Better smelling sunblock(and organic), but still has parabens
This sunblock smells good, and it's organic. I like the green tea smell a lot because sunscreen always smells bad. This is organic but it still has parabens which is disappointing. I really want to like this more.

Gentle on animals - not so gentle on you!
Honestly, I've never even used this product, but I'm glad after reading this: http://tinyurl.com/2lca4p
The Environmental Working Group conducted a study of sunblocks measuring their effectiveness and toxicity, and this sunblock didn't fare so well: it's effective and not tested on animals, but it contains high levels of neurotoxins and immunotoxins. But for the animal testing - you're even better off using some Coppertone products!
Here's the list of the best ones: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/browse.php?sunscreens=1&best=1

Alba Organics sunscreen is luscious
I use sunscreen virtually every day (lots of outdoor time in the Sierra Nevada). I hate being sticky or smelly like odd chemicals and artificial smells. This sunscreen feels great and smells subtly of cocoa butter (i think). It's less expensive than Neutrogena and Oil of Olay sunscreens (what I used to use) and seems to work just as well.
Note: this is a non-waterproof variety of sunscreen. I've only used it for mellow outdoor days.

best organic sunscreen
Alba organics makes an unbelievable organic sunscreen. it is made with certified organic ingredients and is not tested on animals. it feels great using it on my skin, not only because it is all natural, but because its good for the environment as well.
