Is this sunscreen reef-safe?
Our sunscreens are compliant with Hawaii’s and other regional regulations on coral reef and marine environment. They do not contain the chemical ingredients banned in those areas like Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. However, “Reef-Safe” is an unregulated statement. While our products technically “qualify”, you can learn more on here about why we have decided to no longer make this statement.
-
Is this sunscreen non-nano?
Our sunscreens are non-nano by the definition of the European regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. However “Non-Nano” is an unregulated statement in the Unites States, which is why we have decided to no longer make this statement. Our sunscreens are independently tested for effectiveness and safety under dermatological and pediatric supervision. They are suitable for all ages, from babies to adults.
-
Can babies use mineral sunscreen?
Absolutely. Many doctors recommend that babies be protected with mineral sunscreen as it sits atop the skin, whereas chemical sunscreen is absorbed into the skin. It is also important to provide proper protection with shade and protective clothing for babies and young children, in addition to using SPF protection.
-
Is this sunscreen intended for face or body?
Our Baby Skin Mineral Sunscreen Spray can be used on both face and body. When applying to face, spray into your palm and apply to face with your hands.
-
At what age can babies start wearing sunscreen?
Babies should not be exposed to the sun intentionally. To protect against incidental exposure, they can start wearing sunscreen when they're over 6 months of age unless otherwise approved by the child’s doctor, according to the FDA. To provide proper sun protection for your baby, aim to keep them out of the sun and use additional sun protection methods, like covering them up with a hat, long pants, and a long-sleeve shirt.
