a bit shiny. It is a bit sticky after application which makes it great makeup primer. I recommend this for anyone looking for mineral sunscreen. I also recommend this brand.

Reggie Miles
This sunscreen is a must-have for sensitive skin! It offers high SPF protection without the strong scent or greasy feeling of many other sunscreens. T
...he formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving no white cast, which I really appreciate. It provides long-lasting sun protection, and since it's fragrance-free, it’s perfect for anyone with sensitivities. I’ve used it for both daily wear and outdoor activities, and it works great without causing irritation. Highly recommend for those looking for a gentle, effective sunscreen
