Ask about productDescription
- Mineral-Based Formula: The primary active ingredient is Zinc Oxide, which is a physical (or mineral) UV filter. Zinc Oxide sits on the skin’s surface and reflects UV rays, rather than absorbing them. This makes it generally well-tolerated and less likely to cause irritation, especially for delicate skin like a baby’s or child’s. Some versions might also include Titanium Dioxide.
- SPF and PA Rating:
- Many versions of this sunscreen are SPF 20+ and PA+++. This provides good protection against both UVB (sunburn) and UVA (aging and long-term damage) rays.
- It’s important to note that while SPF 20+ is good for general daily use, for extended outdoor play or strong sun, some parents might opt for a higher SPF for their children. However, for kids, it’s more about consistent reapplication than solely high SPF.
- There is also a “Milky Soft Mineral Based Sunscreen” with SPF 30 & PA+++.
- Mamaearth also offers sunscreens with SPF 50 for adults, but the dedicated mineral-based kids’ sunscreen typically has SPF 20+ or SPF 30.
- Nourishing and Soothing Ingredients: Mamaearth typically enriches its kids’ sunscreen with natural ingredients to moisturize and soothe the skin, counteracting any potential dryness from the mineral filters. Common ingredients include:
- Shea Butter & Cocoa Butter: Excellent emollients that provide deep moisturization.
- Calendula Extract: Known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
- Aloe Vera Extract: Helps to calm and hydrate the skin, useful for soothing any existing irritation or sun damage.
- Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Wheatgerm Oil: These natural oils contribute to the moisturizing and nourishing properties.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental damage.
- MadeSafe Certified: Mamaearth emphasizes safety, and many of their baby and kids’ products, including this sunscreen, are “MadeSafe” certified. This certification means the product is tested to be free from potentially harmful toxins.
- Free from Harmful Chemicals: It’s formulated without common irritants and controversial ingredients, including petroleum, mineral oil, alcohol, artificial fragrance, SLS, SLES, parabens, and artificial preservatives.
- Waterproof/Water-Resistant: The sunscreen is designed to be water-resistant (often up to 40 minutes), making it suitable for playtime involving water or sweating.
- Texture and White Cast: As a mineral sunscreen, it can potentially leave a slight white cast, especially if applied thickly. However, many users report that it blends relatively well, and the brand aims to minimize this common mineral sunscreen characteristic. It’s often described as non-greasy and easy to apply.
- Hypoallergenic & Dermatologist Tested: These claims indicate it’s formulated to minimize allergic reactions and has undergone dermatological testing for safety on sensitive skin.
Benefits:
- Effective Sun Protection: Provides a physical barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays for kids’ delicate skin.
- Gentle on Skin: The mineral-based, toxin-free formula is designed to be gentle and non-irritating, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Nourishes and Moisturizes: Helps keep the skin soft, hydrated, and soothed.
- Safe for Daily Use: Its gentle nature makes it appropriate for regular application.
- Water-Resistant: Offers protection during play and light water exposure.
How to Use:
- Apply a generous amount to your child’s face and body, especially on exposed areas, at least 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Gently rub it into the skin in a circular motion until absorbed.
- Reapply every 2 hours, or more frequently if your child is swimming, sweating heavily, or towel-drying.
Packaging:
- Typically comes in a tube or pump bottle, commonly in sizes like 50ml, 80ml, or 100ml.
