Alba Botanica Sunscreen {Giveaway – CLOSED}

Posted on June 20, 2016July 13, 2016 by Elaine

With the temperatures in the high 20’s (Celsius!) we are spending more time outdoors. I really hope you are all wearing sunscreen every single day! Sunscreen is super important, not only for beauty care but for your health as well. I was recently introduced to a line of sun protection that I’m really loving: alba BOTANICA sunscreen.

Alba Botanica Sunscreen // Toronto Beauty Reviews

{Alba Botanica Sunscreen Giveaway}

alba BOTANICA has actually been making 100% vegetarian products since 1979! Alba Botanica Sunscreens are non-mineral but are formulated to proved non-greasy, fragrance free UVA and UVB protection. They are also pH balanced, water resistant and dermatologist tested.

There are 5 products in the alba BOTANICA Sunscreen line, all with an SPF of 40. 2 for sports, 2 for kids and 1 for the face. What I love most is that they not only protect your skin but they nourish it too! Ingredients such as Aloe leaf, Lavender flower and Ginseng extract are combined to moisturize and care for skin all day.

alba BOTANICA sunscreens are available throughout Canada at Whole Foods, London Drugs and Well.ca.

But…if you’re a Canadian reader, how would you like to win ALL FIVE products in the line?

alba-botanica-sunscreen-group

Here are more details on the alba BOTANICA Sunscreens:

alba BOTANICA Facial Sunscreen Lotion ($9.99):

A fast absorbing face sunscreen that is hypo-allergenic, Oxybenzone free and contains anti-oxidant ingredients to help protect the skin from cell damage. It also leaves no white residue and is very easily absorbed into the skin.

alba BOTANICA Kids – Lotion & Spray ($9.99 each):

When kids don’t want to stay still, you need to apply sunscreen FAST! Quick absorbing and water-resistant. It glides on easily too so kids won’t fuss too much (hopefully!).

alba BOTANICA Sport – Lotion & Spray ($9.99 each):

Sweat-proof + water resistant, if you’re an active person then this sunscreen is your go to choice. A thin formulation that’s perfect when you need to apply very quickly to get maximum coverage.

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk ab A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy.

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍
