Shield your baby’s skin with these must-have sunscreens

This year April summer is brutal. Blazing heat dissuades one to step out in the sun. With sunglasses, caps and sunscreens, you are pretty much armed to face the feverish sun. Talking about sunscreens for babies, you must have pondered which one to go for. As mothers, we are extra cautious in choosing baby hygiene products so it is best to research in-depth on the sunscreens too before purchasing a product.
A baby’s skin is very delicate and vulnerable enough to suffer from skin damage and rashes. Any cream or lotion you apply for babies must be tested on their skin to check if they suit them. Sunscreens for babies should be safe, gentle and free from chemicals. Some sunscreens are sticky and layer a white cast on their skin, making the skin greasy to the touch. Also, some sunscreens result in skin rashes and cause itch or irritation in the skin. We checked the safe sunscreens specifically formulated for baby’s skin in our mom community and were surprised with overwhelming responses. If you are looking for safe sunscreen lotions for your babies, these are the ones you should pick. Our mom community roots for these brands.
