Which kind of sunscreen should I use

Choose a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide as the active ingredient. 1

• Form: Choose a lotion or cream; avoid mineral sunscreen powders. 2
• Chemical sunscreens: Some ingredients have raised concerns about absorption and possible endocrine effects; avoid chemical sunscreens on children under six months. 3
• Feel and consistency: Mineral products can be thick or pasty, so pick one you find comfortable enough to use consistently. 4
• Additional protection: Use shade, hats, and protective clothing as well. 5
