I like: that this is a mineral sunscreen. Effective in preventing sunburn. Stays on while you swim.
Not a fan of: the very thick consistency – makes it a little harder to apply. May leave a white film on the skin. Great stuff nonetheless.
Alba Botanica’s Natural Very Emollient Mineral Sunblock SPF 30 is a fantastic alternative to the chemical sunscreens that are commonly found in drug stores. Mineral and chemical sunscreens differ in one major way. Mineral sunscreens provide a physical barrier of protection (usually consisting of zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide) between the skin and the sun. They block and deflect the Sun’s harmful rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb Sun rays. This relatively natural, unscented product works quite well at preventing sunburn as long as you reapply after swimming or excessive sweating. The cream’s texture is thick, making it a little harder to spread, and can leave a white film. That’s the tradeoff of using a mineral sunblock. Nourishing ingredients in this product include grapeseed oil and jojoba oil. Try Alba Botanica’s Natural Very Emollient Mineral Sunblock SPF 30 if you’re thinking about making the switch from chemical sunscreens.
