It almost feels watery when applying it, and for that reason it is my go-to when we are going to be outside but not in the water. Overall thoughts: This is easily the best and easiest to blend American mineral SPF on this list, especially with 20% zinc oxide.

White cast: No- but maybe on deep skin tones Pipette Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50Ĭost & Cost per oz: $16.50/4oz or $4.13 per oz Also- you won’t have to worry about white cast with this on any skin tone. It does have a chemical-y scent, but that is from the ingredients, not because there is any added fragrance. This is amazing for a wiggly child, and I love that it is very affordable AND waterproof. It also has other great hydrating ingredients. I loveeee how easy it is to rub this in, and no surprise for a chemical SPF.

Overall thoughts: This sunscreen is chemical based, so whether you want to use chemical or mineral on your children, is your choice. I like how wide it is and easy to apply a wide surface area, and that it’s water resistant! Black Girl Sunscreen Kids SPF 50Ĭost & Cost per oz: $9.99/3oz or $3.33 per ozįilters: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 15%, Octisalate 5% This is pretty sheer, and easy to rub in, but would probably leave a cast on darker skin tones. Overall thoughts: I love a good sunscreen stick, especially for small areas like face, hands and feet which are usually all that’s showing when we are outside, as I usually also cover the baby in UPF clothing. This doesn’t leave a white cast on me or my family, but it probably would leave a minor cast on brown skin, and a stronger cast on black skin. I actually really enjoy the melon scent of this, and I think it might make kids more excited to reapply it. Overall thoughts: This has nearly the same texture of the the Thinkbaby SPF 50+. Thinksport for Kids SPF 50+Ĭost & Cost per oz: $6.99/3oz or 2.33 per ozįragrance, EO’s, fragrant extracts: Yes - papaya extract gives it a melon scent. I do think this might leave a slight cast on dark skin tones, but it’s definitely not as bad as many others I’ve tried. It’s not quite as easy as the Black Girl Sunscreen or Pipette, but for being mineral AND water resistant, this is incredible! I really love this entire line of sunscreens. I do have a slight preference for mineral SPFs for my baby, and I love how easy this one is to blend. Overall thoughts: Easily our favorite and most used SPF. (Although, I am not going to lie- we always have at least 5 with us at all times- but this is purely because of my blogger life)! Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50Ĭost & Cost per oz: $12.99/3oz or $4.33 per oz I like to select sunscreens that my whole family enjoys using on face and body, as it is just easier to grab one SPF when we are on the go, versus needing several! And because that is the biggest request I get from fellow moms when selecting a sunscreen. Or vice-versa, baby and kids sunscreens are also suitable for adults. Keep in mind- most baby and kid specific sunscreen is just a marketing ploy, and there are plenty of regular “adult” sunscreens that are suitable for children. Ever since I had Fitz, I get questions every week about the best sunscreen’s for babies, kids and the whole family. More awards than any other sun care line.I have an obsession with testing sunscreens, but had no idea that it would trickle over into my mom-life. Gluten-free (third-party verified) and Vegan
