Mineral kids sunscreen?

[katem98]

Can anyone recommend a decent factor 30/50 mineral sunscreen for kids?? I can't decide. Hopefully one that doesn't stain clothes, isn't sticky and gentle on eczema prone skin

I like the ultrasun 50+ kids one, no stains yet!

@fyn I don't think it's a mineral sunscreen is it?

Sunsense is good for eczema/very sensitive skin and I haven’t found it stains.

If anyone ever finds this thread just an update.

Purchased Aveeno Continuous Protection Zinc Oxide sunscreen and Alba Botanica Mineral sunscreen.

Both great but out of the two the Alba Botanica is my favourite. Goes on really easy and leaves no white cast. Has a better smell and all around better!

Thanks for that. Am always on the lookout for decent zinc based sunscreens, I like that you don't have to top up unless washed off.

Would you say they would leave a cast on an olive skinned person. I'm kind of a milky tea colour.

@FrownsAndDimples You're welcome.

I would say the Aveeno one would probably leave a white cast. I did give time to settle into the skin but it was still quite white and reflective. The Botanica one sets really quickly, mineral white cast and completely colourless after 5 mins x

Thank you will give it a whirl!

@katem98 was it the alba children's one you tried, or the standard one?

@thewonderfulthingabouttigger It was this one here (please see link). The sheer mineral 30spf.

Stream2sea is the best I must say. You should give it a try
