20% non-nano zinc oxide — physical UV filter that scatters UVA and UVB without absorbing into skin — in a base of plant oils and antioxidant extracts. Sheer formula means it rubs in close to clear instead of leaving the chalky white cast traditional zinc lotions are known for. Reef-safe (no oxybenzone or octinoxate), broad-spectrum SPF 50, water-resistant 80 minutes.
The version sensitive-skin users buy when they want a face-safe daily mineral sunscreen they can wear under makeup or moisturizer. Pairs with the Babo baby line for family beach trips. Pediatricians and dermatologists recommend it specifically for kids with eczema-prone skin who can’t tolerate chemical filters.
Babo Botanicals is plant-based skincare made in the USA since 2004 — founded by Kate Solomon for her own sensitive-skin son.
