Coppertone Water Babies Spf50

Coppertone Water Babies is the most practical choice for families applying sunscreen daily to active kids — $12 for 8 ounces is the best cost-per-ounce in this lineup, and the lotion formula spreads quickly over large surface areas. The SPF 50 formula is 80-minute water resistant, meaning it holds through a pool session before reapplication is needed. The active ingredient is zinc oxide without oxybenzone, meeting the current reef-safe and pediatric-dermatologist-recommendation criteria. The fragrance-free version is available and preferable for sensitive skin. The white cast is moderate — less than Badger due to the lotion emulsion, more than tinted alternatives.
