This is wonderful. My little one has eczema and this did not cause any adverse reaction. I like that the ingredients are mineral, so it does not absorb into the skin. The wearability is nice as it blends in well so you do not look like a ghost nor feel sticky. I recommend this product to anyone, not just babies. gina.b · influenster.com

This is hands down the absolute best mineral sunscreen I have tried, and I've tried pretty much all of the leading European brands. The texture is very fluid and watery and spreads very easily. I use a damp beauty blender to apply it. The key is to give it enough time to set, and then blot it with the beauty blender again to smooth it out. I finish with some powder on top and it gives me the nices Annabelle · shoppersdrugmart.ca
