It rubs in really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718559 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:14:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2718559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the kids I have liked Blue Lizard (forget which one specifically), Alba botanicals, and Think Baby. I probably like think baby best but it's more expensive. </p> <p>I usually use Alba botanicals for myself. It runs in easier than the others. I usually use the same one on myself as the kids, though blue Lizard was a little hard to rub in. </p> <p>I'm very sensitive to avobenzone and my skin burns if I use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718515 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:52:49 +0000 pregnantbee 2718515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718513 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:45:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2718513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: yup same one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718509 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:41:20 +0000 pregnantbee 2718509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718508 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:40:09 +0000 rattles 2718508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: We use this one:<br /> Blue Lizard Australian SUNSCREEN SPF 30+, Baby, SPF 30+, 8.75-Ounces <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AU15E0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_86v3ybWEXQ4R7" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AU15E0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_86v3ybWEXQ4R7</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718502 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:36:44 +0000 pregnantbee 2718502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @rattles: @pwnstar: Which Blue Lizard did you get?

I liked the Babyganics best overall because, unlike the purely mineral ones, it wasn't difficult to rub in or wash off. It uses minerals and also two chemical sunscreens; it doesn't contain avobenzone, which seems to be in every other chemical sunscreen and is irritating to my sensitive skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718469 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 13:58:19 +0000 Portboston 2718469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out Gimmie The Good Stuff blog.

The EWG rating is 1. I like it but I've only used it a couple of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718422 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 12:44:36 +0000 peachykeen 2718422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think Baby and Think Sport are our favorites, but if there's a good deal on Babyganics I am comfortable using that as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718418 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 12:37:28 +0000 dolphin 2718418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ThinkBaby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718280 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 10:13:29 +0000 rattles 2718280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blue Lizard is our favorite. We used California Baby when my first was little, but I found it much harder to rub in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718277 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 10:10:58 +0000 catlady 2718277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think Baby for us too. We've used it on our LO for 3 years now and no burns. Last year I got the adult version for myself (Think Sport, I think). I used to use Neutrogena Drytouch and I do prefer that texture but I was pregnant last summer so I wanted something that had a better EWG rating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718271 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 10:05:15 +0000 pwnstar 2718271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blue Lizard and BurnOut. I have also used them both!</p> <p>Eta: Also, sunscreen is better than no sunscreen. I'm picky when I can be, but otherwise, I will always opt to protect my kiddos' skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718268 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 10:03:39 +0000 Bluebonnet 2718268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: We love Think Baby too! I use it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718264 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:55:26 +0000 looch 2718264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's better to use the chemical sunscreens than nothing at all, so I don't discount their use. I personally use a chemical sunscreen on myself otherwise I won't use it, it's not so much the white sheen that bothers me, it is how much scrubbing I have to do to get it off at the end of the day!</p> <p>For my son, I really like Alba Botanicals. I think they're higher than 1 rating, but I still prefer that to the straight mineral ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718263 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:55:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2718263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@atoz: If I'm not already wearing SPF make up, I just use theirs b/c I will most likely forget to apply on my own or bring my own.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718258 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:51:31 +0000 atoz 2718258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: maybe I just need to get used to it! </p> <p> @Banana330: @snowjewelz: good to know!

Safe, easy to spread, and comes in bigger bottles. I'll be buying again this summer for both my girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718249 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:45:22 +0000 MrsBrewer 2718249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most safe ones are mineral based, which is that thick white paste sunscreens. I wasn't fond of them at first, but then I realized how much safer they are, and if its not rubbed in 100% oh well, I totally got over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718247 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:43:55 +0000 Banana330 2718247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think baby is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunscreen-for-mom-amp-baby#post-2718239 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:37:31 +0000 atoz 2718239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After getting outside yesterday, I realized I already managed to get an early spring sunburn! And after looking into products for my LO, I finally am coming to realize the importance of a safer sunscreen ( my Coppertone days are over, I guess!). I've tried Honest Co. sunscreen before but found it super greasy and impossible to rub in.</p> <p>So, what are your favorite safe sunscreens for you and/or your LO? (Please specify if you use it too!). I'm in the market for something that preferably has an EWG rating of 1 and isn't really greasy or thick/pasty/leaves a white sheen. Tall order? </p>
