I know we already had this topic, but it took until this week to FINALLY get warm around here! Have you used sunscreen yet? Are you still liking what you had originally bought? I ask this because I bought the Babyganics sunscreen at BRU quite awhile ago, thinking it would be fabulous. I've used it on the girls a couple times now, but yesterday I used a little on my face. NO! My eyes still burn! Not the normal sunscreen kind of burn, but a whole different level of burn. Not using that on the kids again, I feel horrible that I've used it more than once.

So back to square one....what are you liking now that you've had a chance to use it?

I haven't used it yet but I bought California Baby's sunscreen. I know a few people that use it and love it; the only down side is that it's a little pricey comparing some of the others ($19 for a small thing of it at Target).

I bought a little stick of Neutrogena baby sunscreen, which seems to work so far.

I honestly can't remember where it ranked on that site that we shared a while back, but I've got the Aveeno baby SPF 50. I used it today actually. First time this year. I thought about picking up the California Baby stuff (I think I remember it ranking the best from the list), but haven't done that yet.

I was trying to remember that site too..I think Heather posted it.

Yeah, it was me...I'm at my parents right now and I have that site saved to my favorite places on my home computer. I will post it here tomorrow when I get home.

I know California Baby was one of the best ranked on the site. So was Johnson and Johnson sunscreen....thats the one I use. I like it a lot.

I like California Baby, and they do buy 1, get 1 free promos ALL THE TIME at Babies-R-Us, sometimes even on California Baby's website.

I stocked up during their last one, they were $18 a tube (and the tubes are really little) but it works really good. Same with Mustela stuff if you like that.

I'm still trying to convince hubby that even mexican babies need sunscreen. He thinks because he just gets dark, it's not dangerous. Thankfully we haven't really gone anywhere to need it yet.

Yeah, that's so NOT true!!! Everyone needs sunscreen, even if you are black.

I bought her waterbabies when she was 6 months and we are still both using it. I like it a lot, I love the summery sunscreen smell LOL.

We use the Banana Boat for babies in a spray can. It is so easy to apply.

I may have to take advantage of the BRU sale next time they have it. If I bought 2 for the price of one it would probably equal out to what the Johnson's would cost me, I guess. I've only bought one Mustela product but loved it.

I noticed Whole Foods had a couple of the other good sunscreens listed on that site, like Badger, but I didn't get any yet.

OK ... I'm home now .. Here's the link to that web-site.

Find the best sunscreen for you | EWG's 2010 Sunscreen Guide

Here's another really helpful site. It doesn't focus on sunscreens but it explains a lot of the chemicals found in products, including sunscreen. You can scroll down and check out the "CHEMICAL ARCHIVE" on the left of the page. Chemical of the Day - *Today's Chemical - Sodium LaurylSulfoacetate
