As parents you are celebrating the successful completion of another school year and anticipating fun in the sun with your kiddos!☀️ Are you wondering what are the safer sunscreens to buy? Let’s take a look…😎

Zinc oxide is the important active ingredient to look for in sunscreens.

Ingredients to avoid in sunscreen:

Oxybenzone
Avobenzone
Benzophenone-4
Preservatives
Fragrances (can be endocrine disruptors)
Alcohol if possible (can be drying & irritating to the skin)

Children’s skin is more delicate and more susceptible to damage from sunburn. Having more than 5 sunburns doubles the risk for melanoma. Using sunscreen during peak hours protects the skin.

Children do need safe sun exposure for Vitamin D. However, sunscreen is recommended if your child is out in the sun during the peak sun intensity hours of 10 am to 4 pm.

Safer sunscreen options:

Badger Baby
Badger Face
Badger SPF 50 Sport Mineral Sunscreen
Babo Botanicals Baby Face
All Good Mineral Sport Sunscreen Spray
