Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50, Fragrance-Free 2 fl. oz. — Lightweight, Water-Resistant

This compact 2 fl. oz. bottle is formulated for everyday facial sun protection: mineral actives offer broad-spectrum defense while skin-supporting ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, and vitamin E help maintain moisture and comfort. The formula is cruelty-free, biodegradable, and designed to dry down sheer so it layers easily under makeup or over daily moisturizers. With up to 80 minutes of water resistance, it suits active days outdoors while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types.

How will this sunscreen feel on my face?

• Non-greasy texture suitable for daily use
• Non-comedogenic to minimize pore congestion
• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk

Is this effective for active, water-based activities?

This SPF 50 lotion offers broad-spectrum protection and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, helping maintain coverage during pools, lakes, or sweaty workouts. Reapplication after swimming or heavy sweating is still recommended for prolonged protection.
