Sunscreen recs?

[Bernadine]

Not just for the face. Anything you love?  Especially for kids.

We really like thinkbaby/thinksport and Green Beaver, it’s what we use on DS.

I bought a giant tube of this for like $8 or something ridiculously cheap. It's a physical blocker. Rubs in reasonably well and we haven't had any issues with the kids burning. I like it a lot, especially for the price point.

For myself, I've been using Australian Gold. I really like it. It isn't greasy and doesn't feel like I'm putting on sun screen. Plus it smells good. eta: It's also a physical blocker and rubs in well.

I'm a huge fan of Sun Bum. My brother uses their kids' version (Baby Bum) on his son. It's really fantastic.

I agree with isabel. I love banana boat sunscreen for kids. It works really well.

[Jalapeñomel]

I bought some Blue Lizard, but I haven’t used it yet.

[pierogigirl]

I like Blue Lizard. I only buy physical blockers and this one rubs in pretty well. It's a little greasy feeling for my face under makeup so I've been using one by Cera-ve.

Think Sport is my favorite. Rubs in well and not greasy at all. It is kind of pricey though so we also use and like Alba Mineral Sport and the Banana Boat Simply Protect mentioned above.

[Aloe Vera]

I really like Bare Republic and Alba Botanica sunscreens.
Both are available at Target and both are not tested on animals and are coral-reef safe. We tested both brands in Polynesia. My family is pasty white and stayed in the sun/water all day long. We didn't get a single sunburn.

Thanks- I try to stay cruelty free as well, so I may try these.

Sun Bum/Baby Bum is also cruelty free.

I just started using Bare Republic as well. I like it. H is iffy because he's really sweaty and says it gets streaky, but I think most physical blocker sunscreens are like that (?)

[egishere]

Love Sun Bum - available at Target

[gerberdaisy]

Theres a coppertop that I love this year, pure and simple, but the one with zinc in it. Its not too expensive, #1 rated by EWG and rubs in much better than some of other mineral sunscreens I've used.

I'm pissed though, ordered some from amazon and they send me the wrong one, but not worth sending it back.

Also, the bare republic spray is really good.

[DarcyLongfellow]

I've been using Banana Boat Dry Balance for the past year. It isn't sticky at all -- you basically don't notice you're wearing it. Not only is DD2 is actually willing to wear it daily without a fight, but she even asks for it in the mornings because she loves the scent. I use it too.

DD1 has sensitive skin, so she has to use a physical sunscreen. I buy her the Babyganics in the spray bottle. It isn't an aerosol, it has a regular pump.

[kooshball]

I tried to find reef safe sunscreen but its challenging. You might also add that to the list.

[huskymom]

We like Thinksport, Alba & Sunbum. NOT the thinksport face stick though. I'm sure it works well but I could not rub it in my kids' faces at all - they were ghosts all day.

[dochas]

i use the Banana Boat Simply Protect as well.

[sweetchix]

My dad sent me this the other day. I’m not sure where he saw it, but it ranks the different sunscreens. Walmart’s Equate is actually high on the list as recommended.



Having said that, we’ve been using Banana Boat Dry Balance in both the lotion and the spray. I may switch it up when I need to restock.
