 This is product is not chemical freeJun 22, 2011
By Mic
I would highly recommend you do not use any of Alba's sunscreen products. They contain two chemicals that they use that are not good for the body. The two chemicals I am talking about are Octocrylene - Produces oxygen radicals when exposed to UV light and Homosalate - Research indicates it is a weak hormone disruptor, forms toxic metabolites, and can enhance the penetration of a toxic herbicide.
You think you can trust the name "Alba", but the truth of the matter is you can't. The two sunscreens I would recommend is Badger or Goddess Garden. It frustrates me that you have these companies out there saying that they are all natural but really aren't.

Not as good as it used to beJun 23, 2010
By Anne Elizabeth Daniels
I bought this to replace the Lavender SPF 30 they used to make, which was their flagship product before the company was sold to Hain. This is a far less superior product. It is greasy and the oil separates from the cream daily. That never used to happen so it is messy as a result. They also charge $2 more for the "new improved product". SPF 30 is all you really need anyway so this is not an improvement when you add the greasy feel, the $2 increase, and the overkill on SPF. Bottom line: I am looking for a new favorite sun product.

 Rubs in easily and protects wellSep 30, 2009

My family and I recently used this sunscreen during 10 days in Hawaii and it worked well. It protects even when you swim, though I do recommend reapplying after prolonged swimming just to be on the safe side. It has a mild, pleasant scent and is not greasy. This is a good daily sunscreen.
 Kept me nice and paleFeb 09, 2012

It kept me from getting sunburned all day on the water in Southeast Asia (though I did reapply every 2 hours as I'm paranoid and extremely blonde and pale), but I hated it on my face as it made it rather greasy. I started using an Alba sunscreen specifically for my face and that worked well.
 So-So.Oct 02, 2011

First of all, let me start off by saying that I really wanted to like this sunscreen. I am extremely careful about my daily sun exposure, and was hoping that this would be the solution to my search for the perfect daily sunscreen. Due to the fact that I apply my SPF pretty liberally on a daily basis, I feel that it's a good idea to use a product that uses natural ingredients since your skin can absorb whatever you put on it into your blood stream. My skin tends to be normal-to-dry, so I thought this emollient sunscreen would be just right.
So anyway, I was hoping that I would like this sunscreen for daily use. Unfortunately, I found that it made me too greasy and gave me that 'claustrophobic' sunscreen feeling when I started to sweat, which feels terrible. I gave it 3 stars because it might be okay for application on arms and legs or for a day at the beach, but it felt way too heavy on my face, neck, and décolletage.
I think the best option is to make your own natural face cream using Do It Gorgeously: How to Make Less Toxic, Less Expensive, and More Beautiful Productsand add Zinc Oxide Powder - 1 lb. in Quality Heat Sealed Resealable Zip Lock Pouch to make your own natural sunscreen. That way you know exactly what is going into your skincare, and there is no worry about scary chemicals that you can't pronounce.
