- Muttleyamong the best sunscreens on the market...In the summertime protecting myself and my children from harmful effects of sun is of great importance. We all need sunlight for proper Vitamin D synthesis in our body however a 20 minute/day direct exposure (not blocked by window glass or clear plastic) is more than enough for that purpose. Anything above that starts to show the adverse effects of the sun. What are they? The most pronounced two adverse effects are premature aging of skin and skin cancer, not to mention horrible immediate redness and tenderness followed by peeling of skin which can cancel your all joy from a beach holiday.
To avoid all those effects we have to take preventive measures. The most effective and the least harmful preventive measure is to avoid exposure to sun during critical hours. So if you can avoid being under direct sunlight between 10am and 3pm you are doing the best you can do.
Second comes appropriate clothing and accessories. I recommend using rash guards (top part of swim suits that can block UV while not causing a big restriction.) They should be worn especially by children although I, as an adult men, got used to wearing oneSpeedo Men's UPF 50+ Easy Short Sleeve Rashguard Swim Teehappily . Hats and glasses are other accessories that come to my mind as preventive measures.
Third comes the sunscreens. The reason I rate it below the first two is that it contains a bunch of ingredients and can readily be absorbed by body, enter blood stream or have effects in local skin tissue. Therefore it is critical to know what is in it and what it does after routine daily use. Another reason is that it may give a false safety feeling since it is not effective until 15 minutes has past after applying and the protective effect vanishes after 80 minutes.(also true for this model as written on the bottle). So not knowing these details may get you unprotected while you mistakenly believe you are safe...
According to FDA website 17 ingredients are allowed to be topically applied to skin for the purpose of sun protection. External websites (including the Oz show and EWG) says 15 of them are proven endocrine distruptors which, after entering your blood stream can act as your hormones and cause imbalance, leading to different adverse effects. Oxybenzene (endocrine distruptor) and some vitamin A derivatives (claimed by some sources as carcinogenic) are the most infamous nasty chemicals among the other bad fellows that make up the list.
The 'innocent' guys are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Those ingredients are believed to be relatively harmless while offering good UV protection.
This particular product has 20% zinc oxide as the active ingredient. So it has an overall rating of 1 out of 10 in EWG (Environmental Working Group) website (lower number means less harmful) Zinc oxide, on that website , is rated as 2 with some minor concerns about cellular problems and bio-accumulation. Other filler ingredients are listed as harmless except dimethicone which was rated 3 due to some organ level toxicity concerns as well as environmental toxicity issues. However among the list of 462 sunscreens clearly investigated by that independent agency, this one still rates among the top products. Besides it is rated as having a good balance of UV A and UV B protection by many external websites I have searched including EWG itself.
After all those general information, here comes my hands on experience after two months of use:
-It is effective: No sunburn in my children after our two weeks of beach holiday. (But I have to say we have avoided the sun by staying in shade as much as possible and used protective clothing too..)
-It did not cause any irritation or skin problems,it is also written on the bottle to be safe for babies over 6 months old (younger than that: check with your doctor is what it says)
-It does not smell nasty. No smell apart from a mild fruity smell.
-Price wise it is okay especially when considering the availability to order it through subscribe and save and get an additional upto 20% discount (at the time I bought it). (some reviewers point out bigger 6 ounce sizes are available for cheaper in external websites which might be worth considering too...)
Over all, I am pretty happy about the purchase and apply it without much concern to my kids as an additional sun protection to other methods, I discussed above. Just keep in mind the instructions and re-apply regularly and you are good to go... - HarrisThinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Mineral Sunscreen – Trusted Protection for Sensitive SkinThinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Mineral Sunscreen offers a safe and effective solution for protecting your baby's delicate skin from harmful UV rays.

- Elizabeth U.Good stuff!Bought this for our little one on a trip to Maui. I wanted something clean as I do my very best not to put any chemicals on her skin. I like that this product is free of endocrine disrupters and carcinogens. So many products are absolutely awful for us, and I appreciate being able to find things that still work without compromising safety or long-term effects. She did not burn with this stuff on so it worked great! It wasn’t as thick and hard to rub in as some other brands. I would recommend!
- VMGo-To Mineral Sunscreen for the FamilyThinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Mineral Sunscreen has earned a permanent spot in our medicine cabinet. The first thing I look for in any sun protection, especially for my child, is a clean ingredient list, and this one delivers. It’s a non-nano zinc oxide formula that provides effective broad-spectrum protection without any of the chemicals I try to avoid. It gives me great peace of mind to use a product that’s free from parabens, oxybenzone, and a lot of other common irritants. The light, natural scent is also a huge plus; it’s a subtle, almost fruity aroma that isn't overpowering like many other sunscreens.
For a mineral sunblock, this formula is surprisingly easy to work with. Yes, it comes out of the tube thick, as you’d expect from a zinc-based cream, and initially leaves a white cast. However, with just a little rubbing, it absorbs much better than its competitors. I've found it doesn't leave that heavy, sticky, or greasy feeling on the skin. We’ve tested this out on long, active days at the pool and the park. The water resistance is top-notch, holding up for the promised 80 minutes of play without fail.
Most importantly, it’s highly effective. My child's sensitive skin hasn't had any irritation or breakouts, and we've had zero sunburns since switching to this. It's gentle enough for daily use but robust enough for a full day of swimming or sun exposure. The protection is reliable, and the application is manageable, even on a squirmy toddler. This is a genuinely fantastic, skin-friendly mineral sunscreen that works well for all skin types in the family.
