This gold standard of baby sunscreens has something to offer adults with sensitive skin too: It's totally non-toxic and wards off both UVA and UVB rays. The not-too-thick lotion took a little bit of muscle to get rid of the initial white cast, but eventually absorbs. And while it does leave a sheen on skin, it doesn't feel greasy. Then there's the smell -- aah the smell. The light, tropical-citrus scent screams pure summer.
This spray-on mineral sunscreen is a breeze to apply and absorbs immediately, leaving behind nothing but a delightfully fruity fragrance. Formulated with vitamins C and E and other botanical extracts, it fights antioxidant damage and hydrates skin. Sure, you'll pay a pretty penny for this product, but the sleek, black bottle looks way too sophisticated for most kids, making it the perfect addition to any grown woman's beach bag.
If you hate the smell of sunscreens, here's your best bet. Virtually fragrance-free, this pure mineral sunblock emits only the faintest, most pleasant oatmeal-like smell. You'll have to spend a little effort massaging this into your skin, but it leaves a remarkably greaseless finish. Void of PABA, parabens and other potential irritants, you can be sure it won't upset even the most delicate skin types.
Are you still reminiscing about the '90s? Then you'll love this nostalgic pick. This iconic brand has a scent that will transport you back to your own childhood. What's inside is just as satisfying: It contains protective zinc oxide as well as skin-nourishing aloe. To boot, its liquid-y consistency makes it easy to spread all over your body.
We're inclined to trust the Aussies with sun care -- and that goes for baby sun care as well. This stuff is as safe as they come, formulated without parabens, chemicals or a fragrance. It takes a little bit of rubbing to get it to absorb, but the coverage feels complete. Just watch out for the cap, which can make for slightly messy application.
