Is the Sun Bum Kids Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 50 worth buying?

Your kid might be fine with it, but ours wasn’t — and eye irritation is a deal-breaker I won’t compromise on. The honest truth is that the best sunscreen for your kid is the one you’ll actually use consistently, reapply on schedule, and that doesn’t turn every application into a negotiation. For us, that’s usually the Neutrogena spray for active days and the Blue Lizard mineral lotion when I want something I feel good about on her skin long-term. Your kid’s skin is different from Rosie’s, so your mileage may genuinely vary — which is why I tried to be upfront about what worked for us and what didn’t, rather than just listing whatever had the most Amazon stars. One piece of dad advice I wish someone had told me earlier: put the sunscreen on before you leave the house, not in the parking lot of wherever you’re going. You’ll have more time, less chaos, and better coverage. Ten minutes of lead time at home is worth thirty minutes of regret later. If you’ve found a sunscreen your kid actually tolerates — maybe even likes — drop it in the comments. We’re always looking for our next test subject.
