What have you all found to be the best sunscreen for a six month old? I'm looking for something natural/non-toxic.

I've heard that you should find sunBLOCK instead of sunScreen. The key ingredients are zinc oxide and/or titanium oxide.
The two types of physical sunblocks that are available are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Both provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and are gentle enough for everyday use. Because these are physical blocking agents and not chemicals, they are especially useful for individuals with sensitive skin, as they rarely cause skin irritation.

We tried California baby, but the smell was horrible. It smells like citronella. Then we had some arbonne that someone gifted us at our shower and it was wonderful and all natural. We actually used it over the summer when LO was only a few months old. It worked really well.

I read that Badger was a good brand last time I researched. I got it for myself and I liked it.

We use Alba Botanica brand.

we used Josie Maran Argan Oil sunblock (or sunscreen, whichever...cant remember.) Its all natural and organic. Not a specific baby brand, but incredibly safe based on my research

Not sure how natural but our dermatologist recommended Mustela mineral for beach, pool, etc. (like, lots of sun exposure!)
