Review on 🌞 Alba Botanica Sensitive SPF Sunscreen by Heidi Monroe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for fair skin but difficult to wash off

We bought this sunscreen for a weekend trip to Mexico because we needed a reef safe sunscreen. A few months later we went to the Turks and Caicos for a week and it was the only sunscreen we used all the time. My wife is very fair skinned and always burns and came home with a light tan after a week! She wasn't hot at all! It was her favorite sunscreen for 4 years and she hasn't had a real sunburn since. You should definitely apply and wait 10-15 minutes before sun exposure for full protection, but once you've done that you're done. Yes, you really have to massage it in to avoid white streaks, but we've found that the extra little work is definitely worth it. We gave it 4 stars overall for that reason, and also because it's a little hard to get off your skin at the end of the day. But we'll get over those minor inconveniences if it means better sun protection than any other sunscreen we've used.
