I have been applying this lotion for more than 2 weeks now. Being a mom, i am always out with my toddler, and I am always in hunt for a good sunscreen for my sensitive skin. I can confidently say it works incredibly well. Even during long playground dates in direct sunlight, I haven’t had any redness, sunburn, or peeling. I follow the 2 mg/cm² rule and reapply every two hours.The lotion dispenses Kimyvrinfluencer · walmart.ca

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
