Safe sunscreen for babies is a major concern for parents everywhere – especially during the hot summer months. Here’s what we’re using to protect our littles and why sunscreen for babies is an important investment.

Looking For Safe Sunscreen For Babies? Here’s What We’re Using
Sun shiny days are ahead of us (even though it took us quite a while to get there this year, right?), which means much more outdoor play and moments where we will quite literally be soaking in those glorious golden rays. I know that I’m looking forward to running again and more trips to the park so that Branden can bike and Blake can climb all the playground equipment that she loves. And of course, more outdoor play means more energy burned and better sleep. Hooray for sunshine!
While I celebrate the sun with every fiber of my being, it’s also important to make sure that our precious skin is protected against it – especially our little one’s skin that is still growing. So no matter where we go, including a recent trip to Texas, I make sure that AVEENO® Baby CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 comes along with us.
What makes this safe sunscreen for babies?
Let’s be real here: there are a LOT of options on the market when it comes to sunscreen for babies. With so many options to choose from, it can get overwhelming really fast. For me, I like to turn towards brands that I already love and have a trustworthy relationship, which is whereAVEENO® Baby CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 comes in. Aveeno offers an effective, natural solution with 100% mineral sun blockers with 100% Zinc-Oxide UVA/UVB mineral protection; plus, it’s hypoallergenic – which lets me know that our little Blake is in good hands.
The AVEENO® Baby CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Twin Pack goes with us everywhere! I always love buying items like this in bulk at Walmart (CLICK HERE to save $5 off your purchase!) so that we can have one in the car and one on me at all times in our diaper bag or in my purse. We’re a busy, on the go family, and having our sunscreen easily accessible means that I have it handy for those easy application moments. You know what I’m talking about, right? With a wiggly toddler on our hands, sometimes when she’s in the car seat is that only moment we have to apply a really thick layer and then catch her when she least expects it for quick re-application throughout the day!
But I also want to point out that the AVEENO® Baby CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Twin Pack is so much more than just sunscreen, as it locks in moisture through its ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat formula that soothes and nourishes baby’s skin – so it’s basically a 2-in-1 type product, which I love (ahem….saves time!).
And did I mention that it’s tear-free? You guys: this aspect is truly a game changer for moms! How many times has your little one rubbed their freshly applied sunscreen for babies and then gotten it right in their eyes? Often. Gosh the memories I have from this happening when Branden was a little babe (which, speaking of Branden, we use this sunscreen on him, too). And lastly, I love that it’s Hypoallergenic and free of parabens, phthalates, dyes, and fragrance – making it gentle enough to use every day, which is completely necessary.

I’m honestly so thankful to have this sunscreen for babies, from a brand that we’ve loved and trusted since Branden was being carried around on my hip, by my side. AVEENO® Baby CONTINUOUS PROTECTION Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 has seriously thought of everything when it comes to safe sunscreen for babies and is unparalleled and only the best in my eyes.
XOXO,

I have always loved Aveeno products. It’s definitely a brand that I trust.
That sounds like a great sunscreen. I love finding products that are safe for the little ones’ sensitive skin.
We have always loved Aveeno products. I feel like they are perfect for my daughters sensitive skin!
I love Aveeno products. I will be passing this on to my friends with little ones.
That is great! I am glad to see so many big brands coming out with safe sunscreen options for babies and kids.
I love that this is tear & paraben free! I might actually get some for myself. I hate the harsh stuff!
I love Aveeno products. I use them for all 6 of my kids. I have not used this sunscreen yet but I will have to get some.
Aveeno is seriously the best and I loved it for all my babies. Sunscreen is so important too – I know, as a mother of redheads!
This is so great to learn. We are expecting our third child so will be needing this product in future.
Aveeno is gentle on my skin as an adult – so it must be good for babies! Will have to try it.
We’ve used Aveeno when my daughter was a baby. It was always a go-to for us.
Our dermatologist told us that the mineral based sunscreens are best because kids are less likely to be sensitive or have an allergic reaction to them.
I’ve always used Aveeno products. I made sure to have their baby suncare on hand when my son was little.
That sounds like a great choice for moms. Love that Aveeno continues to have amazing baby products!
We always used Aveeno when my kids were little. It’s a great brand!
I use Aveeno for all my kids sensitive skin! Love your dress BTW 🙂
I like to only use products on my kids that are safe and natural. I bet this would be good on my slightly older kids too!
