The Best Sunscreen for Toddlers: These Withstand Water, Sweat and Wear

It is so important to protect the sensitive skin of children and toddlers from the harsh rays of the sun with a good sunscreen that has a high SPF, and will withstand water, sweat and wear.

One of the best sunscreens on the market for toddlers is a chemical and fragrance free sunscreen made by the company Blue Lizard. Blue lizard uses the active ingredients titanium dioxide, as well as zinc oxide to provide an SPF protection factor of thirty and above. This sunscreen is long lasting, but can be difficult to apply as it is a lot thicker than other sunscreens. The active ingredients form a barrier against the sun, not allowing the toddlers skin to be burnt.

Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection SPF 40 is a great sunscreen by the makers of many of the best loved baby products. It is easily applied, and found at the local drug store. The SPF of 40 is great for long days in the sun, and this sunscreen will not wear from sweat, sand or water. It is however, a good idea to reapply sunscreen on children regularly, as a precaution.

Ombrelle Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 can also be purchased from the local drug store and is one of the most effective products for the sensitive skin of toddlers. A large bottle can be purchased for thirteen dollars, and is easy to apply. The smell is natural, and clean smelling. Not fake like many other sunscreens. The applicator top is easy to open, and the bottle is compacted to fit easily into a beach bag.

Neutrogena Sensitive Skin SPF 30 is perfect for toddler skin that has not seen much exposure to the sun. It is one of the lotions that I have used in the past that have been the easiest to apply to the skin. I enjoy the fact that we did not have to spend countless minutes waiting to rub in the lotion, and have it absorb into the skin. It is a quick application process, and the SPF 30 provides adequate protection for our toddlers, it is absorbed quickly, and therefore I like to apply it often throughout the day to make sure that they are protected.

California Baby is one of the little known sub blocks that provide some of the best protection for the sensitive skin of infants and toddlers. This formula has been specially created for young skin, and will protect it from the harmful rays of the sun. it is a great size to stick in your pocket, or have in your purse for that day out and is chemical and PABA free. We prefer these chemical free sunscreens because chemicals should not be put onto the skin of a toddler only to be absorbed into their bodily systems. It smells great, and has wonderful packaging. It is a treat to put on.
