I just spent a lot of money on California Baby sunscreen only to have my daughter look like she was rolling around in flour because the white film it leaves looks horrible on brown skin.
Any recommendations for a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 that would not look horrible on brown skin?

We use Think Baby because it seems to rub in better and not leave that purple-white tint on my beautiful cocoa baby

@Mrs. Jacks: Thanks. I will give that a try. I want her to be protected but I also don't want people looking at her like she's ashy

@mrsjazz: I agree. Just know that it's not perfect either, but I don't think it leaves the ashy look

I like Babo Botanicals sunscreen. It claims to have clear zinc. It still goes on kind of white, but it rubs in well. Smells great. Also comes in a stick.

We use Alba Botanicals for kids and it rubs right in! I hate sunscreen film!

I have neutrogeena that rubs in really well. I use it for her face.

@autumnlove: I just got Alba sunscreen this past week at Whole Foods! I think it was on sale too, @MrsJazz! It's SPF 30 and on the tube (in huge font!), it actually says "Very Emollient Sunscreen"...
I hate the white film too because my girls have brown skin Well, the label is true... It rubs in very nicely!

@Mrs. Jacks: @mrsjazz: just used our Think Baby sunscreen for the first time today and I'm happy! Waterproof and SPF 50. I bought baby badger for daycare and that was def harder to rub in!

@autumnlove: ooh I'll look out for the spray version! And yours is a higher SPF (mine is 30). Must look out for that next time! Thanks for the photo!
