Suntan Lotions to Protect Your Little Ones
For Everyone—CoppertoneWhat they say: Coppertone KIDS® QuickCover® Lotion Spray SPF 50: * Lotion spray "shows where it goes"
* Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
* Instant waterproof protection
* Absorbs quickly
* Contains moisturizers
* Sprays at any angle
* Exclusive twist-and-lock cap means no cap to lose
* Available in 6 oz. size
What we say: Who hasn’t worn Coppertone at one point or another? The best part about this specific product is that you can see where you’re putting it so you can avoid missing spots (like the top of the feet or middle back). We also like its waterproof protection and that it doesn’t clog your pores like heavy lotions would.
For Babies (or Big Spenders)—Mustela BabyWhat they say: Mustela® offers sun protection with 100 percent mineral or organic-mineral non-penetrating sunscreens, which ensure reinforced protection against a wide spectrum of UVA (long and short), UVB and infrared rays. Mustela® sun protection products have a double protection: Its high SPF index protects against sunburns on the skin’s surface and a cellular protection protects the skin’s cells and their natural defenses deep down.
What we Say: We love knowing our children are protected with this lotion. We also love knowing we aren’t slathering them with a ton of chemicals. While the cost is higher than a lot of other lotions, a little goes a long way with this product—and we figure, it’s worth a few extra bucks to ensure our children’s skin is protected.
For Organically Minded—Badger SPF 30 for Face and BodyWhat they say: Badger SPF formulas are water resistant for up to 40 minutes, safe for children of all ages, thoroughly moisturize while they protect and smell reminiscent of a holiday luau. These are natural, physical barrier sunscreens.
What we say: Badger products are safe for your children and the environment. The best part is they’re affordable too. We like the scent, plus they’re easy to rub in and absorb without leaving a sticky residue. |
