Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion FAQs
How should I use this product?
- Suitable for babies and children over 6 months of age. Under 6 months: ask your doctor.
- For Face & Body.
- Apply liberally before sun exposure.
- Reapply at least every two hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
- Also a great option for adults with very sensitive skin.
CAUTION: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. When using a product for the first time, it is recommended to test it on a small area and monitor for skin reaction during 24 hours before applying to a larger area. If irritation occurs, stop use and contact your physician. Keep out of reach of children.
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.
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.
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.
What does EWG VERIFIEDR sunscreen mean?
EWG VERIFIEDR products are certified as meeting the Environmental Working Group's strict standard for ingredient safety, transparency and product efficacy. The EWG VERIFIEDR program is a registered trademark licensing program that follows a published set of health standards developed by EWG's research team. Verification is more stringent and rigorous than the standards for a positive rating in the EWG Guide to Sunscreens - though a sunscreen must have a green rating in their guide to even be considered for verification.
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.
