Just wondering if anyone knows of a good natural sunscreen for toddlers and where to buy it from? I prefer the natural brands for DS and have found that some of the ingredients in regular sunscreens from the supermarket etc. will burn his face.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Have you tried a sunscreen that has titanium in it? My DD was allergic to most sunscreens and would end up with a red raw face if we used it on her. I then tried one with titanium and had no problems with it.

Never heard of a natural sunscreen, someone else might be able to help you out there.

Am not sure if mine have titanium in it or not. Will have to check. Thanks. :)

I suppose I meant like the organic-based products when I said natural.

I have used one called 'UV Natural Sunscreen' - its not the cheapest but its supposed to be pretty good, you can get it in health food shops I think. Its a pinkish coloured tube with blue writing...hope that helps!

This mightn't qualitfy as a 'natural' sunscreen but Hamilton Toddler Milk is gentle, PABA free, no preservatives and doesn't sting eyes. It doesn't contain a lot of the harsh additives that the others do and so is sutible from birth. Short shelf life due to lack of additives, only buy the small roll-on! :thumbsup:
