What is the difference between kids’ sunscreen and baby sunscreen?

Sometimes, despite your best efforts to keep your kids sun safe, sunburns can happen. We get it, no one’s perfect. This is why we created the ThinkBaby Aloe Vera After-Sun gel. Aloe Vera After Sun was created to provide a safe solution to treat sunburn without all the harmful chemicals.

Enriched with Vitamin C & E along with a slight tint to reduce whitening from trace minerals, this ultra-moisturizing sunscreen can help to reduce skin aging by 24% when worn daily. Aloe Vera After Sun was created to provide a safe solution without the harmful chemicals. Aloe Vera won't: What sunscreen SPF to use on a baby?At least SPF 50, but even higher is better. And limit their direct sun exposure, have them wear long sleeves and pants when possible, and put a sun hat on their head. Be sure to reapply the sunscreen repeatedly, try to keep your baby in the shade, and watch them closely for signs of a sun burn.No PABA, parabens, phthalates, BPA, oxybenzone, avobenzone, petroleum, gluten, dairy, or toxic chemicals​ What age can babies wear sunscreen?The Mayo Clinic and other health and pediatric organizations advise against using sunscreen on an infant younger than 6 months old unless it is the only option. Instead, they advise to keep your baby out of the sun as much as possible. When you must use a sunscreen on a baby under 6 months old, use a mineral-based sunscreen. Mustela is an especially trusted brand for parents of babies with eczema, and it's thanks to products like this. The lotion has everything you want in baby sunscreen, with the added benefit of shea butter, avocado oil, and jojoba oil to calm and comfort skin. The nourishing ingredients also help to make an ultra-smooth formula that acts like a lotion: It spreads out smooth and leaves a glowy, hydrated sheen.

Given recent scientific results demonstrating that all active sunscreen ingredients (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and octinoxate) are absorbed into the bloodstream and remain detectable for several days, parents are searching for relatively low-risk sunscreens without exposing their children to harsh chemicals. I recommend using mineral-based sunscreen [to my patients],” says Dr. Day. “It offers physical protection and does not penetrate through the skin, especially on babies and infants, over the absorbed alternatives.” She noted that mineral-based sunscreens contain active ingredients (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), which sit on top of the skin's surface to deflect UV rays. This is opposed to chemical sunscreens, which “contain avobenzone, octinoxate, and oxybenzone, [and] are absorbed into the skin.” What SPF should baby sunscreen have? Earth Mama takes health and beauty products very seriously, considering the sustainability, safety, and sensitivity of all ingredients they choose for their products. This is especially the case for their baby products, such as baby lotions and this sunscreen. The Earth Mama Baby Mineral Sunscreen offers an SPF level of 40 from an eyebrow-raising 25% zinc oxide content! But it's the other ingredients that make this sunscreen so impressive - coconut oils, beeswax, olive oil, raspberry seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, jojoba seed oil, shea butter, tocopherol (vitamin E), and calendula flower extract. In fact, these ingredients are so innocuous that even the EWG gave it the safest possible rating of 1! We've actually never seen that before with a sunscreen, and were immediately impressed with what Earth Mama achieved!As a general rule of thumb, I recommend that parents speak to their pediatrician before starting to use sunscreen on infants less than six months of age as it's not generally recommended,” says Dr. Day. Dr. Stephens agrees and adds, “This is because their skin is very delicate and sensitive, and they are more susceptible to irritation and allergic reactions.” Zinc oxide (sunscreen); aloe barbadensis leaf juice and hyaluronic acid (soothe and moisturize skin) Ingredients: Dr. Stephens says that while both kids’ and baby sunscreen are designed to protect delicate children’s skin from harmful UV radiation, baby sunscreens usually contain mineral-based ingredients, while kids’ sunscreens often use chemical ingredients for active bodies. With a cleaner, healthier science-led purpose, our mission is to create products with unyielding standards for efficacy that support the wellness of our consumers, their families and our global community. In line with the Food and Drug Administration's guidance (FDA) and AAP, we strongly recommend using mineral-based sunscreen lotions rather than sprays. Why no sunscreen sprays? Spray sunscreen can catch fire, children can inhale their harmful chemicals, and it's difficult to see areas you've missed during application (resulting in higher sunburn risk).

Trust the Bum! Sun Bum has been making fantastic sunscreen for babies, kids, and adults for about a decade and we've been consistently impressed with the quality and effectiveness of their products. They make plant-based sunscreen formulas that are reef friendly, cruelty-free, vegan, gluten free, hypoallergenic, and free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, dyes, fragrances, and silicone. What's left for them to include? Mineral-based protection with 20% zinc oxide, coconut oil, shea butter, and other ingredients that are hypoallergenic and developmentally-friendly. In fact, the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) safety database scores this sunscreen a 2 out of 10, meaning that it has one of the lowest possible toxicity and bioaccumulation scores. That makes us feel pretty good about putting this on our little ones! Our SPF 50 Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide formula spray rubs in with little to no whitening. Enriched with soothing Aloe and nourishing Vitamin E and Banana Fruit Extract to calm sun-exposed skin so kids stay protected for all day fun in the sun What is the best baby sunscreen?A good mineral-based sunscreen with a high SPF is the way to go. In our testing, we have found the ThinkBaby and Baby Bum mineral-based sunscreen lotions to be effective, high quality, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and relatively inexpensive. We also really like the Blue Lizard and Badger Balm mineral-based sunscreens for babies and toddlers. The difficulty of seeing where you've applied sunscreen. It is hard to tell whether your kid is entirely covered when you use spray sunscreen, leading to a risk of sunburn. If you use Aveeno already, you'll be pleased to know the brand makes a great baby sunscreen for sensitive skin. The formula is water- and sweat-resistant but still manages to be unscented, hypoallergenic, and paraben- and phthalate-free. It's also made with oat, an eczema favorite for helping soothe itchy skin.

Was there a Babyganics sunscreen recall?No, we cannot find any evidence that the Babyganics sunscreen has been recalled by Babyganics or its parent company KAS Direct. Babyganics has discontinued their mineral-based sunscreen, however, likely due to the class action lawsuit.
