- Baby Bum SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion - Mineral UVA/UVB Face and Body Protection for Sensitive Skin - Hawaii 104 Act Compliant (Made without Octinoxate & Oxybenzone) - Travel Size - 3 oz$15.29
Sun Bum Baby Bum, Fragrance Free: zinc oxide 20% as the only active, coconut oil, shea and cocoa butter in the base, and no fragrance on its inactive list. It is preserved with phenoxyethanol, which keeps it out of our top picks.
View - Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Kids SPF 50, 3 fl oz | Face & Body Sunscreen Lotion, Broad Spectrum, UVA/UVB Protection, Water Resistant for 80 Minutes, Fragrance and Tear Free$14.99
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids: zinc oxide 21.6% as the only active, no fragrance on its inactive list. The base leans on silicones and an acrylate copolymer, if that is something you avoid.
