In favorable conditions, it is able to grow between two and 20 inches in a single season.

Absolutely the best, no joke
We actually lived on Maui when we discovered Maui Babe, and have been using it ever since. Let me tell you: it is the BEST after sun lotion, bar none. Got a little over-exposed, and are red and hurting? Throw some Maui Babe on, and not only will it relieve the pain (and eventual itching) of sunburn, it'll help prevent peeling later on. It's great as an every day lotion, of course, but it really shines on sunburn. My husband and I laugh about steering many a sunburned tourist to the Maui Babe display in stores all over Hawaii. "Hey, you really need to get some of THIS for that burn." They always seemed grateful to get steered to something that really worked, instead of the usual lotions and potions that didn't. Anyway, I can highly recommend it, been using it for years, and as a blonde who has lived in Hawaii, southwest Florida, and now down in Panama (where the sun is damned close), I can tell you that it really works. And yes...my last order came all the way to Panama because I can't do without it.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.

Great choice
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After I suffered a second-degree burn from steam, I was told by my doctor that I would have to keep my new fresh skin sun-blocked for up to a year to avoid any scarring or hyper pigmentation. This has been a great selection as it is a roll-on, Which helps a lot with preventing messes that can happen with traditional sunblock bottles. I also like that it is easy to travel with, and the fact that it is zinc based.

My favorite new mineral sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my favorite new mineral sunscreen! I've been searching for years for a product that is easy to apply, not messy, and doesn't show up too white. This roll-on is the perfect solution. I keep it near the front door and quickly roll the sunscreen on my hands, arms, and chest before leaving the house. The sunscreen applies so quickly and uniformly-- there are no bare spots or messy globs to rub in. Also, the roll-on keeps the sunscreen from oozing out of the tube and getting all over everything. Finally, the roll-on method also eliminates the frustration of having half-filled tubes and pumps where you can't even access the sunscreen when the tube gets low. Here's hoping this doesn't happen with the roll-on. Thank you Sun Bum for creating this wonderful product. I also love the reasonable price.
