Looking to keep your kids safe from the sun this summer? The first thing to look for in a sunscreen is a physical (as opposed to chemical) formula. Safer ingredients include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, while ones to avoid include avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene and ecamsule. See the list below for the Environmental Working Groups for the Best Baby & Kids Sunscreens in 2020. And don’t forget to stock up on sun protective clothing, hats and sunglasses—because covering up means less area to protect!
