Sunscreen for baby.

vigurl · May 2012

I have to start sending suncreen to DC next week. I am looking for a more natural one with little to no chemicals. ( I have never worn sunscreen in my life so I am clueless) Suggestions? It cant be an online only product (unless Amazon) b/c I need it by Monday.

My ped recommends Aveeno Baby. We have it in a SPF 30 lotion and it works great. We got it in the baby supply aisle of Target, not where there other sunscreens were kept.

Last summer we used Neutrogena Free & Clear Baby (or whatever it's called), and this year we have Aveeno Baby - the stick kind. I am not a fan yet (I find it hard to apply). I think I'm going to switch to the Water Babies Pure and Free (again, whatever it's called). It is rated well on the skincare site people always reference. I can never remember what it's called.

I've seen it at Target.

I ordered this off of Amazon, I also ordered it in stick form for her face.

I tried Loving Naturals based on a rec on TB and I hated it, it came out looking like olive oil and paste and LO screamed when I put it on her. I ended up applying a different lotion over that as I didn't think the "oil" was very effective.

I like California Baby, but it's pricey. It's found at Target and Amazon. I also ordered Blue Lizard from Amazon and haven't tried it yet. They're both scent free and chemical free.

We use Aveeno Baby. It's SPF 55 I think. DS hates having it applied so that's annoying, but we have to do it!

I really like Blue Lizard.

Adorable Baby and Badger Balm have great ratings on that skin product safety website whose name I can't remember. We have both of them.

here's EWGs sunscreen report: https://breakingnews.ewg.org/2012sunscreen/all-sunscreens/

We are using Badger Baby, about $11 for 3oz, but the 3oz tube goes a long way (i got it at Sprouts). But I may swich to Babyganics, what kimbo uses, when it runs out since its more like $10 for 6oz and looks to be just as thick. Im pretty sure they sell the babyganics at target!

I have Coppertone Water Babies Pure & Simple. It is a 2 on the skin deep chart and available at Target and Walmart. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/434783/Coppertone_Water_Babies_Pure_%26_Simple_Sunscreen_Lotion%2C_SPF_50/

I've seen Babyganics at BRU as well!

We are using BabyGanics. It gets a 2 on EWG's scale (green zone). It's only $8 for 6 ounces at Target, but you can only get it in the baby section. NOT the sunblock section.

Don't use: Nutrogene Pure and Free baby - it gets a 7 (red zone)

kimbo1216 · May 2012

And the Aveeno Baby is like a 4 (yellow zone) for the regular. The stick though gets a 1.

I would get this for daycare. I would not want to spend a ton of money for sunscreen to keep there. The coppertone is what I keep in my diaper bag for impromptu trips to the park. I find that once you whip out the bottle of sunscreen you get people asking for a squirt because they forgot to bring theirs. I don't want to share my more expensive stuff. I save the blue lizard for us.

Wow! That's great because I usually have to order the one we've been using online.
