Summer is coming, and warm weather means days outside ? at the park, at the beach, or just exploring the backyard or the neighbourhood. We know our kids’ delicate skin needs sunscreen, we just never know which ones are best for them.
We did some research and found five great kid-friendly sunscreens that we will keep tucked in our purse, by the front door, in our kids’ backpacks, in our first aid kit and even in the picnic basket (you can never be too prepared.)
Badger Baby Sunscreen with Camomile & Calendula This mildly scented, ultra moisturizing SPF 30 sunscreen is formulated to be totally safe for babies and the environment. But, who says it’s just for baby? We love it too.Badger Baby Sunscreen with Chamomile & Calendula, $20. Available at http://well.ca. |
Aveeno Baby Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Stick Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, oil-free, waterproof and with an SPF of 50, this mini-stick packs a whole lot of sun protection. We love that it’s also made with soothing, moisturizing colloidal oatmeal (so it will soothe as well as protect.)Aveeno Baby Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Stick, $14 – $18. Available at most major drugstores and Target. |
Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen This chemical-free, SPF 30 sunscreen also has a very high water resistance rating (perfect for our wee fishies). It also is quite thick, which means a very small amount goes a long way, which we love.Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen, $22. Available at www.momstobeandmore.com. |
Green Beaver Certified Organic Kids Sunscreen This is the first truly organic, non-chemical sunscreen to be approved by Health Canada. It is waterproof and fragrance-free, but best of all, it spreads evenly and quickly, which is good because our slippery little sun bunnies move fast.Green Beaver Certified Organic Kids Sunscreen, $20.99. Available at www.raspberrykids.com. |
Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunscreen This SPF 50 Sunscreen is fragrance free and contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, naturally-sourced sunscreen ingredients that are gentle on baby’s delicate skin.Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunblock, $18.99. Available at http://well.ca. |
