I bought this as a result of some recent published reviews on organic sunscreens.It was rated well and I liked the thought of the ingredients being organic since it was going on my baby's skin.But I found a number of issues: 1) Not all the ingredients are organic.2) Although there is no added fragrance, it has a STRONG cocoa butter smell to it which I don't find appealing.3) It was thick and a hard to apply evenly to a squirming seven month old.4)After being out in only high 70's heat for 15 minutes, the cream was puddling up in the creases of my daughter's little arms.5) After having it on *my* face for 15 minutes I wanted to wash it off I felt so oily.And finally, the next morning after our 30 minute outing with the sunscreen on her face and a hat on her head, my daughter had freckles across her cheeks where before there were none.Therefore I do not recommend it.
Highly rated for UVA A/B protection, reasonably priced (similar products sell for 3-4 times as much) and does not use oxybenzone or Vitamin A (FDA has stated increased risk of skin cancer from use of vitamin A which makes its use in sunscreens highly unethical even for US cosmetics companies).
Other brands I have used were more readily absorbed but that is not in itself a good thing. Next time I go to Europe I will stock up on the products available there that are safer and up to 5 times more effective at providing UV A/B than the ingredients used in the sunscreen products sold in the USA.

I've only used this sunscreen a couple times.It was very highly recommended as safe and effective against both UVA and UCB rays.As far as I can determine, the product performs as advertised.If you don't rub it in well, your skin will be white.
I was disappointed that a small 2.9 ounce tube cost me more than $15.
