Infant Moisturizer with SPF
I was wondering if anyone knew of a moisturizer made specifically for infants that has SPF in it. Not a suntan lotion, but something you and I would use everyday to moisturize our skin, but have the added benefit of sun protection AND be for infants rather than you and me :-)! Thanks in advance if anyone has suggestions!

During the fall and winter months it is important for babies to get a little bit of sun for natual Vitamin D. Unless your baby is sun sensitive some sunlight is actually good for baby. A lot of the SPF out there contains chemicals that little ones probably shouldn't be exposed to on a daily basis. If you are planning on being out all day in the sun try long sleeve shirts and hats and if you do use sunblock try to use ones that have zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in it.

found this which says it can be used as an everyday moisturizer, but can't say that I have ever personally used it on any of my children. Hope it helps!

I am also curious. My daughter and I have very fair skin. I used a natural barrier on her for the summer but it is very thick and sticky. Even for myself it would be great to have a moisterizer AND sun protection that doesn't clog the pores and make you feel like you need a trowel to put it on and take it off. Good luck in your findings!!

Never heard of an infant moisturizer with SPF but we have been using California Baby's No Fragrance SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion and been very pleased. You can purchase at Whole Foods (and return if you does not work fo you) or order it on line at http://www.californiababy.com/no-fragrance-spf-30-sunscre.... It is a physical sunscreen which is supposed to be safe for infants under 6 months. Hope this helps.
