Unpleasant smell and texture,

"I was surprisingly disappointed with this lotion. The texture is very thick and does not rub in to the skin very well, often leaving a film on my skin if it's too dry. The smell is not what I was expecting based on the ingredients. It smells almost like bug repellent, and the scent, while not overpowering, lingers on the skin all day."

"I was looking for a lotion with SPF that didn't contain Oxybenzone. Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework. The ingredient listed as Benzophenone-3 in the Product Details IS Oxybenzone. I was disappointed to see that Alba Botanica uses this chemical in some of its sun products. I disposed of it without even opening it, and that's why I gave it an overall one-star rating. (The higher star ratings are for most of the other ingredients in the lotion.) I couldn't even give this product to someone else in good conscience knowing the concerns that have been expressed about Oxybenzone. I do use Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion Original Unscented and love it."
