User questions & answers

Question:	Just received my order of daily cream. The lid was not sealed outside, just a clear plastic cover under the lid. Is this how it's suppose to be
Answer:	Mine had no outer sealing and had a clear plastic cover as well, but was in a box. Hope that helps.
Question:	Could someone who owns this product check the label to see if there is any fragrance added? THANKS
Answer:	Yes, the very last ingredient is fragrance. Seems odd when its primarily a natural product.
Question:	Does anyone use the daily and night creams together? If so, what makes them different? I got the day cream by accident and wanted the night cream
Answer:	The night cream is heavier. Day cream absorb's quickly and wears well under makeup.
Question:	Is this product oil free
Answer:	No it isn't. However, I do have oily skin that was a concern for me as well but I have been using this product for over a year and it hasn't made me breaks out. It it's worth trying if you are looking for a new lotion.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a photo of the ingredient list available? All other alba sunscreens seem to have that available
Answer:	No
Question:	I'm having a difficult time getting the can to spray. Is there a trick to opening the top
Answer:	No, it’s a standard spray top where you twist it one way to lock and the other way to unlock. If you are having trouble getting it to spray and you have unlocked it, then it must be a defective bottle.
Question:	Are the particles nano size
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this product go on clear or white
Answer:	White. From my understanding, the healthier sun screens go on white - the ingredients that allow the sunscreen to soak in with minimal rubbing are not good for you!

• ✅ SUN DAMAGE HAPPENS IN MINUTES: Just a quick stroll down the block is enough for the potent ultraviolet rays of the sun to cause plenty of harm to your skin. Even when it's overcast, sun exposure leads to sunburn, fine lines, wrinkles, premature aging and even irreversible damage to your sensitive skin cells. That’s why daily use of a facial sunscreen every day is critical for your skin health.
• ✅ POWERFUL PROTECTION YOUR FACE WILL THANK YOU FOR: Protect your skin with our mineral facial sunscreen. Because it's designed for daily wear and formulated with safe, natural ingredients, it offers 20 SPF protection from the damaging rays of the sun without clogging your pores and causing breakouts, or embarrassing rashes.
• ✅ THE SECRET TO FLAWLESS, YOUTHFUL BEAUTY: Ever read the list of ingredients on the back of the sunscreens on the market and wondered why there were so many impossible to pronounce ingredients? Unlike chemical laden sunscreens that sink into your skin, our mineral facial sunscreen forms a barrier on your skin’s surface. The secret is non-nano zinc oxide. It protects you from UV radiation without entering your body’s systems.
• ✅ NO MORE CHALKY WHITE FACE: Looking for a face sunscreen you don't have to spend 45 minutes rubbing into your skin? This all natural sunscreen won't leave your face with the dreaded chalky white streaks. This sunblock is a moisturizer with 20 SPF for maximum protection without the embarrassment.
• ✅ LOVE IT OR LET US KNOW: We know you’re gonna love what our mineral facial sunscreen can do. We’re so confident that we’ll even guarantee it - because every product we sell comes with an Unconditional Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

Prevent Aging and Protect Your Skin

Get the Protection you Need Without Putting Yourself at Risk

Conventional sunscreens block out UV rays with chemicals that sink into your skin and enter your body’s systems.

Not great.

Our water resistant sunscreen, on the other hand, sits on the surface, forming a barrier on the outside of your skin. We don’t use any nano-particles, which means there’s nothing small enough to enter your body.

You’ll get the sun protection you need without putting yourself at risk.

We’ve skipped the toxic chemicals that are included in most conventional sunscreens and used only the good stuff, so you’ll never have to worry about the impact our sunblock has on your health.

Potent Enough for Powerful Protection, Gentle Enough for Kids

Your Skin will Thank You Now, and 10 Years from Now

Like all of our products, our natural sunscreen is cruelty free, all natural, and created from sustainably sourced ingredients.

We’ve skipped the parabens, phthalates, and chemical-based active ingredients that sink into your skin and went straight to the protective power of non-nano minerals.

So don’t wait to see the difference that natural sun protection can make! Trust us – your face (and the rest of your body) will thank you.

User questions & answers

Question:	When I shake the bottle the contents sound solid. It still sprays but seems almost like rotten milk, does this mean it’s gone bad
Answer:	No, it's not bad. That is why shaking first is so important. It mixes ingredients together so that they aren't 'lumpy' and comes out in fine light spray once shook well. The can even says on it shake well for 5 seconds.
Question:	Is it reef safe
Answer:	The problem we had was that some areas of reef don’t allow aerosol spray. So we could put it on before
Question:	Does this sunscreen rub in without making really white? Also does it make you look shiny
Answer:	Its like a spray zinc and sprays on white. I shake the can and rub it in but there is just a hint of white. No shiny. It stays on even when I get out of the pool. Strong stuff.
Question:	Do you need to rub this in
Answer:	Yes, definitely! I didn't rub it in the first time and got sunburned. The second time around I did rub it in and re-applied. I got sunburned again, but less so. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this product. I'd get the TerraSport Spray (SPF 15) http://amzn.to/295hTX6 or Goddess Garden Kids (SPF 30) spray instead http://amzn.to/297xPuY I am a scuba diver and cyclist so I spend a lot of time in the sun. I threw away the remainder of my bottle of Babo and won't be re-ordering.
