I've been using cream (episencial or california baby), but man it is a lot of work to slather head to toe on two kids a couple times a day! So I just bought some Badger stick sunscreen, and some babyganics spray sunscreen. I'll use the stick for the face and the spray for the body. They'll be especially good for touch-ups throughout the day.
What do you use?

I used cream, and I hated the application and the removal, to be honest. I was using a mineral based one and there was a lot of residue.
I think I'll try the babyganics spray...does it go on clear or white? How is it to remove?

@looch: i just ordered it so it hasn't arrived yet. Will let you know when it does, but I think it goes on white.
@Andrea: i looove the wipes but they are so pricey, esp with two kids. we're also out a lot and in the water so we need to do touch ups.

@Mrs. Bee: yes, please do! I want to use the mineral sunscreens, but I am leaning towards the convenience of the chemical ones, which is a last resort! I'll try anything!

@Mrs. Bee: I'll probably go the cheaper route once I have another kid. But for now...laziness wins out!

We use Badger cream, and yikes, that stuff is HARD to get out of clothing. I'm guessing that's the case for all mineral sunscreens, though...
I'm curious about the babyganics spray, too. I've been avoiding spray sunscreen due to the EWG's warnings about aerosol sprays. I wonder if the inhalation risks decrease significantly with a pump spray like the one on the babyganics bottle...

We use spray because DD is way too impatient for cream.
In other news, where do you get wipes?! Wipes are a brilliant idea!

We have a California Baby stick that I use on her face and the Episencials cream for the rest of her body. I actually find the stick a bit harder to use, but I like that there's less chance of her sticking her hands in it or accidentally licking it or something. The non-chemically lotions are definitely more work to rub in!
