Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen

I chose this one from the ewg website because of its relatively low rating, plus its SUPER CHEAP compared to the others.Its 1.40$ an ounce, when the others are more like 5$-10$ or more an ounce.It works amazing, I havent burned once and my skin is pretty fair.Im in the sun every afternoon and allday on the weekends during summer and barely need to reapply even after getting in and out of the water.My only complaint is that its thicker than Im used to.But it WONT leave you white, so Ive heard of worse out there!I only use this on my body and I use supergoop! AM moisturizer 35 spf on my face (which I LOVE except for its price 9.30$ an ounce).Even though I have dry skin, Im prone to breaking out from thick products and Im not going to risk it!This product is the best for the price and effectiveness!!!

I'm a convert.I like this as a healthier version sunscreen.Absorbs well.The price is right.I wish the bottle were bigger.

This was a super effective sunscreen.We were on a beach vacation and it was our first time out in the sun for the summer, and this sunscreen worked GREAT.The only however is that it is thick.....kind of like Desitin, so it's not really pleasant to put on.

The environmental working group gave this product a rating of 2/8 with 0 being the best and 8 being the worst. For the price it is the healthiest option. This sunblock is very similar to the Alba green tea spf. It doesn't irritate my skin, feels light and fades easily like body butter. Only con is it starts to feel dry after awhile. I love that this doesn't expire until 2015. Personally I think the green tea formula more, but that is rated a 6/8.

I do have a problem with the shipment container though, but didn't rate the product based on that. This item arrived in the thin box normally reserved for Amazon books. Its nice to see Amazon using smaller packages, but for an item like this the book box doesn't work because its to thin. They need to use a small traditional box, place a sticker on the cap and wrap the tube in a layer of bubble wrap.If they can do that in a book box even better. I've been ordering stuff online for years and have never seen such awful packaging or had product arrive leaking. The sunscreen was in a plastic bag which offered NO protection. The product had been squeezed and the cap was open about 5 days worth of sunblock was stuck inside the lid and inside the bag. There goes the extra pennies I saved doing subscribe and save. If my next shipment arrives like this I'm going to just buy this product from another site.

I bought this sunscreen based on EWG's review.

It's very emollient as promised, but it's very greasy. Leaves your face shiny. I have to blot my face with a tissue before applying makeup, which might reduce it's sunblock effectiveness (not sure).

But overall it's very smooth and has no smell, which is nice.
