I am normally a budget buyer, but for this particular item my child prefers this brand. She indicates that it doesn't hurt when applied if she has any scratches on her legs from playing.
I am very upset that this carries Parabens -- and left my entier upper body covered in an itchy/painful rash.
PARABENS cause rashes -- and apparently kids don't respond to Parabens; what happens is the allergy to parabens is created with time. This product is FILLED with parabens - which means repeated uses on kids could develope the Paraben allergy when older. Many products have parabens -- shampoos, face wipes.. In this one it's under "MethylPARABEN","EthylPARABEN", "IsobutylPARABEN", "PropylPARABEN", "ButylPARABEN"..
Google "Paraben problems".
It's a slow movement but many older people are getting hit by itchy, pealing, painful rash that comes with allergies developed over time.
I am 37 years old -- and bought this product due to the absense of any other UVA/UVB sunscreen that was 50+. I didn't check for parabens because I figured it'd be fine; anything that said "peditrician tested" and "for kids" would be excellent on my fair skin. And to this date I did not have a paraben allergy.
3 days later and my whole upper body that I used it on was covered in rashes. I don't respond to parabens in shampoos -- and have heard that older people get really itchy scalps because of those -- but apparently this one caused me to break-out horribly.. and it hurts along with itches!!! Looks like my arms, back, and chest where I used this product are covered in Poison Ivy.
Do your research - Google Parabens and their affects.
Apparently kids don't react because this type of allergy is developed with time -- which means their later years.. And watch-out adults -- it hurts and itches!!! I'm rashy all over -- and angry this product carries parabens.
This is a great sunscreen. It is the only one my sensitive-skinned kids can use without getting a bumpy rash. I wish it came in a higher SPF, but I'm careful to reapply it a couple of times if we're out all day. I highly recommend this sunscreen if others give your kids a rash.
Apply generously and evenly to all areas 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at frequent intervals and after swimming or towel drying. Ask a doctor before use on children under six months of age.
Sun Alert: Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreens may reduce the risks of skin aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects of the sun.
