baby sunscreen

Mineral zinc only

Mineral zinc sunscreens that sit on top of skin instead of soaking in — with the fine print actually read.

For babies, mineral-only isn't a preference, it's the whole point: zinc oxide sits on top of skin instead of soaking in. Every sunscreen here uses zinc (or titanium) as the only active — and we read the inactive ingredients too, because a few “100% mineral” bottles hide a chemical UV booster where nobody looks. Not these.
