It’s vegan, EWG-verified for safety, Hawaii-compliant, and crafted in the USA, making it a practical choice for daily sun care from stroller walks to swim time.

How does this sunscreen protect my baby’s skin?

The product relies on zinc oxide, a mineral that physically deflects and scatters ultraviolet rays. Because it’s a broad-spectrum formula, it helps reduce the skin’s exposure to both UVA and UVB radiation while avoiding chemical absorbers that some parents prefer to skip.

• Active ingredient: 100% zinc oxide (mineral, non-chemical)
• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 for strong daytime protection
• Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate; Hawaii-compliant
• EWG-verified and dermatologist-tested for reduced irritation risk

Will it feel heavy or leave a white cast?

The lotion is formulated to be fast-absorbing and lightweight to minimize greasiness and visible residue on most skin tones. While mineral sunscreens can sometimes appear white, this formula aims for a low-whitening finish suitable for everyday use on face and body.

• Non-greasy, quick-absorbing consistency
• Low-whitening formulation for easier blending
• 3 oz travel-friendly size for on-the-go protection

Is this safe for sensitive or allergy-prone children?

It’s created specifically for very sensitive skin and avoids common irritants like fragrance and essential oils. The sunscreen is clinically tested, EWG-verified, and crafted to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, while excluding common food allergens often found in personal care products.

• Fragrance-free and free of essential oils
• Gluten-, dairy-, peanut-, almond-, and walnut-free
• Dermatologist-tested and rated highly for safety

How well does it hold up in water and active play?

This lotion is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it useful for swim sessions and sweaty play. Reapply after toweling off, prolonged water exposure, or every two hours for ongoing outdoor activity.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes
• Effective during swimming and active outdoor play when reapplied as directed
• Suitable for both face and body application
