I’m just really curious on when you moms stopped buying sunscreen that says kids on it for your child? I have a 5 year old. I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing that’s why I’m asking. What age were your kids when you stopped buying sunscreen that had kids on the label

I don't use kids sun cream! I just use the same for us all in high factor... maybe I'm wrong??

As long as ot is factor 50 and more importantly has at least 4 uva starts preferable 5 uva stars i will use it on my children. I honestly don't think theres any difference in a child or adults suncream.

I would use a baby specific sunscreen on under ones if it was needed, but after that age I just use adult sunscreen. I hate those kids sunscreens that are coloured, especially the insipid green nivea one.

I just use a good factor 50 that is as waterproof as suncream can be. Never bought a kids specific one.

This is good to know. I wasn’t sure if there was a certain age that mothers stopped buying sunscreen labeled kids for their kids.
