Sprays like oily chalk
Had I realized what exactly mineral sunscreen was, I wouldnât have bought this. It sprays white and it does not rub into your skin. It leaves a white film that I couldnât get off my skin until scrubbing in the shower. Couldnât rub it out of my swimsuit either. I was so excited for the fragrance free, but itâs not worth it for the application and execution of this sunscreen.

NOT for everyone. You need to understand mineral sunscreen, BUT I LOVE THIS STUFF
Based on what I look for in a spray on sunscreen this product is FANTASTIC. BUT… if you don’t understand what to expect when buying a spray on mineral sunscreen, you may be disappointed. Mineral sunscreens are generally made of zinc oxide (ZO) or titanium dioxide (TO), which are PHYSICAL sunblocks. That means they work by forming a “skin on your skin” which REFLECTS UVA/UVB back out. By contrast, chemical sunblocks (avobenzone, octinoxate and oxybenzone) work to ABSORB and neutralize UVA/UVB. These chemicals generally leave a shiny finish on the skin, which can look oily. However there are newer formulations of chemical sunblocks which are more matte. While chemical sunblocks are considered safe for humans, many people find chemical sunblocks to be irritating, and they are definitely toxic for marine life. (They burn my eyes terribly.)Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are chalky white substances that inherently leave a white cast on the skin but are non irritating to most people. You can even use mineral sunscreens around the eye area with no discomfort. But as for the white cast, there’s no way around this. SPRAY on mineral sunblocks are generally used on the body (not face) and in order to get sufficient protection, they contains a heavy amount of ZO and TD.I ONLY use physical (mineral) sunblocks. This product needs to be shaken hard right before each use in order to evenly distribute the active ingredients. I only use it on my body given the thick heavy white cast it leaves. But when I am getting ready to go biking in the bright sun, it’s a VERY FAST way to cover my legs, arms, and neck safe and effectively. I don’t really care that I’m white as a ghost while going out for a workout. What I want is mineral sunblock coverage that I can apply rapidly. For this purpose, this product is exceptional.Other reviewers complained that the can still felt full but ran out of propellant so it was wasted. That’s caused by not shaking the can heavily before each use. If the spray tip clogs, just like any other spray, just run it under some warm water for a minute or two.

It works, but it’s not the best option for me
It works as a sunscreen, which is what I wanted. The spray is a little wonky, a thick and thin mist all at once, but overall, reasonably acceptable coverage.However, it has quite a noticeable white cast for being sheer and quite a noticeable stank for being fragrance free. I can deal with the white cast well enough, but the scent, especially for being unscented, is not exactly pleasant and it lingers. I get that it’s natural, but it seriously smells like….Play-Doh….or maybe just wet dough?I’ll deal with the negatives and use it ’til gone because I’m cheap and that whole sunburn thing will be avoided, but I won’t repurchase.

Great protection!
This was super easy to apply and kept my toddler from burning in the summer Florida sun!

Great when it works
I purchased this type because Alba products in general, tend to avoid potentially toxic or carcinogenic ingredients. I am immune suppressed from an organ transplant and now prone to skin cancer, both from the sun and absorbing harmful chemicals often found in common off the shelf products. I use the research website SkinDeep.com to evaluates the toxicity of ingredients of skin care products. The mineral (zinc) based sunblock products always rank the most favorably, and Alba generally ranks higher than most. In this case, when the zinc compound came out of the container well mixed, it did a great job of sun protection over a 2 week vacation.However, like other reviewers have experienced, most of the time I had the same problems with the ingredients mixing, even after shaking vigorously for over a minute. Sometimes it would spray out a watery clear liquid with no, or little zinc visible, other times the zinc was so thick that it would barely ooze out to the nozzle. One can lost enough pressure to push the thick goo out,leaving a quarter full can, and no way of using it.

White cast and sticky and pills up
I really loved the alba mineral sport sunscreen, but it took a while to rub in on the go, so I thought the spray version would be easier. It’s not at all sheer. It doesnt rub in. I tried to reduce the appearance of the white streaking and pilled up white bits all over my body but body oil and lotion did little to dissolve the white. I’ve felt sticky in my clothes all day. If you don’t mind the white cast formula, then it is full coverage and gets the job done. But I can’t be spending money on a tanner only to turn back to white. That’s hilarious.

White goop spray is non-refundable
I bought two, since we were going on vacation and it was a spray listed as “sheer” BUT it put a white layer on our skin that was really hard to remove and also rubbed off on clothes. Tried to return the unopened can, but this is NON-REFUNDABLE. Unless you want to look like Caspar the ghost, don’t bother with this product.

Avevo comprato lo stesso prodotto in versione 50spf e mi ero trovata benissimo, questo invece, non ostante lo abbia sempre agitato prima di usarlo, buttava fuori una patina bianca difficilissima da stendere, l’ho dovuto buttare perché inutilizzabile

This is nowhere near as bad as other reviews imply but it is also not easy to use. When first using it you have to spray it until it stops spraying the clear runny liquid and starts to spray the sunscreen. The sunscreen itself has a slightly different texture than their other mineral sunscreen in the squeezy bottle. At first it almost seems like it will not rub into the skin then it suddenly does. I have quite fair skin and it does leave a slight white cast on my skin, I think this will be much more obvious on darker skin tones. I haven’t had a problem with washing this off. Overall this product is alright, I will continue to use it on my arms and legs.

Iâm recently diagnosed with fragrance allergy and in holiday now.My husband and I tan really well and have used Piz Buin factor 30 up until now and never been burnt.Used this for the first time this morning and didnât know about the clear liquid thing, do now my husband is indoors as his legs and chest are burned and so is one of my legs. I tried reapplying and a white thick cream appeared which didnât rub in well and I have a white hue about me. Two sprays of the aerosol and now it wonât spray anymore. Iâm now stuck in the Canaries and canât find an alternative product here. Holiday ruined!!

Very disappointing as I have the factor 50 which is brilliant so I bought this as I wanted the same product with a lower factor. However, the factor 35 is completely different. It needs a lot of vigorous shaking or you end up spraying a clear very runny liquid all over yourself but then once shaken for several minutes a very thick, greasy white substance comes out which can’t even be rubbed in effectively. Ended up throwing the bottle away.

After realising I am allergic to the chemical filters in most suncream, I am so glad I can get mineral suncream on Amazon as it has been a life saver. Alba botanica is great and unlike most mineral suncream does not leave a white streaky coating on skin. However, the aerosol sadly broke after the first use so I had to order another albe cream in a tube while away on holiday. Without mineral suncream, which is not available in most places, I would have had. A miserable holiday. So thank god I brought back up ones. Don’t order this one, order the tube one and it will be great. But the aerosol did not work.
