Love Alba Botanica products. They aren’t as toxic as a lot of mass marketed brands and this product is no exception. Rich, lovely cream with no chem
...ical sunscreen and no fragrance. The bad thing about fragrance in a sunscreen product is it creates photosensitivity. Now, why would you ever want that? If you get a whitish cast, add a little drop of BB Cream or foundation to take care of that.

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 am older, spent a lot of time outdoors gardening and have had skin cancer on my face, So now, I am religious about wearing sunscreen. I researched q
...uite a few products and found Alba has basic zinc oxide which has been proven to be more effective than other products and ingredients. it seems to stay on longer, and the only downside is that it is white & sometimes you need to rub it in more to have it not show, but this shows it protects.

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!

Although this product is gentle for the skin, its quite heavy in consistency and is hard to spread with your hands, especially across your face. It al
...so leaves a white cast, albeit not extremely obvious. It smells kind of similar to a sharpie. Otherwise, it's great for sensitive skin and can hide pigmentation.

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.

Elliot Moore
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.

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.

Oliver Jennings
This is my second purchase. It’s a good sunscreen for daily use. Seems to be effective. It is fragrance free as it claims but there is scent—it’
...s a bland one lol. I gave it for 4 stars because the spreadability is tricky. If you rub it between your hands you’ll notice it almost clump up, which makes it’s harder to distribute on the skin. However once it warms up on the skin, it sinks in well (no white cast) and leaves my face with a nice glow. It works well alone or under makeup in my experience.

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!

I was trying to find a facial moisturizer that also had sun block, without being greasy. This is more the other way around: a sunblock cream that seem
...s to protect skin, but not really moisturize. It does contain "Niacinamide, Squalane & Vitamin E" so there is some nourishing going on, but I think this makes more sense for using throughout the day in the sun, rather than an all-purpose morning moisturizer. I could see taking it when traveling or camping. Good that it's (relatively) natural and free of a lot of ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin. I also appreciate the cruelty-free aspect. And the price is a great value.
