Sun Care for Babies & Children

For babies younger than six months, it's best to avoid sunscreen and rely on shade and protective clothing. For older infants and children, use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 30, applying it 15-30 minutes before going outside and reapplying every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

Opt for sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these physical blockers are less likely to irritate sensitive skin and provide broad-spectrum protection.
