Daily Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Fluid SPF50 - Natural Origin Zinc Oxide - Passion Fruit Oil - Fragrance Free - Ultra-Lightweight - For Face - For all ages

I've been trying to be more intentional about the ingredients in the products I use, and the ingredient list was one of the main reasons I chose this sunscreen. It fits well with my preference for lower-tox, mineral-based products without feeling like I'm sacrificing how the product actually performs. I have naturally oily skin, and most sunscreens tend to make me look even oilier or feel heavy on my face. This one goes on surprisingly light and leaves more of a dewy finish rather than a greasy one. I normally prefer my skincare to have a matte finish, but I've actually been enjoying the way this looks on my skin. It gives it a healthy-looking glow without making me feel like I need to wash my face an hour later. The fluid consistency also makes it easy to apply and spread evenly, and it doesn't have that thick, heavy feeling I associate with a lot of mineral sunscreens. I've found it comfortable enough for everyday wear, which is important to me because the best sunscreen is ultimately one I'll actually want to use consistently. Overall, this has been a really nice find for my oily skin and fits well with the type of products I prefer to use.

Probably my 4th repurchase. Have looked at other US alternatives (to have backup options), even more expensive ones, and have not found an alternative that is mineral, as clean, fluid-like, and not tinted like a foundation. The neutral yellow color of this works well for me and doesn't leave a white cast on my light-medium skin. EWG used to have a visual scale showing that this was not only clean but also rated high for UVA, but now that they've switched to a system of "EWG verified" products, you can't see precise comparisons between products anymore. I have normal skin. I can tell I have this on my face (vs. having nothing on), but it's just the slightest soft feel and certainly does not make my hair stick to my face like other spf's. Dewy at first but then that goes away so that skin looks normal and moisturized. It goes well under makeup, and even without separate moisturizer it provides some moisture as a base to keep my makeup from looking dry. It's good with my pores. If at the beach with continuous sun on face, then I do reapply often. I always make sure to shake well and haven't experienced any separation issues. Don't notice a fragrance either. Very happy with it. I would like an alternative that is oil-free so that I can share the same bottle with my mom, but haven't found one good enough yet to replace this. Some oil-free, fluid alternatives are not as clean, have white cast complaints, or leave some iridescent glow. My mom who has sensitive skin and is picky in general is ok using this for now. Will keep buying/recommending! UPDATE: Educating myself and just recently saw the video by a PhD in chemistry talking about sunscreens, called "How mineral sunscreens are dodging laws" and it includes a minute on this company as well as EWG inconsistencies (EWG background and ratings are not as solid as I thought). I also saw a Consumer Reports 2024 report on sunscreen testing and the regular mineral sunscreen by Babo (not this face one) rated just ok. Not changing my rating here as this is an excellent product, but whether it's optimal protection is a different question. I will try to find more alternatives (especially with PA rating). I'm also considering (the least worst) chemical sunscreens now too, which don't rub off as easily while doing makeup or move during day. Will likely grab one when I'm in Europe, where there are more approved active ingredients and stricter standards (e.g. check on homosalate in the EU). Also nice Korean options out there, but if they are sold in the US then probably reformulated per US regulations; not sure I want to deal with the delivery time and potential unexpected cost from ordering from overseas in this political climate. Conclusion: will keep this product in my arsenal, but there's more out there on my radar now!

Had a reaction almost like a chemical burn. If you have sensitive skin at all, I’d advise picking a different product.

Personally I swear by this sunscreen now that I’ve been using it for about 2-3 months religiously. I carry it in my bag with me and I use daily. I love to partner this with Alba Botanicals Suncreen. I use this sheer to my entire face and the alba sunscreen to my under eye area. I absolutely love this duo so much it really changed my skincare game and texture! It gives me such a beautiful dewy hydrated look. I always reapply the alba throughout the day under my eyes because I love the way it gives me that hydrated plump look. I will say this though. I did reccomend it in one of my non toxic group and a mom told me she tested it for lead because her sons levels were high and it came back positive for lead . Big YIKES. Haven’t done it myself and tbh I’m scared to because I love this so much I’ve done so much research . I have yet to find out but if I could reccomend confidently as a non toxic I would say 10/10 just make sure you get your desired “shade”

Based on the EWG verifications (product quality and safety testing) I tried the tinted version of this sunscreen. I found it a bit too dark for my very pale skin, so I ordered this untinted product. The color is unusual, a creamy pale yellow (actually, it matches the color of the container), but it goes on smoothly, dries fast and leaves a barely visible cast that disappears quickly. After using the untinted version for awhile, I find the faint color helps to even out the redder areas of my skin, so it’s a good replacement for foundation. All of these features are great by themselves, but the thing I haven’t been able to find in many other face sunscreens is sun protection—but Babo does it. I always burn, not tan, and after using this sunscreen for a month or so previous pinkness (sun damage) has faded. And Babo doesn’t dry out my skin like other high SPF products do. It has moisturizing qualities of its own but I use a light moisturizer first. An added bonus, this product is sheer enough that when I reapply in a couple of hours it doesn’t look streaked or cakey. No allergic reactions and I don’t mind shaking the bottle before using. I do appreciate that it dries fast and does not look greasy, even with a moisturizer underneath. Best face sunscreen I’ve found.

[my skin: 30y/o, wears SPF daily, warm fair, freckled, low desert resident] Very effective and feels great on my skin. Blends over moisturizer and under makeup with ease. Perfect for my kiddos sensitive skin too. From errands to the water park, this is the SPF I have been wearing daily. Worn a multitude of sunscreens throughout my life and to date this has outperformed them all. Putting my friends and family on to this asap!

The only sunscreen I’ve found that doesn’t burn my eyes when I sweat. It goes on thin and doesn’t cast a white film. Most importantly it is a great sunscreen.

Idk if it works good to block out sun but I have light beige skin (I’m white but warm tones) and this sunscreen looks like a white film of paste over my face. It doesn’t spread well at all either and I look ridiculous. I didn’t put a lot on at all but I just look like I intentionally tried to paint my face light
