  For you or baby? For you, all sunscreens are safe.

  Are you asking about what you can use right now or are you trying to figure out what to buy/register for for baby? For you, you can use anything. For baby, they shouldn't use much sunscreen at all in the first 6 months unless you absolutely cannot avoid them being out in the sun. Their skin is sensitive and they absorb the chemicals from the sunscreen more rapidly than an adult or older baby would. If you absolutely have to be out in the sun, use a baby sunscreen and keep a close eye on how your baby is reacting to the lotion.

  Personally,  our family uses Badger.

  I second a PP's usage of EWG's Skin Deep Database and sunscreen report: https://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/

  Many would disagree with that statement, including me. Most conventional beauty products use ingredients that are approved by the FDA but have known toxic effects. Here is a great place to start learning about products: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
