Waxhead Baby Sunscreen SPF 35 - Tear-Free 25% Zinc Oxide Kids Mineral, 4 oz

For zinc sunscreen, I found this to leave a little less mess behind than others I’ve used. Mind you, it’s still messy. I absolutely love the very limited amount of ingredients in this product and my toddler’s sensitive skin didn’t at all react. We were on the Gulf Coast of the US for a beach trip, and it was windy; no worries about losing a spray sunscreen to the wind! It’s also a little closer to the equator and therefore easier to roast under the sun, but I was so happy that he didn’t. Granted, I reapplied faithfully every 90 minutes, and we had a sunshade. He also wore a hat and rash guard. But everything exposed didn’t burn. This stays on really well in the water. The only issue is if a suit strap or rash guard rubs against it, or you have a spot where a repetitive motion is occurring (like the crook of your arm/top of forearm while building a sand castle), you’ll lose sunblock from this area sooner simply because it’s being rubbed off. The good thing is, because this is zinc, you can see those areas getting exposed and reapply accordingly. The same thing happens with all sunscreen, but I never thought about it quite so much until confronted with a visual. Bottom line is, this is the only thing I will put on my child for extended outdoor play, and I felt very confident in its performance and the ingredients.The one thing that bothers me is that I could discern no difference between the “regular” sunscreen and the “kids” version; I purchased both. As an environmentally conscious company, I think it would make more sense to market them as one “All-family” sunscreen in a bigger bottle; it would have spared the environment the additional plastic tube, plus it’s easier to do a run of one product than change your packaging setup for two (yes, I work in consumer packaged goods). I know it’s sometimes more profitable in the short term to sell “kids” and “adults” products because you get the consumer to buy both, but when you have something that’s this safe and actually works on every member of the family...I’d lean into that. It’s a better story and ultimately, better for the planet. I hope to see them evolve!

My son has very sensitive skin, doesn’t have eczema. However, for eczema products tend to be the only things that don’t break him out. After trying a couple different “kid/sensitive skin” products, nothing was working. He would be covered in a fine rash every time. I bit the bullet & bought this stuff due to the minimal ingredients. It has been amazing! He doesn’t break out, the coverage is awesome, & he has yet to burn. A little goes A LONGGGGGG way!! Especially on a tiny body. I usually do a pea sized amount at a time to be sure I don’t get too much. It does take a minute to work it on & definitely knead the bottle before using. But that is nothing compared to the peace of mind I have knowing he’s not having a reaction & is well covered.

It’s white when you’re rubbing on (obviously) but turns clear when it’s absorbed. I’ve been using it when exposing my baby to any sunlight for months now and he’s never gotten burnt. His skin doesn’t react either. Would purchase again when I run out.

This has great ingredients and I will probably finish out my bottle of this and the stick but, it does get white stuff everywhereeeeee and it is hard to clean especially if you are driving in a car. You can't not touch anything...I even rubbed it in for minutes at a time with gloves on and an hour later, new white lines show up in your skin. Kind of annoying, especially as a dog walker in Texas but, I'm holding out for something better. This stuff does work, just be very aware of the gross ghost you'll be and don't touch anything, anywhere, for any reason whatsoever.

I have ultra sensative skin, I have several autoimmune diseases and have a poor reaction to the sun. I have tried various sunblock but they've all caused extreme itchiness. After research, I found Wax Head and they process the zinc oxide differently than other companies, I tried it and NO ITCH - NO BURNING! They do offer several types, some tinted if you don't want the white haze. I truly believe in this product and highly recommend! And remember with all sunscreen, reapply reapply reapply!

We recently found Waxhead and brought a selection of their products for our annual beach vacation. Turns out, we LOVE this stuff! It's safe and effective. The zinc sunscreen is white and will turn you white, BUT rub it in good and it does lessen the white factor. Would rather be stylin' with white tint than suffering with burnt skin. It's a bonus that this sunscreen is safe for the environment and for baby/kids/grandma etc. We all used this sunscreen and were very pleased. Also, love supporting a small business that cares and is doing what they can to provide a product that is much needed!

I liked the clean ingredient list. It has not clogged my pores. I feel safer using it than other options.

We wanted to get a physical sunscreen (the kind that stays on the skin and reflect UV rather than get absorbed into the skin) for our one year old. My husband did a ton a research and picked this one. I have used sunscreen all my life and have always used chemical sunscreen (the kind that is absorbed by the skin). This product was a wonderful surprise—if you shake it well and rub some in your palm, it goes on the face without feeling heavy, even compared to expensive physics sunscreens I bought for myself. Also, it can be rubbed in so that it doesn’t look like I am wearing sunscreen, even though I have a medium complexion. Our baby doesn’t complain at all when we put it on her, and it doesn’t cause her any discomfort (she wouldn’t hesitate to let us know). The seller sends a helpful video on applying the sunscreen. We have used this every day before taking our baby out and feel good knowing her skin is protected. I am switching over to this sunscreen for myself, too.
