There are many great options for baby sunscreen out there and sometimes it can get overwhelming so I have put together a list of some of the best brands and their benefits.
1. Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50+: This sunscreen is made with safe, natural ingredients that are free of harmful chemicals. It is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes and provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
2. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Baby SPF 30+: This sunscreen is specifically designed for babies and young children with sensitive skin. It contains mineral-based ingredients that provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection for up to 80 minutes.
3. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Kids Sunscreen SPF 60: This sunscreen is specially formulated with a blend of sunscreen filters that provide optimal UVA/UVB protection for kids. It is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, and the lightweight and fast-absorbing texture make it easy for kids to apply without feeling heavy or greasy.
4. Babyganics Mineral-Based Baby Sunscreen Lotion: This sunscreen is made with plant-based and certified organic ingredients, making it gentle on a baby’s sensitive skin.
5. Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sensitive Skin Zinc Oxide Sunscreen: This sunscreen is designed specifically for babies with sensitive skin and is formulated with zinc oxide, a physical blocker that helps protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Ultimately, the best sunscreen for your child will depend on their skin type, any allergies, and your family’s lifestyle. Be sure to look for a sunscreen with at least SPF 50, and check the ingredient list to make sure they are safe and broad-spectrum, meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Also don’t forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours and after swimming or sweating. Do also speak to your paediatrician recommendations.
