Sunscreen is essential when you spend hours in the sun. You want to use a sunscreen that is free from carcinogens and hormone disruptors. Many believe the sun itself is unhealthy, but that’s not true. The problem is too much sun exposure. That golden tan is actually your body's way of telling you to get out of the sun because you've been exposed too long. This is your natural protection and warning. Still, we love sunbathing with sunscreen on, and that can be unhealthy. The sun itself is something we need, for us and our little ones. When you do apply sunscreen, which one is best for your child? You'll find out here!
Why should I choose mineral sunscreen?
Non-nano mineral sunscreens are the safest option among sunscreensCream. They are free from carcinogenic ingredients and hormone disruptors. They also contain no nano particles. If you pick a pharmacy brand that claims to be free of these, it's wise to also check the rest of the ingredients for synthetic fragrances or other odd components. One doesn’t exclude the other. If you want to order the best sunscreenCream now, you can’t go wrong with Attitude, Naïf, or Shampoobars. These are free of harmful ingredients and are natural. Looking for a sunscreen that’s plastic-free, safe for marine life, and an eco-friendly choice? Then Shampoobars is a great brand. Despite its name, this brand offers personal care products without plastic or harmful substances!

What’s the difference between natural and chemical sunscreen?
It’s important to use the most natural sunscreen possible for your little one. Especially when babies are so young, they absorb more because their skin isn’t fully developed and closed yet. Being well informed is key, so you truly know the difference. We’ll help you with that :)
Chemical sunscreen contains two chemical filters: oxybenzone and octinoxate. These penetrate the skin and absorb UV rays. On the Manlevel, they protect the skin from the sun but can damage it and cause irritation.
Natural sunscreen uses mineral filters that are free from chemicals and sit on top of the skin rather than being absorbed. On the Manlevel, they reflect UV radiation, protecting your skin without harmful effects.
Why choose non-nano sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreens were less popular because they left a white residue. Nanotechnology made particles so small that this white cast disappeared, making sunscreen more effective at blocking UV rays. But nanotechnology isn’t without risks. The particles are so tiny they can penetrate damaged skin and enter the body. To prevent this, these particles are sometimes coated with a protective Si or aluminium oxide layer. However, inhaling these coatings or absorption through the skin can be carcinogenic—something you want to avoid at all costs.
That’s why it’s vital to always check for non-nano. Nano particles are not something you want on or in your body. Better safe than sorry.
Is there a fragrance-free sunscreen for my baby?
You want a safe sunscreen for your baby or child without any perfume or natural scents. Attitude has a product for the most sensitive baby and child skin that can't tolerate natural fragrances. It’s a completely safe sunscreen: Naïf Baby & Kids 0% Perfume Sun Lotion SPF50.
What is the most natural Sunscreen I can use for my baby/child?
Looking for the most natural Sunscreen because you want to make a safe choice? We recommend Attitude’s natural Sunscreen. Why? Because safety comes first. Attitude goes further by independently testing natural ingredients for potential irritation or harm. Attitude Sunly Sunscreen SPF30 Plastic Free.
Is there a paraben-free sunscreen?
This is a common question and it’s great to see people becoming more critical. The sunscreens we sell from Attitude and Naïf are all paraben-free. Parabens are often used to extend the shelf life of cosmetics and personal care products, but despite this benefit, they’re harmful. Something you definitely want to avoid, especially for your little one. Want to learn more about parabens, and the hows and whys? We recommend reading the article Everything you need to know about parabens.
Which sunscreen is eco-friendly and safe for coral reefs?
Maybe you want to go a step further and not only ensure safety for your baby/child but also care for the environment. That’s possible, and you’re not alone. The Team at Attitude also thinks this way—they’ve launched a nano-free, mineral, and natural sunscreen! In fact, all their Sunscreens are nano-free, mineral-based, and natural! So whichever you choose :) This Coral Reef Sunscreen is free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, and benzophenone-3 (BP-3)—exactly what you want. These ingredients are harmful both to us and coral reefs, so avoiding them is a must!
