Not impressed.
I bought the Alba Botanica Pure Lavender Sunscreen SPF 45 a few days ago because I hadn't ever tried it before. I shouldn't have wasted my money on this sunscreen. I thought it looked interesting because it was lavender scented and you don't really see that much with sunblock [well I've never seen it before]. I like Alba products because they are natural but this is definitely a let down. The lavender scent isn't too overpowering, it's just kind of light and calming. The problem with the sunscreen is the greasy feel and it's lack of absorption. The lotion just has a greasy feel to it right when you put it in your hands. When I put it on my arms I felt like I just sat there rubbing and rubbing to try to get it absorbed into my skin. It left that white film on my skin that would NOT go away. I tried using less of the product when I was putting it on my legs, thinking I just used too much on my arms. But I still had the same problem. It just wants to sit on top of my skin. I don't know how well it protects you from the sun because I washed the greasy mess off my body. I do NOT recommend Alba Botanica Pure Lavender Sunscreen SPF 45. It's a real let down.
