It’s been a busy a sunny week so far at Momease, with hats, sunglasses and sunblock flying out the door! Now that the sun is shining, protecting your little one’s delicate skin from the sun is a top priority, especially during the sunny months here on Vancouver Island, BC. Choosing the right sunscreen can be daunting with so many options available. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compared three baby-safe/kid-safe sunscreens available at Momease Baby Boutique, focusing on their ingredients, SPF levels, application methods, and eco-friendliness.
1. Original Sprout Face & Body Sunscreen SPF 27
Best For: Parents seeking a gentle, everyday sunscreen for babies over six months.
2. Sun Bum Baby Bum Mineral SPF 50 Roll-On Sunscreen
Best For: On-the-go families needing a mess-free, high-SPF option for quick reapplications.
3. Sun Bum Kids Spray Sunscreen SPF 50
Best For: Active toddlers and kids who need quick, full-body coverage during outdoor play.
4. Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Clear Sunscreen Face Stick
Best For: Busy parents who want a compact, ultra-portable sunscreen option for quick and targeted face protection.
🍼 Sunscreen Safety for Babies
According to the FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics, it’s best to keep infants under six months out of direct sunlight. For babies over six months, using a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is recommended. Mineral-based sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are less likely to irritate a baby’s sensitive skin.
🐠 Reef-Safe Sunscreens: Protecting Our Oceans
Reef-safe sunscreens are formulated without harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can damage coral reefs. Instead, they use mineral UV-blocking ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Choosing reef-safe options helps preserve marine ecosystems while protecting your family’s skin.
✅ Our Top Picks
Remember, no sunscreen can block 100% of UV rays. It’s essential to combine sunscreen use with other protective measures like wearing hats, seeking shade, and dressing in sun-protective clothing. Visit our Sun Care collection for more great ideas on blocking harmful UV rays with hats, sunglasses, UV sunsuits and more! Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly!☀️😎
