Easy to apply (lotion, stick, or spray that isn’t a total hassle)
Fragrance-free
Extra Details:
I’m looking for a reliable sunscreen for my toddler. I know little ones need extra protection, but I also don’t want something that’s greasy, hard to apply, or full of harsh chemicals. FYI, mine HATES putting on sunscreen! There are so many options out there — mineral vs. chemical, sprays vs. lotions, fragrance-free, water-resistant — it’s a bit overwhelming.
Jumping in to second Blue Lizard Baby — it’s one of the few mineral sunscreens my toddler doesn’t scream about when I put it on 😅. It goes on a little thick at first (typical for zinc-based), but it rubs in better than most and doesn’t leave that extreme ghost look. After trying a bunch of “clean” baby sunscreens, this is the one I keep rebuying.
