Coppertone WaterBABIES Sunscreen Pure & Simple Tear Free Mineral Based Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50, 6 Fluid Ounces

This sunscreen is probably one of the best I’ve used so far and I’ve tried so many in the mineral category. It’s lightweight so you don’t have that heavy feel that some of them give you. It has zero scent, which if you don’t want fragrance or any scent on what you put on your skin you will love this one. The ingredients are safe in comparison to most and many other sunscreens. There’s a slight white cast, but if you put on a thin layer, rub it in really well then put on a second thin layer rub that in really well, you can eliminate most of the cast. On my face and neck I put tinted moisturizer on top, so I really can’t see any white cast afterwards. None of these mineral sunscreens are going to be crystal clear because they use zinc oxide (and/or titanium dioxide) which are white. Ftr, this sunscreen uses zinc only which I prefer. Bottom line and most importantly, it works and keeps you from getting sunburned! It’s a win for me.

This sunscreen is gentle on my toddler’s sensitive skin and doesn’t the eczema on his arms, back, and face. I used the Yuka app on a different organic baby sunscreen which did not rate well health-wise, and it actually recommended this one with a way higher unbiased score. So I’ve used it on my toddler son since he was a baby (old enough for sunscreen) and it has done well. We go outside everyday that it’s nice enough out, and we go through this fast in the summer. There have been a couple times in the summer that he has gotten a little pink, but it could have just been due to how long we were out and how sweaty/wet he got. It’s important to be mindful to reapply, even if it’s water resistant! Also try to put on sunscreen at least 20 minutes before going into the water. When following those guidelines (and also making sure it’s not expired), it works well! It is *very* thin and liquidy, but I think that makes it a little faster to rub in, so I’m not complaining because sunscreening a toddler isn’t always easy! Just make sure to close it or they will get it and it will be everywhere!

This was rated by Consumer Reports as the best quality sun block. I used it for a few days, and it seems to have done a decent job, easy to apply, not coming out easily while in the pool, but it does wash readily with soap. I highly recommend it!

Great lotion for when the kids are out in a hot day. Provides the protection they need, while also having great ingredients.

This has the least white cast of any mineral sunscreen I’ve used even the “sheer” ones. It does seem to move around a lot, though. Where my glasses touch my face, I’ll see a white residue on them and I’ll have a white stripe on my face where the glasses were. It can cling to dry patches of skin when it dries, so make sure to moisturize well, especially in the winter. Other than that, the formula is pretty creamy and not too oily for my oily, acne-prone skin. It doesn’t irritate my eyes or pill on my skin like chemical or hybrid sunscreens. Overall, a winner!
