EWG Safe Sunscreen Recommendation: Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

A review on: Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen
by Jennifer Lance

Pros: doesn't leave you looking like a white ghost

  The news on the safety of sunscreen is scary, especially the potential forsunscreen ingredients to cause cancer. One product my family relies on that made EWG's top list is Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen, Fragrance Free SPF 30. This fragrance free, lightweight lotion for all-over use helps prevent sunburn with an effective, mineral-based, UVA & UVB broad-spectrum reflective barrier....

“This product has a thick oil base with a peculiar quality. While you have to rub it in really, really well (or the oily residue stays slippery & can stain your clothes), it rubs off really quickly when it comes in contact with water (re: rain or sweat). We've tried it in two places: Chicago and Guatemala. For BBQs in Chicago, it works fine, although you do need to re-apply after...” --histrionics

“I used this only once and I was in the shade most of the time, so I cannot speak for its effectiveness. What I did not like though (and the reason I did not use it again) was that it just sat on the skin in a thick white layer that got rather icky once I got out of the water. It has a rather thick and grainy consistency. I don't think I will be using this again...” --eris

“This product is my favorite because traditional sunblocks contain chemicals that bleach coral, this one doesn't. It also is free of Oxybenzone, which has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, cell-damage, and low birth-weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. A study recently found that most Americans are contaminated with this compound as it is in most...” --happyorganics

“This is the safest sunscreen I found I'd buy it over any other product any day. Acutally if I don't have it I don't use any other one...just try to stay out of the sun as much.” --stummegirl

“I don't know if I would buy again, since we found another brand we like better, but we continue to use the tube we own on arms and legs. It doesn't rub in the best, so it looks a bit streaky and pasty. We didn't burn though!” --nitedreamer

“I've used this at my parents' home (Mom's super into natural sunscreens), and this is by far my favorite (amongst all of the ones I've tried). It's non-greasy, doesn't have much of a smell, and stays on well (even when swimming, for example). Good stuff. Only downside versus those new spray-on sunscreens is that it's not as easy to apply widely.” --Lola

“Two of my kids had Dengue already in 2001 and 2002. Since then we've been using DEET products to protect them from ever having Dengue. Just this year 2008 my pediatrician introduced me to Bioneem lotion as a replacement to the DEET product were using. After a few weeks of using Bioneem, I noticed that aside from not being bitten by mosquitoes, I notice that the small scars on the skin...” --Nehry

“This sunscreen is a great option if one is concerned about toxins in skin care products.  The natural ingredients used are pleasant, effective and won't kill us.  The sunscreen goes on nicely albeit a bit thickly.  It can be a bit hard to rub into kids' faces because of its vicosity but I prefer that to using something that has phthalates and parabens which this does not.  ” --MagdalenaC
