Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Baby Sunscreen Spray, Unscented | UVA UVB Protection | Octinoxate & Oxybenzone Free | Water Resistant, Value Size, 8oz

I am always buying new sunscreens and trying to try to solve for getting myself to actually use it every day. I've really liked products from Elta MD and Badger. I have never invested a lot of time in a review like this, but because I'm weirdly invested in my sunscreens, I'll break downs the pros and cons of my favorites.My hot take: This is a great product for my needs and I will probably keep it in my car to use anytime.TL;DRMy priorities with a sunscreen, in order of importance, are:1. Adequate protection - at least SPF 30. I prefer SPF 50 though.2. Mineral ingredients - zinc or titanium oxide.3. Texture of the sunscreen - I'm fine with a little white cast, but I don't like chalkiness.4. Convenience of application - so I'll actually use it.5. Sustainability - I try to use less plastic and aerosol cans stress me out (inhalation, hard to recycle).Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Baby Sunscreen Spray, Unscented (this product)Pros:- CONVENIENT because I can just spray it on! This is my newfound solution to re/applying at the pool and when outdoors for extended periods. And it's a spray bottle, not an aerosol can, making it less likely for me to inhale the product. (And I can reuse the spray bottle when the product is finished. Aerosol cans are hard to reuse/recycle.)- Mineral ingredients: zinc oxide 7.25%, titanium oxide 3.5%.- Great VALUE! It's an 8 oz. bottle! I paid $16.65 for an 8 oz. bottle. That's barely over $2/oz.- SPF 50 and water resistant 80 mins.- Rubs in easily.- I can see how much product I'm applying (unlike with an aerosol can).- Easier to travel with. There are some destinations that don't allow aerosol cans, but do allow spray bottles.Cons:- Of course, a spray bottle is less convenient than an aerosol can because the nozzle is slightly more awkward. I think the pros are worth this con though!- Lower amounts of active ingredients than my other sunscreens.--EltaMD UV Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF (Tinted)Pros:- Mineral ingredients: zinc oxide 9%, titanium oxide 7%.- Goes on easy, especially if you only squeeze out and spread the product once.- Lightly tinted, so, protective and can look nice.- Gentle, made for sensitive (even post-procedure) skin.- SPF 41, so over SPF 30, which is the lowest amount one should use for sun protection.Cons:- Tinted, so, my shirts' necklines get marked a bit (takes a couple washes to come out).- If you squeeze out and spread the product more than one, when rubbing it in, the sunscreen can pill up into small beads (uncomfortable and wastes product).- A bit pricey at around $36 for a 3 oz. bottle. That's $12/oz.- Water resistant 40 mins.--Badger Sport Mineral Sunscreen Tin - SPF 40 / Badger Adventure Sport Mineral Sunscreen Tin - SPF 50- Mineral ingredients: uncoated zinc oxide 25%- All natural ingredients and very safe for our Earth's waters. It's just the uncoated zinc oxide (active) and sunflower oil, beeswax, and sunflower vitamin E (inactives). No ingredient names I have to google. And 98% of ingredients are organic if you care about that (I don't really).- Protective SPF 40 and 50 available. Water resistant 80 mins.- Goes on easy once you've warmed it slightly either by rubbing the product onto your fingers or letting it sit in the sun for a couple minutes.- I can feel this sunscreen. They aren't kidding about using beeswax. This stuff is a bit sticky! However, I appreciate that I can physically feel if I've put enough product on different sections of my body. It takes a bit to absorb, but once it does, it's very moisturizing and feels nice.- Comes in an adorable metal tin that is so easy to reuse or recycle. It makes me think of Altoids tins and how some folks reuse those/create art with them.- Very compact, takes up almost on room.- Decent price at $5.62/oz. I paid $26.99 for a pack of two tins. Each tin contains 2.4 oz. of product.Cons:- Takes a little longer to apply. It's not always convenient/easy to get the product out of the tin.- If you're not used to the sticky sensation, it could throw you off.- You can get gunk inside the tin, which can be annoying to get out. In contrast, a bottle that's more sealed off wouldn't have this issue.- The tins are wrapped in a thin bit of plastic, so it's not a totally one-time-use plastic free experience.

Works great bought many times

Babyganics has consistently been my go-to brand for baby products, always delivering as expected. This sunscreen marks my first purchase from their sun protection line, and it has been impressive so far.The formula is not too greasy, making it easy to apply without leaving an uncomfortable residue. Additionally, it lacks the typical strong sunscreen smell, which is a pleasant surprise compared to other products on the market.Overall, my experience with Babyganics Sunscreen has been very positive, aligning with the high standards I've come to expect from this brand.

We love this kids mineral sunscreen! Easy application, lasting coverage and the kiddos can help “rub it in” making sunscreen application fun for littles.

Pros: Really easy to apply and to spread. It is not greasy and does not leave a tacky feel. You still feel it on the skin, however as it is not completely absorbed by the skin.Cons: Leaves white streaks. Clings to dry skin (see pic). Plus, it is difficult to know if you've already applied the suggested amount.Overall, this is good for reapplication and when going to the beach. It may be good as well for those with great/unblemished skin and/or those who do not care what they look like while out and about in public.

This product worked great on my very fair skin child, I have to make sure he always has coverage and it lasts until the next coverage time. Stays on great, and the key is it rubs in quickly

Was shipped expired product

This stuff goes on like white paint which has been good for us since our baby is pale so she hasn’t gotten burnt (or tanned) all summer at the pool lol so it does its job!
