I have used the Neutrogena SPF 30 one for years but I don't see it in stores anymore so I'm afraid it's been discontinued :( I need to look into it and find something else if they don't make it anymore.</p> <p>For DD, I'm not sure but I was thinking of trying Honest since we like their other products that we've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1621245 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:12:08 +0000 Springtime 1621245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babyganics for the LO's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1619444 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:54:59 +0000 Jenn23 1619444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently using BabyGanics for J and so far, so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1619412 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:46:31 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1619412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CA Baby for LO (I sampled the Badger one everyone rec'd last year, but I didn't like the feel). Coppertone Sport lotion for me. I avoid sprays unless I'm desperate. I know Coppertone is not great on the chemical list, but I like how it feels, not oily and it doesn't bother my skin. I've just started using Clinique on my face and really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1619202 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:55:40 +0000 Elderberrygin 1619202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ThinkBaby Thinksport 50+. We've been using it in the pool the last few weekends and I've been pretty happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1619135 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:37:22 +0000 cheert16 1619135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Aveeno and California Baby on LO. DH and I use up and up spray. But I love sunscreens that smell like the tropics- so sometimes I will splurge on that for myself!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1619120 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:33:46 +0000 sumer08 1619120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Think Baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1616976 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:16:35 +0000 Torchwood 1616976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure of the brand, but we don't use typical commercial brands. We use mineral ones, organic, you know, crunchy. :) We're going to try a new one when our current one runs out though. Current one doesn't have a smell I like, and it's got a weird texture. That might be typical of this type though, in which case I'll have to get over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer/page/2#post-1616974 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:16:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1616974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year after research I got thinkbaby sunscreen. I was happy with it so plan to get the same for LO this year. Probably ocean potion for DH and I . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1616942 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:07:40 +0000 sandy 1616942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO we use Mustela brand sunscreen. It's super thick and kind of hard to blend but I like that bc I can see where she has it and where I need to put more on. It's SPF 50</p> <p>I bought some spray stuff from Costco - I think it was Neutrogena and it really irritated LO's face so that's what I'll be using. I love Neutrogena dry touch sunscreen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1616832 Tue, 06 May 2014 14:40:29 +0000 mrskc 1616832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought some Coppertone spray sunscreen for DS. Figured the spray will be quicker and easier. I have Thinkbaby for his face... although might need something else. We were at the splash park and I saw it starting to run down his face and I think it was getting in his eyes. </p> <p>I have Neutrogena dry touch for my face and I use Coppertone oil free for the rest of my body. </p> <p>@blackbird: The neutrogena dry touch is my favorite sunscreen! I don't like the really high spf one of that kind tho. It's soooo thick. I just use the 45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1616800 Tue, 06 May 2014 14:34:27 +0000 ALV91711 1616800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coppertone for DS, that was all that was at Walmart. I don't know what for ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1616758 Tue, 06 May 2014 14:28:36 +0000 Ginabean3 1616758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: lol, yeah it's $$$. I bought it on Drugstore.com when they had a sale. Totally worth it though....I have put it on everyday for the past month with no complaints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1616002 Tue, 06 May 2014 11:09:04 +0000 Boheme 1616002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I didn't my first year, and I thought I was gonna have that godawful red Speedo tanline forever.

Fail. Just bought some blue lizard, though! I had no idea australia had such strict requirements!</p> <p>also: i bumped my other post about the sun in mexico...coolibar stuff is 10% off and free shipping (usually $9+) with the code mom14.

Its what I used when I was a lifeguard, so I will try to find some for LO. I might pick up a couple different kinds because I am sooooo picky about thick, greasy sunscreen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615898 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:39:01 +0000 blackbird 1615898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining, fabulous, I'll check it out next time I'm at one of those stores! We were just at a grocery store last time, so selection was limited. </p> <p>@ginabean3, that awesome, eh? It's like...almost $40, LOL They sell it at Ulta so I'll have to go sample it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615860 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:27:15 +0000 mrsjazz 1615860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alba for LO and Aveeno for me. I'm still not completely happy with our options for LO, we still haven't found one that dries completely clear on brown skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615857 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:26:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1615857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BabyGanics and Nivea Sun Kids Swim &amp; Play </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615856 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:26:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 1615856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been using Neutrogena Pure &amp; Free for LO, but am switching to BurnOut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615854 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:26:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 1615854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: They have it in both lotion (which is totally non-greasy, it feels like any regular lotion that soaks into your skin nicely) and spray at Walgreens, CVS and grocery stores around here; and BJs too. Of course, I live in the land of the uber-pale, so we probably get more options than other places :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sunblock-will-you-be-using-on-your-kiddos-and-yourself-this-summer#post-1615850 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:25:26 +0000 Smurfette 1615850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coppertone for R since it was all Wal-Mart. </p> <p>I use the spray stuff, usually Up &amp; Up since it is cheapest.
