Meet our bestselling Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50: a hydrating mineral sunscreen for face and body that's baby SPF, kids sunscreen, and grown-up sun protection all in one. Made with non-nano zinc oxide, our baby sunscreen is safe and effective for the most sensitive skin, but sheer enough for adults.
When can babies wear sunscreen?
Dermatologists and pediatricians recommend using a baby safe sunscreen for babies over 6 months of age. For babies younger than 6 months, experts advise avoiding the sun and using protective sun gear (sun hats, stroller shades, and clothing) instead of applying sunscreen.
What’s the best sunscreen for babies—chemical sunscreen or mineral sunscreen?
Both mineral sunscreen and chemical sunscreen protect skin from harmful UV rays, but they act in different ways. Mineral sunscreens create a protective physical barrier on top of skin that reflects UV rays, whereas chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays into skin and chemically convert them into heat.
If you’re looking for a safe sunscreen for kids and babies, we believe mineral sunscreen is your best bet. Our moisturizing Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is like skincare and sun care in one, and works for the whole family: toddlers, teenagers, grandparents, and everyone in between. Even better, it’s noncomedogenic and won’t clog pores.
What makes Pipette's sun care for kids different?
At the heart of all our products is our sustainable, sugarcane-derived squalane, a moisturizing superhero ingredient. When babies are born, their skin is often covered in the vernix. The vernix is Mother Nature’s best skin protection: It nourishes and supports babies’ skin, keeping it hydrated during their first few hours in the world. It turns out that the vernix is rich in squalene—a version of squalane that our bodies naturally produce. Squalane is literally made to nurture skin, precisely mimicking the substance that brought us safely into the world.
In our kids sunscreen, squalane helps our formula glide on and blend in effortlessly. In our calming, EWG Verified™ After Sun Gel, squalane helps to replenish skin’s essential moisture. You can learn more about squalane's amazing properties here on our blog. All of our sun care is dermatologist tested, pediatrician approved, hypoallergenic, and clinically tested to be gentle and safe for the most delicate skin.
Above all, our team is dedicated to bringing you clean family essentials you can trust. And if we can bring your life a little more support, a little more ease, and a little more space to be yourself, then we've done our job.
