Beyond the listing
A parent used this sunscreen on their 6-week-old baby multiple times, including during extended sun exposure, and was very impressed with its effectiveness—the baby showed no sunburn even during 2 hours in the pool. They appreciated that it feels like lotion rather than sticky sunscreen, smells natural and pleasant, and is cruelty-free and EWG-rated.
