Review on Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Fluid Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Non-Nano Zinc Oxide For Sensitive Skin & All Ages - Lightweight, Fragrance Free & Non-Greasy - 1.7 Fl. Oz. by Jonathan Davenport

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Checks off most of the boxes, but SPF doesn't perform

I've been on the hunt to find something comparable to Murad's SPF 50 all mineral daily sunscreen, and the Babo Botanicals product comes REALLY close.Pros:price point is less than 1/3 Muradtint isn't too much for even my pale skingoes on smoothdoes offer some protection from the sunhigh zinc %non-nanogood EWG ratingCons:I would bet this is more like SPF 30, maybe even lessit might be too liquidy (hence why the SPF didn't seem to perform)I will probably keep it and continue to use it on days I won't be in the sun too much, but on trips to the zoo, picnics, etc I will probably use my "water activity" face sunscreens (Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Skin Nourishing Milk for Face SPF 30 or Cerave Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30).Other daily mineral face moisturizes with SPF and tint I've used:Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 $70Elta MD - has a couple options (Glow, Elements, Clear, Restore, Replenish) $35-$40

Pros
  • Free from synthetic fragrances and dyes
Cons
  • May not have enough SPF for prolonged sun exposure
