California Baby SPF30+ Sunscreen Lotion, Everyday/Year Round, Water Resistant and Hypo-Allergenic, 2.9 Ounce

Great quality and great feel.

My toddler son has extremely sensitive skin and Coppertone Waterbabies made him break out in hives upon the first application of the summer :( A little online research sent me looking for California Baby and I ordered it from Amazon. It works great, provides great sun protection, is made of natural products, and absolutely no allergic reaction at all. The price is the downside of this product - $22 for such a small tube! But better than the $30 Target charges and I need the good stuff to protect my baby's skin.

We read a lot of info about sunscreens - I fish in the tropics all the time and as a result need good sunscreen to avoid excess UVA and UVB. Our research (check the web) showed that many of the popular sunblocks you by in big retailers have ingredients that may not be very healthy for you and we tried ones that had few or no questionable ingredients. Eventually we tried this sunblock and even though it's SPF30 it blocks sun, as far as I can tell, as well as some of the namebrands like Coppertone Sport 70 and 100 SPF sunscreens. We use this on our toddler and it works great. Only negative is like any sunscreen that uses titanium dioxide as the primary ingredient, your face will be pasty white upon first application until you rub it in. The positive is this type of sunscreen actually blocks both UVA *and* UVB whereas popular sunscreens only block - most only block UVB.

...and it works great. My kids are in and out of the water and they have yet to burn. It smells great and rubs in better than any of the other natural sunscreens. Trust me, I've tried several. At one point I was concerned about nano particles and called the company and they assured me that although it doesn't state it, California Baby does not use nano technology. We've been really happy with the many California Baby products that we've tried and the sunscreen is no exception. The only drawback is the price; I would consider it to be very expensive for a sunscreen, especially if you're having to cover entire bodies at the beach. I think it's worth it, so we keep buying it, but the price makes it border on cost-prohibitive for me.

This one smells of lemongrass and is a bit too strong for me. The smell doesnt seem to bother my daughter tho, only me. This sunscreen is sensitive and doesnt harm baby, but Im not a fan of it. If your only concern is coverage then this is a great product to use. It lasts a good while and its best to always reapply after swimming or 2-3 hours. Even though Im not too fond of the smell, I have used it on many occasions bc it does the job.!
