Give them a try, we promise you will never go back to the chemically stuff again. However, there are a few gems we can proudly give our What Moms Love seal of approval. We’ve tested countless sunscreens that the EWG has given their top “1” ranking, and unfortunately, most are not the easiest to apply (especially to squirmy kids who are attempting to escape the goopy stuff), and many leave them looking pretty ghostly. We encourage you to browse the EWG site, and to stick to their list of the best sunscreens for kids. The group recommends staying clear of sunscreen containing Oxybenzone which can disrupt the hormone system, Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) which can speed the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight, and any sprays which release harmful nano-particles into the air which can then be inhaled.įreaked out yet? Fortunately, at the top of EWG’s list are sunscreens that provide great sun protection without the use of these harmful chemicals. Luckily, The Environmental Working Group provides a great comprehensive list of the best sunscreens that not only provide protection from the sun’s UV rays, but also contain the safest ingredients. The latest parental generation seems to be much more well-versed in the virtues of protecting our kids’ skin, but there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the toxic ingredients in sunscreen that, over time, could be just as damaging. No one wants their child to experience the sunburn we did back in the day – not only is it extremely painful (blisters, ouch!), but it can greatly increase their risk of skin cancer later in life.
