California Baby Sunscreen

Is California Baby the one that leaves a white film on the skin?

Yes. I like it for times like outside playing in the yard all day, but I personally wouldn't use it for the beach. We've tried it and it was a disaster. We're all very prone to sunburn, and it did not protect as well as some of the mainstream brands. I will not be taking any natural sunscreen to the beach this summer. We ARE very pale and get burns very, very easily, so for some people it's probably fine.

It's white when you put it on but it rubs in okay. I've never noticed a white film.  (Of course, we're a pastey, white family so maybe it just blends in with our regular skin tone and I don't notice it!)

Pretty much every single natural sunscreen I've ever used leaves a white film so I wouldn't expect California Baby to be any different. It's because they're based on zinc and/or titanium dioxide.

Blue Lizard and neutrogena free & clear baby also leave a white film, but I don't care.  I don't think it looks that bad (on kids.)
