All of these sunscreens are effective, safe and don’t contain harmful ingredients. Just click on them and it will take you to a paragraph where you can read more about them. That said, below in the picture grid are the broad-spectrum sunscreens that are our favorites. Please take care when trying new sunscreens out especially for protection/coverage.

(They’ll be super excited about that.) Update + Additional Thoughts: these are our personal recommendations.
My kids are not big fans of gloppiness.Īll of these sunscreens are available for easy purchase online (hello, Amazon!) and we wouldn’t be surprised if we missed one or a few that we should have considered in our “testing phase.” Just let us know in the comments and I’ll be sure to try it out on my kids.

(Just to remind you, zinc oxide and avobenzone are the only active ingredients in sunscreen that protect against UVA1 rays, however zinc oxide protects against UVA2 and UVB rays as well.) Also, personal preference is a big factor in finding a sunscreen that you like, so while all of the products did pretty much the same job protecting our skin from the sun, some we didn’t care for based on smell, ease of rubbing into the skin, or just the overall gloppiness of it. Please note that I only tested broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF factor greater than 30, containing zinc oxide, that have a #1 or #2 ranking from the Environmental Working Group and didn’t contain the controversial ingredient oxybenzone. Unless you have a baby that doesn’t sweat or won’t be in the water, a non-water-resistant sunscreen is just not practical. We have discovered that many of the sunscreens that rank highly on the EWG list (i.e., score of #1 or #2) are actually NOT water-resistant and you need to read the label very very carefully to discover that. A new factor in determining whether a sunscreen is on our “Favorite” or “Approved” lists, is whether it is water-resistant. Over the past few years (since 2012), I’ve tested a few dozen sunscreens (much to the huge delight of my kids who just love it when I constantly rub sunscreen on them) and determined which ones I would recommend, based on safety of ingredients, performance and price (you won’t find all of the 41 sunscreens we’ve tested below any longer since some of them have been discontinued). Methodology in Picking our Favorite Sunscreens
Now that we know what to look for in a sunscreen, in terms of balancing protection versus health safety of the product, here’s what we think are the best choices for your family.
