3 ingredients you don’t want in baby’s sunscreen
May 30, 2023
It's the unofficial start to summer and in our house that also means the school countdown for my kids (and husband) is down to the single digits 😎
To help you save time (and avoid unreliable, outdated google info) I wanted to share the essentials for keeping your baby safe in the sun!
Sunscreen:
- According to the AAP baby should be at least 6 months old before using sunscreen
- Use 30-50 spf
- If baby will be in the water look for 80 minutes of water resistance
- 3 ingredients you DON’T want in your baby’s sunscreen are: oxybenzone, vitamin A & insect repellant
Watch the clock:
- When possible take baby out in the early morning or late afternoon rather in the middle of the day when temperatures are the highest.
Car seat heat 🔥
- Do NOT cover your baby’s car seat with a cover. Temps rise quickly in confined spaces and this can be really dangerous.
Looking for a sun hat?
I’ll be sharing my favorite baby products to keep baby safe in my stories on instagram this weekend!
