Babo BotanicalsSuper Shield SPF 50 Stick Sunscreen - 70% Organic Ingredients - Natural Zinc Oxide - for All Ages - NSF & Made Safe Certified - EWG Verified - Water Resistant - Fragrance-Free

I tried this brand for the first time to have a sunscreen on-the-go and it is perfect. The Shea butter helps hydrate and protect my face acting as a moisturizer!It is very tiny in size so I don’t recommend this size for beach day use, but perfect for applying in small areas (hands/face).

It was a small little sunscreen stick, but it was easy to spread on. There is no strong odor or smells. It wasn't greasy at all which was wonderful because I didn't feel like I needed to immediately wash it off. In fact as it wore off throughout the day I still didn't feel like I immediately needed to shower and scrub it off. It worked perfectly, so much so I have a few very thin sun strips on my arm where I clearly missed putting on the sunscreen. But that was my bad. I am very prone to sunburns and where I put the sunscreen on I have no burns or even pink skin. Even my small sun strips aren't bad. Plus, I seem to have an allergic reaction to most sunscreens, I had no reactions to this one. Super wonderful and I love it.

The product itself is great and it works well, waterproof and sweat proof however in the pursuit of outdoor activities you will probably look like the undead catching some rays.This doesn’t necessarily bother me as I would rather not look like a used paper bag as I age. That, and my plants and animals are the only ones to see me during my moments of georgian beauty. Overall I would say that this is a good produce. Application is easy, you don’t get it all over your hands during it, and even rubbing it in doesn’t result in caking your hands in the stuff.It’s very thick and does not smell amazing but in the name of skincare, I’d buy this again.

I use all of the BABU brand sunblocks: the 30 SPF; 40 SPF and 50 SPF lotions. They are all excellent. They glide on the skin nicely and do not leave a white cast and they have a very light pleasant smell. The BABU 50 sunblock stick is the latest in this awesome family of sunblocks. It glides on nicely; stays in place and does not leave a ghastly white cast like most sunblock sticks do. It fits in my pocket and I love having instant access to a robust 50 SPF sunblock. It can also be used on the lips in a pinch ! I highly recommend this sunblock !

I have tried at least 8 different natural sunscreen brands. Babo is my favorite. I have used Babo Botanicals SPF 40 Daily Sheer Facial Sunscreen, Babo Botanicals SPF 30 Clear Zinc Lotion, Babo Botanicals SPF 30 Fragrance Free Clear Zinc Sport Stick, and this Babo Botanicals Super Shield SPF 50 Natural Sport Stick. I like them all: they are less gooey and less white than other similar product, so they are easier to apply and don't give too much ghost-look. And my 2 sons and I have never gotten sunburn using them, usually with just one application in the morning (contrary to the recommendation). I mostly order this particular stick because the design of the case for this stick is PERFECT. The lid covers basically the entire stick, so when I'm putting it on and rubbing it in and putting more on, the white, oily, stickiness on my hands only gets on the inside portion of the container, and when I put the lid on it it totally clean! Also, the flattened stick provides a wider area of application and does not roll off the counter -- a significant improvement over the round stick. I also find it easier to wedge into my purse, the car, etc. However, this product gets an EWG Skin Deep score of 4 (kind of bad), whereas their round SPF 30 sport stick scores 1 (best). So seemingly, the round stick has better ingredients, so I wish they would also package it in this flatter style. BUT, interestingly, the only difference in the ingredients is that this stick contains Oryzanol, which is rated 1 by EWG, so I do not understand why this product gets a 4. So I'll probably continue to order this, because of the advantages of the flat design. It might be nice if they sold it in a larger size, but this generally lasts 3 people about 2 weeks (of daily use), so it is a decent size.

Hydrating and good for the skin, but severe white cast and does not rub in.

I use this as a daily sunblock on my face. I apply it after my serums and moisturizer, then apply a light facial oil on top. It's acts as a primer and works great under makeup. It's seems to help my makeup stay on longer and I don't get any creasing. I haven't gotten burned, however I usually wear hats, so I can't attest to how well it'll stand up to direct sun, but it has worked great as a daily sunblock lotion and moisturizer. I have very sensitive, reactive skin, and I've had no issues at all.

It is not quickly absorbed as described. It is very sticky! Also it leaves a white cast. It’s so sticky that my hair got “stuck” on my face. Unfortunately it’s not returnable. Just a heads up for anyone who’s hoping it’s a quick dry sun stick I’m sorry to report it’s NOT.
