Gentle Baby-Friendly Sunscreens

Aveeno's Baby Sunscreen is Made for Sensitive Skin

Aveeno® boasts a gentle baby sunscreen that is water- and sweat-resistant in two application options—a squeezable tube and a stick version which is ideal for on-the-go touch-ups. As the summer months trickle in, it is extremely important to protect our skin and that of our loved ones from harmful UVA/UVB rays. The Baby Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 50 is a mineral sunscreen with naturally sourced zinc oxide and colloidal oatmeal. The formula is completely free of ingredients such as parabens, fragrance, and phthalates. The brand has made sure to create a formula that is highly gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. The baby sunscreen by Aveeno® is also hypoallergenic and oil-free. Because of all of these considerations, the product is recommended by pediatricians, as the brand notes.
