Sunscreens

[scoobymummy]

Any of you have a sunscreen suggestion that I can use for both myself and my kids - it needs to be a high SPF and preferably doesn't run (my eyes tend to water and if the sunscreen runs it hurts like crazy). I'm thinking of buying Badger, but wanted to check here first.

i'm on the lookout too, but from what i researched here on mdc the top recommendations seem to be:

badger
california baby
home-made with zinc stuff found in sunscreens

and i recently found a sunscreen form australia called soleo. you can google it and go to their website. it seems like the best ingredients but its a bit pricey... i'll check back here for other recs!

We use this product from California Baby http://www.californiababy.com/no-fra...on-2-9-oz.html . It works well and doesn't stink.

He starts swim classes this summer and I think I am going to bite the bullet and by the expensive "swim costume" from Sun Precautions. It covers arms and legs and although expensive, should save us some money (and sanity) without having to apply so much sunscreen.

I purchased Badger last year because of the great reviews on EWG as being the safest sunscreen for kids. I love it for the kids, but not for me. It is really hard to rub in and leaves a bit of a while film on your face...I prefer to use something that rubs in easier so I use Alba.
