It may be too early to think about slathering sunblock on ourselves, but not for our babies. There is nothing better, for mom and baby, then going on a long sunny walk.  You both need the Vitamin D (more on that later). Just protect your baby from the rays.

Here is a list of the 5 least toxic and most effective sunblock for babies according to research by The Environmental Working Group:

  1. Soleo/Atlantis Resort Organic chemical free sunscreen SPF 30+
  2. Soleo/Wyland Sunscreen Organic chemical free sunscreen SPF 30+
  3. Soleo Organics Sunscreen Organic chemical free sunscreen SPF 30+
  4. California Baby Sunblock Stick Everyday/year-Round, SPF 30+
  5. California Baby Sunblock Stick No Fragrance, SPF 30+

Visit the Soleo Blog for where to buy and instructional videos.

Brands to stay away from entirely for babies:

  • Aveeno
  • Avon
  • CVS
  • Rite Aid
  • Walgreens

Some brands carry an organic, baby, or less toxic version. Check the full list to find out the rating (0-10) of your product.
