Believing nature holds the secret to human health, two American brothers, Sidney and Albert Musher began studying the benefits of oat in 1945. Oat was an ingredient used in skincare since ancient times for its ability to soothe and nourish the skin. The brothers discovered the powers of finely milled colloidal oatmeal to manage dry skin conditions. The famous Mayo Clinic dermatologists recognised their pioneering work and the AVEENO® brand was born. As a general rule of thumb, I recommend that parents speak to their pediatrician before starting to use sunscreen on infants less than six months of age as it's not generally recommended,” says Dr. Day. Dr. Stephens agrees and adds, “This is because their skin is very delicate and sensitive, and they are more susceptible to irritation and allergic reactions.”
For this article, she worked closely with Beauty Lab Senior Chemist Sabina Wizemann, who has touched, researched, tested and evaluated thousands of products for almost a decade. She carried out various studies from sunscreens (including formulas for sensitive and oily skin and mineral types) and more. She also lends a hand when it comes to explaining skincare ingredients and verifies product claims. The AAD recommends that all children wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. There is a myth that claims children with darker skin do not need to wear sunscreen. While darker skin has more sun-protective melanin, it can get painfully sunburned, too. Keep babies younger than 6 months old out of the direct sun. How much sunscreen do I need to apply? SPF 30 or higher: "Always look for a sun protection factor of at least SPF 30," says Dr. Yadav. The AAD also suggests SPF 30 for the best protection. For even more peace of mind, the GH Beauty Lab recommends looking for SPF 50.While most sunscreen ingredients are either considered generally safe or are undergoing further research, you should try to avoid sunscreens with the ingredient oxybenzone. This chemical may have hormonal properties, says the AAP. Sunscreen type If you’re a parent who doesn’t want to spend money on yet another specific baby product, rest assured: “There are more similarities than differences,” says Dr. Stephens. That said, there are some key differences to note:
Mineral sunscreens, which contain active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are the most highly recommended for children as they are less irritating for sensitive skin. Reef-damaging ingredients: Oxybenzone and octinoxate are two common ingredients found in chemical sunscreens that are highly toxic to ocean life and products containing the two ingredients are banned in many places in an effort to preserve coral reefs. However, there are other ingredients in sunscreens including homosalate, octocrylene, and avobenzone that are believed to also be dangerous for the environment. Ingredients: Dr. Stephens says that while both kids’ and baby sunscreen are designed to protect delicate children’s skin from harmful UV radiation, baby sunscreens usually contain mineral-based ingredients, while kids’ sunscreens often use chemical ingredients for active bodies. Since then, we’ve published 70 years of clinical evidence supporting the benefits of oat and other natural ingredients. More recently, our research has been instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of the microbiome throughout the human body, at every stage of life. Today, AVEENO® scientists are industry experts on the microbial diversity of both healthy and compromised skin.
By Concern
Look for a SPF level of 30 or higher. “What’s most important when searching for a new sunscreen is the SPF,” says Madfes. “We always want our sunscreens to have an SPF of 30 or higher.” The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) also recommends sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher. Sunscreen is vital to protecting kids’ sensitive skin. Children have extra sensitive skin that’s more susceptible to damage from the sun’s rays and is more likely to be irritated by chemicals.
