About this sunscreen
Babo Botanicals Baby Skin Mineral Sunscreen Pump Spray SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide as its only UV filter. It wears matte with low white cast and a lightweight feel, which is uncommon for an all-mineral spray. It does not commonly sting and is generally low on pore-clogging risk, though it is a poor choice as a makeup base. Protection is rated moderate, and at 73.6 out of 100 it is a gentle mineral pick for body use.
