Here are the Best Baby Sunscreens of 2023! 1. Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen, SPF 50+. Thinkbaby and Thinksport sunscreens are perfect for sensitive skin. We recommend testing on a small area of the body to ensure that you don't have any sensitivities. Sunscreens that claim to be hypo-allergenic are nothing more than marketing hype in our opinion. As the population's exposure to chemicals has risen, there has been a direct correlation to things that people become allergic to. Simply google environmental exposure and allergies to view some of this research.

Sunscreen Chemicals to avoid: Here are the key sunscreen chemicals to avoid, according to the Environmental Working Group: Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, Octisalate, and Octocrylene. Many of these tend to penetrate the skin, enter the bloodstream, and even cross the blood-brain and blood-breastmilk barrier. They also tend to be related to hormone disruption and skin allergies. And let's not forget methylisothiazolinone and parabens. 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.

It is hard to tell whether your kid is entirely covered when you use spray sunscreen, leading to a risk of sunburn.

Sun Protection Measures. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a Broad-Spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including: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. What brand of sunscreen is safe?Sunscreen safety, especially for babies, comes down to three issues. First, not using toxic ingredients. Second, having a high enough SPF to adequately protect the baby or toddler. Third, frequently and adequate applications as instructed by the manufacturer. If you do all of those, you can get a high SPF sunscreen with no toxic ingredients, and use as directed. Great examples are the Baby Bum mineral based sunscreen, Blue Lizard, and ThinkBaby mineral sunscreens. 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.
