This lightweight lotion blends naturally sourced 100% zinc oxide with soothing oat-derived ingredients to protect delicate skin without irritation. Designed for everyday outdoor play, it’s free of oxybenzone, parabens, and fragrance, applies smoothly to face and body, and is recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists. The 3 fl oz size is travel-friendly for outings, pool days, and family trips where dependable protection and gentle formulation matter.

How does this sunscreen protect my child from the sun?

It uses a mineral active—zinc oxide—that sits on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays rather than absorbing them. This broad-spectrum defense helps reduce the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches sensitive skin during outdoor activity.

• 100% naturally sourced zinc oxide active ingredient
• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 blocks both UVA and UVB rays
• Mineral formula provides physical sun protection suitable for sensitive skin

Will it irritate my child’s eyes or clog their skin?

The formula is tear-free and created to minimize stinging if it migrates near the eyes. It’s hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and without parabens, reducing common irritants for children with reactive or delicate skin. The finish is non-greasy so it won’t leave heavy residue that could feel uncomfortable under play gear.

• Tear-free formulation reduces eye irritation risk
• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free for sensitive skin
• Non-greasy texture absorbs easily for comfortable wear

How should I apply and reapply this mineral sunscreen?

Apply liberally at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow an even protective layer to form. Because it’s water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel-drying, and at least every two hours for continuous coverage during extended outdoor time.

• Apply 15 minutes prior to sun exposure for best protection
• Reapply after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating
• Reapply immediately after towel-drying and at least every two hours

Is this sunscreen suitable for daily use and travel?

The compact 3 fl oz tube fits backpacks, diaper bags, and carry-on luggage, making it convenient for daily routines and vacations. Its gentle mineral formula is appropriate for both face and body, so you can use a single product for most family outings and keep sun protection simple.

• 3 fl oz travel-friendly size for on-the-go protection
• One product for face and body to simplify application
• From Aveeno, a brand known for gentle oat-based skin care
