Sun Bum Kids Sunscreen didn't pass the eye-irritation test — and that's a hard dealbreaker

Your kid might be fine with Sun Bum Kids Sunscreen, but ours wasn’t — and eye irritation is a dealbreaker I won’t compromise on. The honest truth is the best sunscreen for your kid is the one you’ll actually use consistently and reapply on schedule. For us, that’s Neutrogena spray for active days and Blue Lizard mineral lotion for longer exposure. One lesson I learned the hard way: put sunscreen on before you leave the house, not in the parking lot. Ten minutes of lead time at home is worth thirty minutes of regret later.
