Q: How is this "mineral-based" if it contains one mineral but TWO chemical sunscreens (which aren't approved by the FDA)?
submitted by SunnyDays - 6 years ago
A: Hi there! Thanks for asking. We've updated the formula since this question was asked, and I'm happy to share we use Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as active ingredients. Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide are two minerals that physically block and scatter the sun's harmful rays. Additionally, this sunscreen is FDA Registered. – Amber, babyganics Consumer Care

Q: What is the difference between mineral based and broad spectrum?
submitted by Katina - 6 years ago
A: Thanks for reaching out. Mineral based means the sunscreen is formulated with mineral active ingredients (i.e. Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide). Broad Spectrum means an SPF blocks both UVA & UVB rays. This product is both mineral based and provides broad spectrum protection. – Amber, babyganics Consumer Care

Q: Is this sunscreen reef safe?
submitted by Clarkski - 7 years ago
A: Yes! Our sunscreen is Reef-Friendly. The most current formula contains 5.0% Octisalate, 3.0% Titanium Dioxide and 6.0% Zinc Oxide as active ingredients. – Amber, babyganics Consumer Care
submitted byBabyganics Team - 5 years agoBrand expertA: The active ingredients are Zinc oxide 11.2%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5.0%. The octinoxate and octisalate are what you want to avoid. Oxybenzones are harmful, too. Try finding a sunscreen with mineral zinc oxide. Hope this helps!

Q: What is the recommended age?
submitted by Sam54 - 8 years ago
A: Sunscreen is generally recommended for ages 6 months and higher. Babies younger than that should not be exposed to so much sun that they would need sunscreen, but if it can't be avoided, most doctors will say to use sunscreen in those limited instances.
submitted byMF - 8 years agoA: For babies under six months, we recommend consulting with your doctor before use. – Elizabeth, babyganics Consumer Care

I wanted to use this on my grandchildren, but it is impossible to read the instructions because they are much too small. Yes I suppose I can take a picture and blow it up. But wouldn't it be nice if you could make it customer friendly instead of having to jump through hoops to use it?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Please know I will share your feedback with the appropriate people as it's very important you’re able to read our labels. For best use of our products, we recommend applying to children at least 6 months of age liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Additionally, reapplication is needed every 2 hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. For further questions, please give us a call weekdays at 1-800-378-780 between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT and mention reference number: 22538802.

Is this made only for Snow White kids? I’m not even sure if this stuff works. It doesn’t even look like it rubs into the skin? This picture is after I dried his skin and re applied. It looks like this after the first application but a little better when I first apply. I’m more of a honey Carmel color and it looks ashy on me too. My son is mixed Asian and Spanish.

I’m sorry to hear you're not satisfied with our Mineral Sunscreen Lotion. We use physical sunscreen ingredients, so it works by sitting on top of the skin to physically block and scatter the sun’s harmful rays and can be slightly visible on the skin. Understanding this product didn’t work out for you, we’d like to help. Please give us a call at 1-800-378-7803 (Weekdays between 8 a.m.-5 p.m., CST) and mention reference number: 22514536. Hope to hear from you soon!

This is the sunscreen I use for my entire family, even the adults. We are extremely fair skinned and sensitive skinned. It’s worked great, we’ve used it on our bodies for years. We use a Bare Republic sheer mineral on our faces. Yes, it leaves a white cast on the skin because it’s a mineral sunscreen. It’s made to create a barrier and sit on the skin. I’m more worried about skin health rather than what we look like. Australians have been using mineral based sunscreen for years. We reapply every two(ish) hours. Since it is a mineral sunscreen it is possible for the product to separate a little bit in the tube. Gently shake and massage the tube before using. If you see only oil coming out at first then it’s not fully blended. It’s also possible that some people are using expired products. The expiration date is on the product. If it’s expired, it does not work as well. I have picked up the product off the shelf and noticed tubes were expiring soon. I think the negative reviews are from people who don’t understand how a mineral based sunscreen works. Also I prefer using a crème rather than a spray. An aerosol spray is not good for the environment or lungs. This sunscreen works for us every time.

Sunscreen is so important for everyone of all ages and this stuff definitely doesn’t inspire consistent use. Bad white cast but that’s not the worst part….it’s doesn’t rub in! It feels like chalk. I’m an hour into using it and it’s still so streaky and is rubbing off on my clothes, the car, everything! Go get a sunscreen that will make life easy and that you will be happy about using.

Reading the other reviews is a little disappointing. This sunscreen is awesome! I am medium skin toned and so is my toddler, but my baby and husband are very fair. I put this on all of them and no one walked away with a sunburn EXCEPT MAMA of course! I was busy applying sunscreen on everyone else I forgot to put some on me. The only spot I got was my tattoo on my upper arm before my toddler started to make a run for the water. My shoulders and back were burnt but where I put the sunscreen on was perfectly fine it’s crazy. There is a white cast but to me that just means there’s another layer protecting your children from the sun so I’m not bothered by it. I would rather them have that than a sunburn and in pain.

Oh dear. We use physical sunscreen ingredients to help block and scatter the sun’s rays, so we do expect a little visibility (white cast), however we expect the product to easily rub in and wash off at the end of day. Since this hasn’t been the case you, we’d appreciate the chance to make this up to you.
