Most Helpful Positive Review Whoa Babo! I'd seen Babo sunscreens listed in the EWG database (which rates personal care products based on research of ingredients) for quite some time, but had never tried any of their products until last week. When I first used this product I was honestly blown away. This is one of the smoothest, easist to blend sunscreens I have ever tried. It blends, doesn't peel, and seems to fill in fine lines, wrinkles and other texture. After being applied on me, it seems to have a bit of a tacky feel, which is a feature you'll see in some makeup primers to help make up adhere to the skin, so the slight tackiness could be a pro or con depending of your preference. The finish is so nice, I don't feel the need to much makeup, maybe just a bit of powder instead of foundation. The color of this product I would say is a warm medium tone. If you are very fair, I'm not sure if you'll like it or not. If you are a person of color, I'm also not sure, but it's better than a spf with a white cast. Overall, this is a keeper! Well done Babo!
Most Helpful Critical Review Not the gentle sunscreen I was hoping for I was really hopeful for this product. It honestly acts more like a light coverage foundation then it does a sunscreen. I was looking for a light, dewy-complexion sunscreen that would be gentle for my everyday use. This product, while a very runny formula, is very hard to apply because it does not spread or blend into skin well. And it definitely has a color, it was almost too dark for my skin tone. Therefore, I ended up putting on more and more to make sure my face and neck were evenly applied with the sunscreen. Afterwards, my face felt tacky and took a while for that to dry. My skin looked beautiful and glowy after immediate application, but my face felt dry and itchy throughout the day and my acne felt increasingly worse and got worse in the next couple days after using this product.
If you are looking for a gentle daily sunscreen (with maybe a dewy complexion formula), I cannot recommend this product.
If you are looking for a light coverage foundation that will give you a little bit of glow and decent SPF. This might be exactly what you are looking for! I would want that it may not be a good product for you if you have sensitive skin or get acne regularly though.

Very shiny 3
Cindy from Michigan
The sunscreen is very runny so be careful, the tint is fine but I think is actually too light for me (light-medium). When you put this on you're 100% going to need to power it a tiny bit or use a matte setting spray because the amount of glow it gives off is almost too much
DO NOT BUY!!!!!! 1

I normally don't write reviews, but I HATE this product and I need to warn others. During this quarantine period I decided to become more healthy and go outside more often, so I needed a sunscreen to protect my skin ( I was mainly concerned about protecting my face). I came across this product and decided to buy, even though it was a bit pricey, I believed the quality was going to be amazing. I was excited because it was a tinted moisturizer as well and it could cover up some spots AND give me protection against the sun. But when i began to apply the product on my face, it was greasy, thick and would not properly blend in. Looking in the mirror, I could see that it was not properly blending and making my skin WHITE. Just for reference, I'm a brown, Indian girl so I believed this would match my shade, but it DIDN'T. And even worse, since using this product, I've been breaking out! My skin care routine is very minimal, but It works and I haven't had any major problems, but its getting so bad for my face. I really wish I read the ingredients before I bought these products, but this sunscreen has OILS in it which will clog your pores. Also, I ran the ingredients on this website which checks for fungal acne and TEN of their ingredients are known to cause fungal acne! Please! STAY AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE PRODUCT! Especially if you have oily skin!!

Why does this claim fragrance free! 3
Sly from Wa
The leasing claims fragrance free, but the ingredient list says fragrance. This sounds like false advertisement.
Not bad, not great. 3
Lei from United States
This was the first face sunscreen I've gotten. I was looking for a tinted one, so I didn't have to wear foundation or tinted moisturizer on top. This sunscreen is not for fair skin. I am very pale, I read a review that said it was good for her pale skin, so I decided to try, and it's not. It also claims to be non-greasy, but is very greasy, and feels heavy for my liking. I set it so it doesn't look at greasy, but as the day goes on the wear gets greasy. It isn't the worst, it does it's job as an SPF, and it gives you a nice glow. If you have dry skin and are tanned, this would be perfect for you. I also have VERY sensitive skin and this SPF claims it's ideal for sensitive skin, and it didn't upset my skin too much. I was expecting my skin to freak out after using SPF (which is why this is my first one) but I had a good experience. I won't buy it again, but for someone with dry, tan skin this would perform very well.
Not good in any way 1
Jb from Kc
Bought this because they changed Coola. Big mistake. It smothers your skin, will not breathe, stings, it's sticky. Smells like latex paint.
perfect dewy complexion 4
ash from ks
I mix this and the white sensitive one together to achieve my skin tone. I wear this as a uv protector, moisturizer, and foundation. looks amazing. however, the tan one gives me minor zits so I use more of the white.
So sticky and shiny 1
Brittanica from Peoria, AZ
I was excited to try this - tinted, SPF, and for sensitive skin is all amazing. Sadly this product is much greaser than other face sunscreens I've owned. Can not even wear.
Turns Sticky 1
Deedee from Alabama
This product is one of the worst sunscreens I have ever used. It is hard to apply because it is so thin and then makes me look greasy after drying. As the day wore on, my face became sticky.
The only facial sunscreen that I'll wear! 5
Jo from Minneapolis
I am in Mexico often and this is my go-to facial sunscreen. It provides great sun protection and also gives a bit of coverage for blemishes/discoloration. I'm 39 years old, blonde hair/green eyes with combo/oily skin and did not find this product to be greasy, I actually love the dewy look that I have after applying, it makes my skin look great!
NOT VEGAN 4
Alex from NorCal
Cruelty Free.... Yes. Vegan... not so much. Vegan and Cruelty Free are two very different things.
That being said... I love this product. I apply it every morning, and it has a beautiful, dewy finish. For reference, I am a light skinned Caucasian with warm/neutral undertones.
I'm not a Vegan, so I don't really care that there's Carmine in the ingredients. I just felt compelled to make that distinction because I used to be Vegan, and back then, I would have NEVER purchased anything with Carmine in it.
This is NOT FRAGRANCE FREE 1
Skin sensitive from Los Angeles
I don't know if Ulta has the ingredients wrong or they are marketing it wrong on accident or what. But the ingredients clearly says FRAGRANCE. However the picture of the bottle in front does state that it's good for sensitive skin. Now if this does have fragrance in it I would say it's wrong to say it's good for sensitive skin. But at least it doesn't say fragrance free!
Ulta get the ingredients correct! Or get fragrance free out of the title!
Nice color 5
Eileen from Stockton
Blends well and doesn't crease up. I use it under makeup
Too Greasy 1
Shmeeva from Santa Cruz, CA
I bought this a month ago and it is too greasy to use. Sad because it is advertised as a non-greasy product. Won't be purchasing again.
smooth and light, adds a beautiful glow! 5
melissanutrition from undisclosed
This is a beautifully light tinted moisturizer with only simple and clean ingredients
Smooth 4
Suzie from Florida
I bought this a few weeks ago and really like the way it blends into my skin.
False advertisement 1
Mel from NY
How can it say in the details that this is fragrance-free when there's 'fragrance' listed in the ingredients?
Great ingredients. Wish it came in other shades. 4
Becs6 from Philadelphia
Very moisturizing, but the tint is definitely more for people with a light/medium skin tone. It would be great if there was more of a shade range: deep, tan, fair/light.
Love the concept but it's a little sticky/shiny 3
Kristin from FL
I love using this knowing it contains natural safe ingredients. If I could change it for the better I'd make it less sticky and less of a shiny finish.
Best color, Best Texture, Beautiful dewy look 5
cristina from asheville, nc
If you want a one step easy 'no makeup' makeup look with a mineral sunscreen that is dewy, this is it. I can't get over how beautiful this product is.
Light and absorbs fast 5
Jamie26 from Los Angeles Ca
It very light and is great for those mornings when I just a little something and not look like I have too much make up. But it makes you look flawless.
Amazing! Even for sensitive skin 5
Shannon from wyoming
I have extremely sensitive skin and DRY skin. This is one of the few lotions I have ever found that does not aggravate my skin. I am so excited to have the tint and the sunscreen. Will absolutely reorder!
Love this tinted sunscreen! 5
Beagle mom from SF
It's perfect for my dry skin and I love that it's tinted. It's ideal for mature skin and does not enhance any lines or wrinkles. Best part it's cruelty free!
