I love the Aruba Aloe products and find they are priced less at Lings Mkt than anywhere else on island.One thing i do not like is the aerosol spray sunblock that is made by Coppertone and i think also Banana Boat. Those aerosols just seem to run out so very quickly and are priced very high on island.Andrea

"Aruba Aloe" has a complete line of Sun Screen, Sun Burn, and After Sun Products. I would consider bringing some regular Sun Screen from home and buying some of the "Aruba Aloe" products there (say 50% from home and 50% bought in Aruba). If you use the Sun Screen properly you hopefully won't have any need for the Sun Burn Products (but they do work excellent). The After Sun Products really help to sooth your skin after a day on the beach. Plan on enough Sun Screen for a typical Non Aruba vacation, and then double it. Having more and not needing it is far better than needing it and not having it . I always buy plenty of "Aruba Aloe" Products to bring home with me, as they really some of the best that I've tryed.
