 I had no idea there was a difference.

    Neither did I Lydia, thank you for posting this!!  I'm extremely worried about C.'s exposure to the sun because of the fact that DH, his sister and their aunt have all had skin cancer.  Again, thanks for sharing this post!!

    That is such great info, thanks for sharing! I was under the impression that you couldn't put anything on LO's skin until 6 months.  Since we're going to the beach at approx 1 month and 5 months I was worried about how to keep her in the shade 24/7, now I know I can get sunblock for her so I won't worry as much!

    Yep!  I think there is a new banana boat for babies that has the T. Dioxide in it too now as well.

    I saw this on 6-12 last night and had plans to post it this morning...glad you did.  I didn't know about it either...I have been thinking about sunscreen lately and this list really made the decision for me :)

    Wow- does anyone else feel horrible/guilty for not knowing? I don't even remember to put sunblock/screen on everytime...but when I actually do, sounds like I've been slathering chemicals all over him. Ick!

    Thanks so much for sharing Lydia. I'm going to get the Neutrogena brand now...and will stay away from those sunsticks (which I actually thought would be better because they last longer than the spray/lotion kinds).
