Thinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Sunscreen, 3 Oz. – Safe, Natural Mineral Sun Cream for Babies - Water Resistant, Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Sun Protection – Vegan Sunscreen for Kids

In the summertime protecting myself and my children from harmful effects of sun is of great importance. We all need sunlight for proper Vitamin D synthesis in our body however a 20 minute/day direct exposure (not blocked by window glass or clear plastic) is more than enough for that purpose. Anything above that starts to show the adverse effects of the sun. What are they? The most pronounced two adverse effects are premature aging of skin and skin cancer, not to mention horrible immediate redness and tenderness followed by peeling of skin which can cancel your all joy from a beach holiday. To avoid all those effects we have to take preventive measures. The most effective and the least harmful preventive measure is to avoid exposure to sun during critical hours. So if you can avoid being under direct sunlight between 10am and 3pm you are doing the best you can do. Second comes appropriate clothing and accessories. I recommend using rash guards (top part of swim suits that can block UV while not causing a big restriction.) They should be worn especially by children although I, as an adult men, got used to wearing one Speedo Men's UPF 50+ Easy Short Sleeve Rashguard Swim Tee happily . Hats and glasses are other accessories that come to my mind as preventive measures. Third comes the sunscreens. The reason I rate it below the first two is that it contains a bunch of ingredients and can readily be absorbed by body, enter blood stream or have effects in local skin tissue. Therefore it is critical to know what is in it and what it does after routine daily use. Another reason is that it may give a false safety feeling since it is not effective until 15 minutes has past after applying and the protective effect vanishes after 80 minutes.(also true for this model as written on the bottle). So not knowing these details may get you unprotected while you mistakenly believe you are safe... According to FDA website 17 ingredients are allowed to be topically applied to skin for the purpose of sun protection. External websites (including the Oz show and EWG) says 15 of them are proven endocrine distruptors which, after entering your blood stream can act as your hormones and cause imbalance, leading to different adverse effects. Oxybenzene (endocrine distruptor) and some vitamin A derivatives (claimed by some sources as carcinogenic) are the most infamous nasty chemicals among the other bad fellows that make up the list. The 'innocent' guys are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Those ingredients are believed to be relatively harmless while offering good UV protection. This particular product has 20% zinc oxide as the active ingredient. So it has an overall rating of 1 out of 10 in EWG (Environmental Working Group) website (lower number means less harmful) Zinc oxide, on that website , is rated as 2 with some minor concerns about cellular problems and bio-accumulation. Other filler ingredients are listed as harmless except dimethicone which was rated 3 due to some organ level toxicity concerns as well as environmental toxicity issues. However among the list of 462 sunscreens clearly investigated by that independent agency, this one still rates among the top products. Besides it is rated as having a good balance of UV A and UV B protection by many external websites I have searched including EWG itself. After all those general information, here comes my hands on experience after two months of use: -It is effective: No sunburn in my children after our two weeks of beach holiday. (But I have to say we have avoided the sun by staying in shade as much as possible and used protective clothing too..) -It did not cause any irritation or skin problems,it is also written on the bottle to be safe for babies over 6 months old (younger than that: check with your doctor is what it says) -It does not smell nasty. No smell apart from a mild fruity smell. -Price wise it is okay especially when considering the availability to order it through subscribe and save and get an additional upto 20% discount (at the time I bought it). (some reviewers point out bigger 6 ounce sizes are available for cheaper in external websites which might be worth considering too...) Over all, I am pretty happy about the purchase and apply it without much concern to my kids as an additional sun protection to other methods, I discussed above. Just keep in mind the instructions and re-apply regularly and you are good to go...

Dermatologist-recommended and free from harmful chemicals, this sunscreen is suitable for babies with sensitive skin and those prone to eczema. Its thick, white cream texture may leave an initial white cast, but it rubs in smoothly without feeling greasy.

Available in a 6 oz tube, it's a practical choice for families seeking reliable sun protection for their babies.

As a parent, I’m always cautious about what goes on my child’s skin—especially when it comes to sun protection. Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50+ has become our go-to for several reasons. First, the ingredient list is incredibly clean, free of harmful chemicals like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and parabens. It’s a non-nano zinc oxide formula, which gives me peace of mind when using it on sensitive skin. There’s also no overpowering fragrance—just a light, neutral scent that fades quickly. Application is smooth for a mineral sunscreen. It goes on thick enough to feel protective, but it’s surprisingly easy to rub in compared to other zinc-based formulas. It leaves only a minimal white cast, which disappears quickly on my child’s fair skin. We’ve tested this through pool days, park trips, and long hikes—it holds up well with excellent water resistance (up to 80 minutes) and no skin irritation whatsoever. Best of all, my toddler doesn’t fight me when it’s time to put it on, which speaks volumes. If you’re looking for a safe, effective, and child-friendly sunscreen, Thinkbaby is one of the best mineral options on the market. It earns a permanent spot in our summer bag.

Bought this for our little one on a trip to Maui. I wanted something clean as I do my very best not to put any chemicals on her skin. I like that this product is free of endocrine disrupters and carcinogens. So many products are absolutely awful for us, and I appreciate being able to find things that still work without compromising safety or long-term effects. She did not burn with this stuff on so it worked great! It wasn’t as thick and hard to rub in as some other brands. I would recommend!

Great Protection and Safe Ingredients — Just a Bit Thick Thinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Sunscreen is one of the best sunscreens I’ve used for my little one. It provides excellent sun protection, even on long days outdoors, and I love that it’s made with safe, non-toxic ingredients. It doesn’t have that strong chemical smell like many other sunscreens, and it’s gentle on sensitive skin. The only downside is that it’s a little thick, so it takes some rubbing to fully absorb. But overall, it’s totally worth it for the peace of mind and protection it gives. Definitely recommend for parents who want a clean, reliable sunscreen for their kids!

Very good mineral sunscreen for babies, suitable for sensitive skin. Clean formula. It has a light fragrance, but it didn’t cause any irritation.

No tiene disruptores hormonales y me ha durado como 4-5 meses (sin salir todos los días)

Good quality, clean ingredient sun cream for children. It is very thick and stays on well in water. We apply with a make up sponge to get good coverage.

Un peccato. Per quello che costa, il tappo è arrivato distrutto.

Good creme with pleasant light aroma. One concern is that it seems a bit aggressive to swimming glasses insulation (hard to remove from it)
