#asktheexpert good physical sunscreen for baby

A. For a 1.5-year-old baby, it’s important to choose a physical sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection and SPF 30 or higher. Look for sunscreens that contain mineral ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these are gentle on sensitive skin. Opt for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and pediatrician-tested options. Brands like Babyganics, Neutrogena Pure & Free, and Aveeno Baby offer safe, gentle sunscreens for young children. Apply it 15-20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours or more frequently if the baby is sweating or in water.
