California Baby Everyday SPF 30+ Sunscreen | Mineral Based | Titanium Dioxide | Travel Size Baby Sunscreen for Face + Body | Floral Scent | 2.9oz

I love this sunscreen! It is free of toxic chemicals (which is a huge plus!) but it also works perfectly for delicate little faces. This lotion protects better than others (like Aveeno for instance). It goes on thick, so you can see where you are putting it on and you can be sure you're not going to miss a spot. Make sure you rub it in well otherwise, it will in fact leave a whitish residue. The smell is not fishy at all - it is closer to a citronella fragrance. Not absolutely delightful, but not unpleasant either. I absolutely recommend this product.

We read a lot of info about sunscreens - I fish in the tropics all the time and as a result need good sunscreen to avoid excess UVA and UVB. Our research (check the web) showed that many of the popular sunblocks you by in big retailers have ingredients that may not be very healthy for you and we tried ones that had few or no questionable ingredients. Eventually we tried this sunblock and even though it's SPF30 it blocks sun, as far as I can tell, as well as some of the namebrands like Coppertone Sport 70 and 100 SPF sunscreens. We use this on our toddler and it works great. Only negative is like any sunscreen that uses titanium dioxide as the primary ingredient, your face will be pasty white upon first application until you rub it in. The positive is this type of sunscreen actually blocks both UVA *and* UVB whereas popular sunscreens only block - most only block UVB.

A friend had this item for their child and I have been looking for a product that is safe for my dog who has a pink nose. For children: is thick and a little bit goes a long way and it seriously waterproof, not even soap and water gets it off first time. For my dog: good coverage and cannot lick it away, and organic. 4 star because it's a bit pricey.

Very water proof, good ingredients, and very effective. The downside also relates to how waterproof it is: it can be both hard to rub in, and difficult to wash off. I've also seen it turn certain skin tones a bit purplish unless rubbed in VERY well (this mostly seems to affect Asian skin tones). However, for me it's the only body sunscreen I use (it's much too thick for the face).

I have fair, sensitive skin and have found that this sunscreen not only does the job it was made for, but it also does not have the harsh chemicals that damage my skin. I line in Florida and have used it in the pool, at the beach and when I knew I would be out in the sun a lot. As long as I followed the directions (re-applying when I should) I never got burned.It has a light scent that reminds me of Froot Loops cereal - and I am OK with that. :)

This one smells of lemongrass and is a bit too strong for me. The smell doesnt seem to bother my daughter tho, only me. This sunscreen is sensitive and doesnt harm baby, but Im not a fan of it. If your only concern is coverage then this is a great product to use. It lasts a good while and its best to always reapply after swimming or 2-3 hours. Even though Im not too fond of the smell, I have used it on many occasions bc it does the job.!

I climb mountains, so my skin gets the maximum possible exposure to the sun (direct, high altitudes = less atmospheric protection, and reflection off the snow from below). I purchased this and three other highly rated sunscreens. The others are zinc or titanium oxide based. All do a fairly good job of protecting my skin.The big difference, and why this one wins out over the others is the smoothness of application. The others are rather 'stiff', and require a fair bit of working in to get good coverage and no white spots. I always end up coming home with a spot or two that got missed (elbows, back of the arm, etc) and are bright pink. Not to mention the white stains on my shirts. With this sunscreen, it goes on smoothly, lasts the 3-5 hours between applications (may last longer, but I don't even try), and I don't have sensitive pink spots in out of the way places.

The sunscreen arrived quickly, however, I received a tube that expires next year. I usually buy California Baby unscented sunscreen, but this is the first time I've gotten a tube that can basically be used for only one summer. I tried a little of the sunscreen on my baby's arm as a test since the product is scented. The smell kept making him sneeze. He stopped sneezing as soon as I removed it from his arm.I contacted customer service in order to return the item, but was told that despite the notice on the amazon page for the sunscreen stating that it was eligible for free returns, I could not return it. The excuse given was that a return could not be done on certain purchases because of "healthy and safety concerns". Hence, I am quite disappointed with amazon.com, the seller and the sunscreen.
