I've had great luck using California Baby SPF Sunscreen 30+ no fragrance. This is a non-chemical sunscreen, tear free, no PBA and no nut oils, gluten, soy, oat or dairy.

I like blue lizzard australian sunscreen - it is available at local stores but if you cannot find it locally try onestepahead.com
Also the best way for young children & babies to stay sfae is SPF clothing. Land's end, llbean, onestepahead.com and many other retailers sell SPF clothing.

Hi R.- I use nothing else but California Baby for my 2 little ones. You can now find it in most Target stores - in the baby wash/moisturizer aisle. If you go to http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1 you can find lots of information about non toxic items for yourself as well as the babies. It's been my go to when I need to purchase something.
Good luck and have a great time on your vacation!

Our pediatricians recommend Water Babies. They always said at least 50spf, but I've seen it higher now, so get as high as you can.
Have fun. Also, keep a hat and cotton shirt on the baby to keep him out of the direct sun, even though he'll have sunscreen on....that you'll reapply throughout the day. :-)

there is a sunscreen in a pink bottle that says pediatrcrine recommended .it says babies and toddlers on the label. it is very safe i still use it for my five and three yr old . if you have a question about it you should ask the babys dr or a pharmacy tech at your drug store H.

Well, I do know a great company that sells all organic and nontoxic products. It's called Melaleuca. Not sure if you've heard of it before. They do have sunscreens and in fact I believe they even have ones for just children. If you're interested, let me know.

Hi
I have a 7 month old and just bought California Baby for our trip to Florida. I've heard great things and the Birth Boutique in Denville suggested using it.
