TruKidSunny Days Sport SPF 30 Plus Water-resistant UVA/UVB Sunscreen Lotion, 3.4 fl oz

Yes, it is white on the skin for a while.. but so worth it… they do not burn, it is not sticky, no smell, & last as long as it says it does. A bit pricey but I’ll buy it again.

When it comes to sun protection, we parents just want the best for our children. How heartbreaking is it to see a little one nursing a painful red sunburn!? It's true that not all baby sunscreens are created equal. As a first time mom, I initially grabbed Banana Boat Baby thinking Banana Boat works well for me. I was horrified when I started seeing my one year old's silky white skin darkening into a farmer's tan (skin damage). Then I was introduced to the EWG (Environmental Working Group)'s recommended sunscreens based on environmental and sun safety. In addition to this product, I tried Badger Kids and BurnOut Kids (all comparably priced).TruKid is my favorite. It is not thick and chalky (like Badger Kids) so it rubs in more easily and it does not leave my son's skin feeling greasy. If you are used to the cheaper sunscreens, such as the Banana Boat, then you will find this one thicker because the active ingredient (Zinc Oxide) offers better protection against the sun (it's what lifeguards put on their nose). I think others will agree, when it comes to the safety of our children, it is well worth it to spend just a little more money to get a much more effective product! This is a sunscreen that does what it says it will do; it protects against the sun's harmful rays and helps to prevent skin damage. I will continue to buy this product for my son!

Low odor. It goes on really thick which I like so I can tell what I’ve covered on my kids shoulders

This works! Woo hoo! We had a very bad experience with the Badger Baby Suncreen and our very fair daughter. Basically, it didn't seem to work at all. She got a very severe sunburn using that sunscreen, even though we were very generous with it and reapplied every 40 minutes. It simply didn't block the sun enough.We definitely want to avoid "standard" sunscreens if possible, both for general health concerns and because I happen to be allergic to some sunscreen ingredients, so knew we wanted to try something else that is also a zinc-based, surface product rather than one that's absorbed.Our hunt is over because she hasn't gotten a sunburn since we started using this, and she's regularly been out in the sun and playing in the water. Success! It's also easy to rub in and spreads nicely. No downsides that I can think of. :)

I like this sunscreen but there is often a problem with the tube it comes in. The last one I bought was cut on the back (maybe due to an accidental knife cut? And it wasn’t me cutting open the box, it came in an Amazon shipping bag) so when I was squeezing out sunscreen at the top I unknowingly was also squeezing out a ton on the side. Another tube I bought previously had the stopper break off in the hole where the sunscreen comes out, so we always had to squeeze extra hard for that one. I’ll probably still keep buying these but it’s annoying so have these issues about 50% of the time.

We just got back from a two week vacation to Cancun. We spent a lot of time in the ocean and the pool and no one got burned. Caveat, when using these kinds of sunscreens you need to first, moisturize your skin. These thick, zinc sunscreens will not go on well if you don't. I take along my own mix of oil in a spray bottle and spray first and then apply the sunscreen. Best way to apply is to squeeze a dollop of the stuff in your hands, rub your hands together and then apply to your body. We took along 5 tubes of True Kids and came back with unused bottles (4 people, plus used some on our friend's kids). We applied at least 3 times a day between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. We waited at least 15 minutes before we entered the water. This stuff works great and no one got burned. With any sunscreen you have to be diligent with reapplication if you are in the water and surf a lot. We also took shade breaks. Thing is, your skin can only handle just so much sun, so if you use common sense for your skin type, this sunscreen will do its job. It can't protect someone who over exposes their skin, doesn't reapply frequently enough, and/or jumps right into the water after application.

In a search for a natural "better for you" sunscreen (lots of research and EWG approval) I decided to buy 3 products for comparison:Babo Botanicals 30 SPF Clear Zinc Sunscreen; TruKid SPORT Unscented/Water Resistant Sunny Days SPF30+ Lotion and Green Screen Sunscreen from Kabana.1.Babo is been superb for my face, absorbs well, no stickiness or white film, not to mention the wonderful smell.2.Trukid is been great for my body, also absorbing well (it kind of disappears on your skin). A bit sticky, but not so much to dislike it. No fragrance w/ a nice consistency to spread well all over.3.Green Screen was the most unpleasant one for me. It was way too thick, hard to apply on and left an undesirable white cast on my skin.All of them are high quality organic (top-rated, no chemicals, broad spectrum, non-nano, not-micronized Zinc Oxide) sunscreens but only the first two worked for me.

I love this brand. This is the first year I've bought the Sport version, as it claims more water resistance. We've just tried it out at the pool and my kids came away unburned. Proper application and reapplication is key with ANY sunscreen. Make sure you apply it 30 minutes before exposure, and reapply at least every hour, more often if they've been swimming and towel dried.It is thick, which I appreciate, because I know if i've missed spots. It is a small bottle, but I know we'll go through at least 2 every summer. Knowing this is rated a 1 on EWG brings me piece of mind, while also being assured it's providing excellent sun protection for my children.
