Can Babies Wear Sunscreen?The most frequently asked question we receive is whether sunscreen is safe for infants under 6 months old. The short answer is: sometimes The long answer is: that there is currently limited research on the safety of sunscreen on infants below 6 months of age. The general recommendation is that infants (<6 months) should be kept out of direct sunlight and be covered with protective clothing to avoid sunburns. However, this recommendation comes primarily from the fact that infants overheat easily and applying sunscreen could potentially result in greater sun exposure, or greater risk of overheating. Another reason for this recommendation is due to infants’ delicate skin being more vulnerable to chemicals. Yet, Safe4Kidz sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide, a natural physical UV filter that is not absorbed by our bodies. Zinc oxide considered safe for infants, and is even present at up to 40% in nappy creams. So, if there is a situation where other methods of sun protection are not available the safest option for your baby is our gentle product which uses 100% organic, 100% vegan and chemical-filter-free ingredients.
