goddess gardenBaby SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion - Sensitive Skin, Reef Safe, Sheer Zinc, Broad Spectrum, Water Resistant, Non-Nano, Vegan, Leaping Bunny Cruelty-Free - 3.4 oz Tube

I decided to give this sunscreen a try since I heard it was a new formula. I had bought Goddess Garden sunscreen in the past since I like natural, non-toxic and reef-safe options. But I found the old formula to be dry, hard to rub in and gave me a pasty-white look. This new version is MUCH better. It goes on smoothly and rubs in easily. It doesn't leave a white cast. I could wear this everyday on my face and underneath my makeup now. I also liked that it didn't have a strong smell, since I hate sunscreen smells, even if faint.

We counted on this sunscreen for a beach trip What a mistake that was. Despite following the directions, my entire family has terrible sunburns. It has ruined our trip but more concerning is the pain and damage to my children’s skin.We will not use this product again.------------------------------------------------------------------Update: I reached out to Goddess Garden on Instagram - here's the conversation:ME:: I am so disappointed. We have been working to choose healthier products for our family so this summer I switched to Goddess Garden sunscreen. Unfortunately, we found your Baby SPF 50 sunscreen to be completely ineffective. Our family used it on our first day of our beach vacation but despite following the directions completely - everyone ended up sunburned. What I hoped would be an investment in protecting our skin, instead left us vulnerable to moderate to severe sunburns. I don’t know if we got a bad batch or what. [picture included]@GODDESS GARDEN: We are so sorry to hear that! Did you make sure to reapply after 40 min of swimming and/or sweating or at least every two hours? Many people get burnt because they don’t reapply their sunscreen regularly. If applied correctly our sunscreens should prevent burns.ME;we followed the directions which day to reapply after 80 minutes. That picture is my daughter’s shoulder after just under 2 hours at the beach. She never got in the water past her thighs (and even then she didn’t stay in long).My 3 year old who didn’t get in the water at all is burnt all over his face. Thankfully his UV swim shirt and shorts protected most of his body. He never got in the water.My 17 year old’s legs are swollen and my 16 year old has blisters on her arms and back.It’s almost like putting this product in attracted the sun.[Included photo of directions saying 80 minutes]@GODDESSGARDEN: We are truly sorry that you guys got burnt. We pride ourselves on the effectiveness of our sunscreens and all of the positive feedback we receive, so we are not sure what could have happened.ME: I’m really disappointed that y’all are not willing to consider that it was faulty and investigate. That’s shameful. We trusted you and your product to protect us - instead you brought significant pain and increased our risk of skin cancer.@GODDESSGARDEN: Hello, are you able to send us the lot number and expiration date for the product that you used so that we can look into this? You should be able to find where it is pinched on the top of the sunscreen tube. We would also like to send you a replacement if you would like. Again, we are so sorry to hear that the product did not work for you guys. Thank you.ME: Thank you for taking our concern seriously enough to look into the batch. It was very frustrating to be told "Sorry" but nothing be done about it - it appeared very dismissive.I will be happy to send you that information. I am returning it to Amazon for a refund, so please do not send me a replacement. I will respond shortly with the lot number.@GODDESSGARDEN: Thank you and we apologize if we came off dismissive, that was not our intention. Thank you for sending the expiration and lot number-we will look into this batch.

I got this for my 5 month old baby but ended up loving it as my new sunscreen! It has nice scent but not overpowering. I hate greasy sunscreens but this one feels light and non-greasy which I really love. I have sensitive skin but I have no skin problem so far. I used this on my baby the other day, no skin reactions or anything like that so I will continue using this on my baby this summer. The only downside is that I noticed it leaves a white residue just a little bit... But compare to other natural sunscreens I have used in the past, this is totally acceptable. It's so minimal. I still love this sunscreen anyway.

It's thick, leaves a slight white cast (but it's still noticeable and I'm already kinda pale from Winter), makes my skin feel kind of tacky/oily (I have combo, pretty "average" skin), and contains fragrance/essential oils. BUT it has the highest percentage of zinc oxide I've seen in any mineral sunscreen (which is apparently better than sunscreens with lower percentages of two or more active mineral ingredients). Also, the flip side of it being kind of tacky and shiny is that I don't have to use a primer under my makeup and it gives me a dewy look (just don't forget to blot every once in a while).This product, like many other popular mineral sunscreens (Sun Bum, Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen, Blue Lizard) has Phenoxyethanol as well :( I'm not sure but I hope it's below the 1% line and I know it's a commonly used as a preservative. I figured it's better than it being the active, main ingredient!

I bought this for my two year old granddaughter before a beach trip. I am happy with how well it goes on, very smoothly and it protects well. I also purchased the stick for face for ease of reapplying. We took normal precautions while at the beach; limited her exposure time to direct sunlight, hat, etc., but felt confident she was protected for the times no overhead cover was available. Every child's skin is different, so test it on your's before your activities require heavy sun protection. Will purchase again for our grand-babies.

My daughter has incredibly sensitive skin with eczema. All other sunscreens I've tried have given her a rash. I am beyond happy with this sunscreen. It's easier to spread than some of the others that I've tried and we've had no issues with rashes (and we used it all summer long). On top of that, it has a nice lavender scent. Overall very, very happy with the quality of this product and would highly recommend it!

My kids, especially my infant daughter, has super sensitive skin and allergies. This sunscreen has worked well for us! We’re pretty fair and we’ve yet to be burned while wearing this. It’s not difficult to rub in either, which is important for a squirming baby. Smell is almost nonexistent and pleasant. Added perk: cruelty-free! This is our go-to from now on!

I have very sensitive skin and have been using this sunscreen for a little while now. I use it especially on my face. It doesn't smell that good. It's thick and I usually add a couple drops of moisturizing oil to it to dilute it and make it easier to apply. I love that it doesn't make my face whiter like a lot of other sunscreens do. It's a lot better than other sunscreens I've used but I wouldn't say that it's the best.

Muy fácil de aplicar, no es grumoso aunque sea mineral. No deja residuos blancos, siempre que se esparce bien, sino se apelmaza. No deja la piel grasosa (tengo piel mixta con acné, como referencia) y no tiene aroma. Lo volvería a comprar.

Me sirvió mucho para entrar a los parques en donde cuidan los arrecifes, lo que no me gusto tanto es que es muy cremoso.
