What is the safest/greenest/Toxic-free sunscreen for kids?

in Success after IF

Just curious which sunscreen you use?  I have been using Nutrogena baby, but Im sure there are loads of unsafe ingredients in there.  Which one is the most green for kids skin?  Thx

    We use California Baby. We did use Neutrogena,  but you are right, it rated high on the toxic sunscreens chart. That's why we switched.

    We were using that and DS was having some skin irritation from it...it does have a lot of junk in it which I figured it didn't given it's "pure & free"...we switched to Loving Naturals. It is really thick but it works well and gets good ratings on EWG.

    Aveeno has a mineral baby sunblock that is rated 1 (good) by EWG standards.

    We use the Badger brand sunblock.  I buy it off Amazon.  They also make a face stick that works well too and is rated well.
    After 2 years and 6 IUIs, we did it with IVF w/ ICSI!
    BFP with no treatment!

    Where do you buy California baby or this Aveeno one mentioned?  I have not seen California baby in the store.

    We use All Terrain KidsSport - we were going for a 1 rating but it's so much cheaper than some of the others, we decided a 2 was okay:

    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!

    We use both California Baby and Badger (if I remember correctly, Badger is a little cheaper).

    I have bought them at Whole Foods and a local natural grocery chain.
