SPF 30 or higher: Ensure the sunscreen provides at least SPF 30 for adequate protection from UVA and UVB rays. Physical (Mineral) Sunscreens: Opt for sunscreens with physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are safe for babies and work by sitting on the skin’s surface, reflecting sunlight, unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb the rays. Fragrance-free and Hypoallergenic: These types of sunscreens are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Water-resistant: If your child will be in water or sweating, choose a water-resistant formula.
Some popular and safe sunscreen brands for babies include:
Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunscreen SPF 50 Badger Baby Sunscreen SPF 30 Babyganics Mineral-Based Baby Sunscreen SPF 50 Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Baby SPF 30+
It's always a good idea to do a patch test before applying a new product all over your baby's body to ensure there is no allergic reaction.
