Product details

Alba Botanica Sensitive Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic sunscreen in a 3 fl oz tube that provides broad-spectrum protection and lightweight daily moisture.

This fast-absorbing lotion is formulated for sensitive skin and delivers SPF 50 defense against UVA and UVB rays while helping maintain hydration with vitamin E and ceramides. The hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested formula omits oxybenzone, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances, making it a simple option for those seeking clean, effective sun protection in a travel-ready size.

How effective is this sunscreen at protecting my skin during outdoor activities?

Alba Botanica Sensitive SPF 50 blocks a high percentage of UVB rays and offers broad-spectrum protection that also addresses UVA exposure. The water-resistant formula helps maintain protection when you're active outdoors.

  • SPF 50 for strong UVB protection
  • Broad-spectrum formulation for UVA/UVB coverage
  • Water-resistant for up to 40 minutes during swimming or sweating
  • Non-comedogenic to reduce pore clogging risk

Is this lotion suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types?

Yes — the lotion is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested to be gentle on sensitive skin. It is formulated without common irritants like oxybenzone, synthetic fragrances, parabens, and sulfates.

  • Fragrance-free to minimize irritation
  • Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested
  • Free of oxybenzone, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances
  • Non-comedogenic so it won't clog pores

How does the lotion feel and perform in daily use?

The lightweight, hydrating texture spreads easily and absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue. It doubles as a moisturizing step thanks to vitamin E and ceramides, so skin feels softer while protected from the sun.

  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion base
  • Contains vitamin E and ceramides for immediate moisturization
  • Easy to apply for full-body coverage
  • Travel-friendly 3 fl oz tube for day trips and carry-on bags

How should I use and reapply this sunscreen for best results?

Apply generously to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure and rub in until evenly distributed. Reapply at least every two hours, and more often after towel-drying, swimming, or heavy sweating to maintain SPF protection.

  • Apply 15 minutes before going outdoors
  • Reapply every two hours or after water exposure
  • Use a palmful for face and several tablespoons for full-body coverage
  • Store in a cool place away from direct heat to preserve efficacy
