    Why do some lotions an sunscreens ball up on my skin?

    Usually its the acrylic polymer used as a thickener. When the water in the formula evaporates the polymer is less soluble and it kicks out of solution forming little white balls when you rub it in.

    Interesting, thanks! Is there anything I can do to minimize or prevent it?

    No, it’s just the nature of the product.
