This is not just for kids. My family has used this sun protection for a couple of years now. I've done a ton of research about what the best sunscreen is that actually protects my skin instead of spreading toxic chemicals on it. Ive also tried many "natural" sunscreens only to be disappointed. This is a fantastic product! I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and I only want the best for their skin! My brother is dealing with stage IV melanoma skin cancer as a result of not using sunscreen his entire life. A product like this that uses natural zinc without nanoparticles is the type of product that oncologists and dermatologists recommend! This sits on your skin and acts like a barrier to reflect the sun's UV rays. If you use this the same way you use a normal sunscreen lotion, you'll be frustrated. It will not soak into your skin like other sunscreens but that's the very reason this is a great product. Your skin isn't soaking in toxic chemicals. If you start applying moderately and add as needed, it's easy to spread out and you can't see or feel it any more than other sunscreens. This product smells great! When we brought it back out this spring, it immediately reminds you of all the great memories you make while out in the sun! Read more
I love thinkbaby sunscreen! I ordered last summer when researching (using the EWG website) safe sunscreens for my daughter and have not looked back. My whole family now uses this and I have converted a few friends as well. We always have this tube with us and also like the stick for applying to my daughters face. It is zinc oxide so appears very white at first. Once rubbed in and absorbed most of the white coloring disappears. Scent does not bother us and just smells like sunscreen. My daughter has never had even the slightest sunburn and it does not irritate any of our skin. Read more
I've been using this product on my toddler for two summers now. So far I think it's working well as he's never gotten a sunburn yet! It does take a fair amount of time to rub in completely but, alas, that is the nature of baby sunblock. While a tad sticky at first, it eventually absorbs nicely into his skin. The scent is light and not unpleasant! Once it's time for bath, the product will come off fairly easily with a good soap and washcloth scrub -- nothing too harsh. Overall, very pleased! Read more
Pros: Score of 1! on EWG, best most organic sunscreen I've found, physical sun block (zinc), non-greasy, no smell, and it resists sweat extremely well Cons: Rubbed in well everywhere but my face (oily skin), must be rubbed in well otherwise a white tint (paled out) remains. http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/437612/thinksport_ThinkBaby_Sunscreen_Benefiting_Livestrong,_SPF_50%2B_(2012_formulation)/ Love this stuff! It's ridiculous that baby sunscreen is by far the best sunscreen FOR EVERYONE. When you put this on, it will not rub in that quickly on your face, at least for me, I have semi-oily skin on my face so that could be why. It rubbed it nicely on my arms and neck. I think putting it on rubbing it in as well as you can and waiting 15 minutes is mandatory if you don't want to look like a failed ghost (pales you out, but not that bad). The Zinc in this makes me feel confident that I'm being protected. Read more
When looking for a safe sunscreen to use for a child as young as six months, this sunscreen came up on top for me. It is mineral based and a healthier alternative than some of the more chemical-based sunscreens out there. It comes in two small tubes. The actual sunscreen is slightly thicker than your typical sunscreen and it can leave a thin layer of white on the skin if not rubbed in all the way or if gotten wet immediately after application. It has worked well for both of my children (9 month & 2.5 years) throughout the summer, even when I am not on top of reapplying throughout the day. We have had no sunburns!!! I also love the way it smells! Read more
