This sunblock goes on thick so a bit difficult to work it into skin evenly and it is very expensive compared to Baby Magic. However, it has great coverage and we never got burned the whole 2 weeks in Hawaii. This is actually only made with organic ingredients since its only 70% organic per USDA guidelines (though guidelines are defuncted now) but since I like most of Earth's Best products, I decided to try it. I wasn't so concerned about whether sunblock was organic or not but rather what ingredients were in the sunblock. My kid and I have sensitive skin so the physical blocks like titanium dioxide or zinc irritates us less than the chemical screens like parasol 1789, oxybenzone, etc. Earth's Best's main ingredient is titanium dioxide with a few other relatively mild looking ingredients. The only thing with titanium or zinc is that the sunblock is thick (since it's a physical blocker) so we get some white streaks on our skin. However, it works the moment it's on your skin vs. the chemical screens which should really be applied about 1/2 hour before sun exposure. Overall, we haven't had any sunburns or skin irritation when we use it so it's something I would recommend for sensitive skin.
