Study Finds 14 Most Dangerous Sunscreens For Kids

Nothing can ruin a perfectly good day in the sun quite like a really bad sunburn.

While it’s important to take precautions to prevent sunburns at any age, it’s especially important to get into the habit of using it when you’re young.

Unfortunately, not all sunscreens are created equal — not even close — and here are the 14 worst for children:

1. Banana Boat Kids Continuous Spray Sunscreen SPF 100
2. Banana Boat Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 100
3. Coppertone Foaming Lotion Sunscreen Kids Wacky Foam SPF 70
4. Coppertone Sunscreen Continuous Spray Kids SPF 70
5. Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Kids SPF 70
6. Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Water Babies SPF 70+
7. Coppertone Sunscreen Stick Kids SPF 55
8. Coppertone Sunscreen Stick Water Babies SPF 55
9. Coppertone Sunscreen Water Babies Foaming Lotion SPF 70
10. CVS Health Children’s Sunstick Sunscreen SPF 55
11. Equate Baby Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70
12. Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunscreen SPF 60+
13. Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Sunscreen Spray SPF 70+
14. Up & Up Kids Sunscreen Sticks SPF 55

With many of these products not working anywhere close to how they’re advertised, it’s important to make sure you get a sunscreen that’s not a dud.
