I bought this sunscreen because it said "pure & simple" and "tear free." I put it all over DD today and after being in the water for a little while she started screaming and crying. She was rubbing her eyes and they were turning bright red, swollen and burning. Finally after about 10 minutes of wiping her face with a washcloth she started to calm down. Her eyes were still red when I put her to bed.
My friend said the same thing happened to her DD. I hate when there is false advertising on children's products.
Re: Coppertone Waterbabies...warning
Poor thing!
Try California Babies. I put it all over AJ's face--even over his eye lids by accident sometimes--and it never bothers him. He has his momma's ridiculously sensitive skin, too. I love that stuff. And as a bonus, it's sunblock, not sunscreen (better for them).
Generally I use California Babies products but didn't have time to pick it up today and just bought whatever was designed for children at CVS. I am so angry!

I put it on before we left the house so it had time to dry!

This is what we did too but I just saw on a website that rates the safety of sunscreens (cant rememer the name) that the neutrogena one is rated unsafe, but warerbabies is rated ok....so now i'm thinking about switching back. I just cant afford the California baby at $20 a bottle...we use it almost daily.
