Where to buy

We recommend Babo Botanicals reef-safe mineral sunscreen that is moisturizing and non-irritating to sensitive skin. This is a well-priced niche mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin.

The Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is a medium-thick paste with a trouble-free rub-in application. It does carry a minimal paste/chalk-like smell. The smell is not necessarily bad, but there is some fragrance; it is hardly noticeable after application.

This is one of the best mineral sunscreens for not leaving a white cast on the skin. It leaves a lotion feel on the skin but is not greasy.

This sunscreen is fast absorbing, making it water resistant. After testing, we ensure this sunscreen will shield you from UV rays in or out of the water for around 80 minutes; reapply after time runs up. Enjoy the gentle sunscreen.
