Rave: Honest Sunscreen

[fortnightlily]

I picked up a 2-pack at Costco.  Granted, it's only SPF 30, but I put it on DS for the first time this morning and it was really easy to rub in and didn't have an overly sunscreen-y smell.  I also have a tube of ThinkBaby, but I've never tried to apply it myself, I sent it to daycare.

I guess we'll find out later today if it actually did the job.  It's rated well on the EWG list.

That is the exact opposite experience with ours from costco. Interesting.

Mine smelled, was super greasy, and never rubbed in. I returned it. Thank god for costco's return program.

Huh. I thought I remembered someone here complaining about that sunscreen. Is it greasy? How much was the 2 pack? We go through a lot of sunscreen in our house.

Weird! Wonder if the batches are inconsistent. It was a little greasy, but not unpleasently so. I feel like that's what made it easier to rub in.

ETA - I don't remember how much it cost.

I used it on P at the beach last month and loved it. It wasn't greasy, rubbed in pretty easily and worked great on her extremely fair skin.

I had the same experience.  Even my 4 year old was grossed out by the greasiness!  it had also separated by the second time I went to use it.  I put it on my face & was dying to get home and wash it off!

It seemed to do the sun protection part well.

I have it and love it too!!

We really like it too. @republicrat, it was $11.99 for a 2-pack at our local Costco. You know, the one by the big outdoor mall

We used Honest and Badger on J when we went on vacation a few weeks ago. Honest was slightly greasier than Badger, but rubbed in better. He has super pale skin and didn't burn at all.

Yeah, my friend brought it with them to the beach and had this same experience. Plus they all wound up with bad sunburns despite reapplication. She is writing a letter to the company

We use honest sunscreen and like it! DD has red hair and is VERY fair skinned and it works so well on her!
