Earth Mama, Baby, Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 40, 84g

I love this brand for my baby. It's a slightly thick sunscreen and leaves a white residue, but that doesn't bother me because I know it's made with good ingredients to take care of my baby's health. I used it to take my baby to the beach, and it's guaranteed.

Bought this for my 1 year old and really like it. It does require lots of rubbing in to smooth as it is white in color. It is less toxic than other brands. My one year old has eczema, and it did not bother her skin at all.

Provides good protection

I've been using this sunscreen on my 18-month-old for beach trips and daily playground time. Overall very happy with the protection and natural ingredients, but there are a couple things to know before buying. **The good:** - Excellent sun protection - no burns even during long beach days - Goes on smoothly, not too thick or greasy - Natural ingredients give me peace of mind for baby's sensitive skin - Water resistant as advertised - stays put through splashing and sweating - No harsh chemical smell like some sunscreens **The not-so-good:** - Definitely leaves a white cast, especially on darker skin tones - Takes some rubbing to blend in completely - A bit pricey compared to regular sunscreens - Tube is smaller than expected for the price **Application tips:** I've found it works best if you take time to really rub it in. Don't rush the application or you'll end up with white streaks. Also works better on slightly damp skin. My pediatrician specifically recommended mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide for babies, and this one checks all the boxes for safe ingredients. The white residue is typical for zinc-based sunscreens, so it's not really a defect - just something to expect. **Bottom line:** Would definitely repurchase despite the white cast issue. The protection and clean ingredients are worth it for my little one's delicate skin. Just budget extra time for application.

I love the fact this is non toxic! It is quite thick and can be difficult to spread, but I just mix it with a little coconut oil to make it easier to spread.
