At first California Baby seemed pretty thick, which I hear is normal for safer sunscreens. But I've gotten used to it, and I kind of like slathering the thick lotion on Nate, because it just feels like it will work. I've used about 3/4 of the tube and although we haven't been hanging out at the beach for hours, I think it works well. It has a bit of a metallic sheen too, which makes it easy to see where you have already applied it.
Oh, and I should also share that I got the Badger SPF 15 Sunblock Lip Balm
7/13/10 Update: After using almost the entire bottle of Episencial Sunny Suncreen, it is definitely my favorite as far as consistency, price and protection goes!
6/8/11 Update: Episencial is still my favorite, by far. Episencial, California Baby and Badger all made EWG's Best Beach & Sport Sunscreen list for 2011. I also discovered Badger SPF 15 Sunscreen Lip Balm Stick doesn't leave you with white lips and goes on smoothly.

Thanks for the sunscreen ideas. I've been using the Burt's Bees 15 spf on myself (since I'm pregnant) and it works great, but your comments are right. Very thick and can leave a white flaky look (also superhot!) on your skin. And if you have a black swimsuit, forget it. I also think it smells like men's colgone, but that may just be my pregnant nose!
