    Great natural sunscreen - it does apply VERY white but absorbs quickly and isn't greasy and only a very little lingering scent, if any. I only wish the SPF was a bit higher.

    This is the ONLY sunscreen I use for my daughter. She is allergic to chemical sunscreens - they give her a horrible rash, and I found this at Whole Foods, what a bargain! It costs about half what...

    Got this at my local Whole Foods to use on my daughter and on my body (not face... I'm acne-prone). Liked the fact that it is titanium dioxide-based. The smell is not too bad for a sunscreen...

    There are some really great things about this sunscreen such as the subtle vanilla scent and the non-oily finish. However, there are two things that really bother me about it also. First, it...

    this is for the frgrance free version: i like that this is a broad spectrum mineral s/s, but the likeness stops there. i have to use a moisturizer under it, or it dries out my skin. it also has a...

    This stuff really is the best way of keeping your skin happy if you're going to be playing in the sun! It's not going to dry you out, or give you cancer. MUST HAVE.

    The great thing about this is that it really didn't cause breakouts, and NO SUNSCREEN SMELL...it is the only lotion that has a Vanilla smell!!! However, this is a physical sunblock, which means...

    This stuff is very hard to blend-- I had to really be on the lookout for flakes and streaks. It does leave a white cast, but it has a really yummy vanilla scent. I like the fact that it's...

    This is my favorite non-chemical sunscreen for my body. The only reason I don't give it five lippies is because it's really difficult to spread (it's quite thick). However, I mix it with a dab of...

    I think that this is the only Alba Botanica sunscreen that's worthwhile because the active ingredient is titanium dioxide making it stable and broad spectrum (I don't know about the ppd level...

    I bought this in a pinch when I was out of DDF Organic. They have very similar consistencies, only this one has a much lower SPF. I find it wears well under makeup and does not sweat off when I'm...

    I love this! Matte finish, nice smell (vanilla to me - I hate the normal 'sunscreen' smell), not greasy, doesn't make me break out. Does leave a slight whitish cast at first that fades, you have...

    This doesn't work at all for me. It's leaves a horrible white cast, and I'm very pale. It smells really bad. And if it comes in contact with the tiniest bit of moisture, it looks like you were just...

    This I *might* buy again.. When I first got it, it was great for everyday use. A subtle scent, perfect for my arms, neck, etc. Then after a week or 2, I noticed that it was staining my clothing...

    I've liked all the Alba Botanica products I tried, and I'm on my second tube of this. It's a good sunscreen, although you have to be careful to rub it in well to avoid white traces -- a couple...

    Wouldn't buy this again, but... I do have very dry skin and this emphasized that. Those with combo-oily skin might like this really well, though. It caused too much of a white cast, which caused a...

    This sunscreen is "chemical free", oil free and provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The active ingredient is titanium dioxide. It stung a little (nothing compared to the chemical sunscreens...
