The one I have has SPF 40. I love how creamy this goes onto my skin and absorbs nicely. It doesn't really leave a noticeable white cast but there is a slight hint of it. It doesn't break me...

This sunscreen glides on smoothly. It doesn't leave a white cast. However, the one I purchased smells like vinegar, not a pleasant scent, which is why I did not rate a higher score.

I love this facial sunscreen! It's is emollient, they're not lying about that but I wouldn't say it's greasy I'd say it's moisturizing. I use this as my daily face moisturizer. It doesn't clog or...

I've got a fine rash on my face and décolleté. Developed within a day of using this product. Hasn't cleared up after two weeks, so I'm passing it to my husband, whose skin is less sensitive. Beyond...

EDIT April 2015--- This is still my favorite sunscreen for the face! However, it's super hard to find at Whole Foods. I was worried that it was being discontinued, but I found you can find it on...

I found this at Winners (Canadian version of TJ Maxx) and decided to give it a try because of its all natural claims and the fact that it is fragrance free. I wore it for about 10 days and while...

Before purchasing this product I was using the Eucerin facial sunblock SPF 15. It was in a lotion form which was not hydrating enough. I've seen Alba Botanica skincare @ Whole Foods so I figured it...

I got lucky with this bad boy. So I was looking for a natural facial moisturizer with SPF30 or more. I'd say the majority of facial moisturizers are lower than 30. I was getting ready to shell out...

I wasn't a big fan of this sunscreen. It's not a bad product if you aren't putting makeup on top, however I wear makeup everyday and it tends to ball up with the combination of moisturizer and...

Best sun block I've had yet, roughly $11 in my organic food store. Good, balmy finish, doesn't irritate my sensitive eczema skin in the least, doesn't oxidize.

I have very fair skin with rosacea, and this sunblock does the trick without causing any flareup reactions that I am prone to have with some products. It is wonderfully creamy, so it's a...
