Banana Boat Mineral Protect Sensitive / Kids

Cheapest "Clean" Sunscreen out there – I and my children all have extremely sensitive skin. Having done some reading about sunscreens I was horrified to discover that many of the chemical UV absorbers actually damage your skin, so I set out to find a purely mineral sunscreen. I've tried brands like Wotnot and Soleo, and they are very good brands, but SO expensive. Finding this lovely, clean sunscreen by Banana Boat at less than half price at our local Coles was brilliant !

I apply this to the whole family, before we go to the beach; my husband wears it when he goes on his bike rides; and any time we're going out I slather it on. It does a brilliant job of keeping the sun off, so I can't really understand the review above, unless maybe they didn't put enough on ? I don't worry about it being white, or ghosting, I just slap it on thickly, so maybe that's the difference ? I also reapply after an hour or so at the beach, but not if we're not going to get wet.....

Anyway, HIGHLY recommended for sensitive skin and if you want to avoid chemical UV absorbers while not breaking the wallet :) Inexpensive, no UV absorbers, does not set off our sensitive skin, available at big supermarkets

Still got sunburnt – I bought this as I prefer products that are as natural as possible. Firstly, this stuff is really thick and hard to rub in, you need to use alot of it as it is really hard to spread over your skin. It also has a rather unpleasant smell. After it is rubbed in it still feels sticky and rather uncomfortable. It works ok if you don't really stay long in the sun, but I've been sunburnt while wearing it just walking around town, and when I wore it to the beach for swim I got terribly sunburnt, so it doesn't even really work. I switched to this from another all natural product because I also got terribly sunburnt using it too. This product also makes me break out in little pimples on my chest and shoulders and the sticky feeling is impossible to remove in the shower, you just have wait for it to wear off over a few days. All natural, no parabens, relatively inexpensive. Extremely thick, sticky, causes pimples, smells bad and doesn't seem to work.
