Critics & buyers

The human jury in one chapter — what the video reviewers score and say, the reviews behind it, and how Google buyers rate them.

What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Reviewers praise
  • Blends into skin with minimal white cast despite being a mineral formula, especially on fair to medium skin tones
  • Applies smoothly with a silky texture that spreads easily compared to typical mineral sunscreens
  • Works well as a makeup primer with a soft matte finish that helps foundation adhere
Reviewers push back
  • SPF 30 rating is too low for prolonged outdoor exposure or reliable daily protection
  • Not water resistant, which limits effectiveness in humid conditions or when sweating
  • Small bottle size runs out quickly with proper application amounts
Reviewers agree this mineral sunscreen applies smoothly and blends well with minimal white cast, but the SPF 30 rating feels inadequate for extended outdoor use and the small bottle empties quickly.
— best for: Best for people with normal to oily skin seeking a lightweight mineral sunscreen for routine indoor days with incidental sun exposure who want something that doubles as a primer.

I cannot sing the praises of this product enough. Silky, completely non-greasy (rinses clean with water), matte, skin-loving ingredients, lovely sheer coverage that stays on the skin and looks natural...why hasn't this gone viral? I'd take this over Supergoop in a heartbeat any day. I've been using this for almost a decade (and have very youthful skin to support its efficacy) and every single time GrrAce · paulaschoice.com

Babo botanicals is always my go-to brand for natural sunscreen. It's the only natural sunscreen I use that's not heavy and greasy (I've tried a ton! but doesn't dry out my combo skin. Thus hands down to the quality and ingredient! The size is standard but can last for a couple of months for me. The package was great too. Almost no scent and can be used for all ages too I believe. iHerb Customer · iherb.com
