Most parents are pretty good about using sunscreen on their kids, both because they want to avoid the future damage the sun can do and because they don’t want their kids to suffer with sunburn. The good news is that adult sunscreen is usually just as effective as kids’ brands and less costly.
The following are a few guidelines to follow in choosing the right content in the sunscreen for your children:
An SPF of 15-30 or higher
Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection
Water resistant
Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and PABA-free
