I have a very fair little one and we spent several days in the hot Orlando sun (100F +), on black asphalt, all day long, and not even a little pink. Same for her fair skinned daddy. It can be purchased at drugstore.com and Buy Buy Baby (use your current Bed Bath and Beyond coupons)for discounted prices. And it is WELL WORTH the initial cost, because you don't need to reapply (if applied correctly the first time) like the cheaper brands. So the "less expensive" brands really aren't less expensive in the long run. Plus, it's safe! I recommend using it on baby/child only, if you can't afford it for the entire family.

I found one that was a 4 that met all those criteria. Very pleased to be informed and able to pick the "best" out of what we need. Thanks again!

So after a crisis moment with them about two years ago I've decided to live a fairly normal life in regards to these types of products, while being educated about SIMPLE ways that I can make SLIGHT improvements to my choices. <br /><br />There are a few on the "easy to find" list on their shoppers guide which are name brand and affordable...I think I'll stick to those. Improvement without excess. <br /><br />Plus, sites like EWG have to make money just like all reporting agencies, so....

Calvin had a reaction to a name brand sunscreen, so now I am looking into them. I had never really worried about it before. Now I am overwhelmed. Is this one of those things to just let go and assume that the known effects of skin cancer are worse than the unproven effects of sunscreens? As much as we use it with the pool, we can't afford the expensive stuff. So what are you buying? Calvin had a reaction to a name brand sunscreen, so now I am looking into them.
