8 Best Sunscreens for Kids and Babies 2022

A favorite of the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Executive Technical Director (and mother of three!) Rachel Rothman, this Babyganics sunscreen is very transparent about what’s inside — the labels are easy to read and they clearly state which active ingredients are used. Its plant-derived ingredients include a unique blend of tomato, sunflower, cranberry, black cumin, and raspberry seed oils.

Our lab analysts have noted Babo Botancials’ offerings in previous tests for our best sunscreen rankings, particularly for its budget-friendly price while incorporating numerous high-quality ingredients. The organic shea butter and coconut oil base of this lotion is formulated with FDA-approved active zinc oxide and dries supremely (especially for little ones who like to splash and play in water!). Both current reviewers and feedback established in related GH lab tests indicated that Babo Botanicals’ thick, luxe lotion doesn’t easily rub off on fabrics but is easy to rinse off when necessary.
