Product Description

2.9 oz / 82.22 grams flip tube. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that if exposure to the sun is unavoidable and your baby is under 6 months, a non-chemical sunscreen (like ours) should be used; consult with your physician. The AAP recommends that because an infant's skin is very thin and sensitive, infants under 6 months should be kept out of the sun. No fragrance or scent masking agents. Use on face (does not sting the eyes) and body. Created especially for those who cannot tolerate fragrance. May be used everyday/year-round. SPF Protection Level: Provides high-level protection against sunburn. Water Resistant: Retains effectiveness after 80 minutes of activity in water or perspiring. Unfragranced, PABA free, non-chemical, California Baby sunscreen is perfect for those with skin sensitivities or fragrance allergies. California Baby's active ingredient is a highly micronized titanium dioxide that scatters and reflects dangerous UV rays, offering UVA-UVB broad-spectrum protection. This lotion is simple and elegant; it glides on smoothly and will not slip off when it comes into contact with water, so you may rest assured that it will last. Non-staining formula. Very water-resistant. Highly recommended by leading dermatologists and allergists for their patients with chemical sensitivities and fragrance intolerance. No nut oils, gluten, soy, oat or dairy. Made in the U.S.A.

This review is from: 2 Pack California Baby SPF 30 Super Sensitive Sunscreen Lotion - 2.9 oz each (Health and Beauty)

When we had our first child, we researched what type of sunblock was safe to use for our baby. We found that products with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide were the safest. Both of these ingredients rest on top of the skin, rather than getting absorbed into the skin. We also read that any SPF rating above 30 is unnecessary as they aren't actually more effective but contained more chemicals that could actually be harmful. Finding products that met those conditions were much harder to find than I expected.

The California Baby brand was about the only one we could find initially that used titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. We started out with the fragrance free lotion and it was good at blocking out the sun, but did not completely prevent a tan. It also required a bit more time to apply and was somewhat difficult to apply on the face as it is a bit runny. I bought the stick version to address those issues and carry both of them in our car and diaper bags. Also, unless you rub the sunblock in very well, your kids will look like ghosts, teehee.

We like how safe and effective the California Baby sunblock lotion and stick are for our children. We tend to use the lotion most of the time and use the stick only for their faces and for when we are short on time (which seems like all the time). The pack of 2 that Amazon sells this for is a bargain compared to what we have paid in brick and mortar stores. We will likely buy these again from Amazon next summer, when ours is likely to run out.

I am an adult and I use it. I have very sensitive skin and it works great. It does come out with a bit of white film. Use less and rub in and it help reduce the whiteness. Otherwise it does not irritate the skin.

they sell this in a stick form which is soooo much easier to use. this stuff is great - works great - only downside is that it makes your face white. anyhow, i'm so happy they make a product like this for babies and kids and people who don't like chemicals :)
