I think that SPF 15 is the lowest they recommend for kids, but it's all about the ingredients in them, if something is better rated safety wise and is a 35 SPF I use that instead, or vice versa.

Not sure why it is not listed here, it should be, but Sweetsation Therapy's Sun'n'Fun baby SPF 30 is the best I've tried so far. And I tried them all, I think.. It smells great, doesn't leave white cast, doesn't sting eyes, protects well and it's chemical-free. Rates 2 on Skin Deep. I would recommend it to all.

The other 2 little ones I look after are fine with it and it didn’t bother me, but it’s not for anyone with sensitive skin.

There are a number of products listed above with Nanoparticle and on my phone call with the EWG this morning, the jury is still out on the complete safety of nanosized Titanium and Zinc.
There is another product listed for Kids that you didn’t list here, KINeSYS Performance Sunscreen. The “greenest” sunscreen on the market.
Please check it out and contact me if you’d like more information.

They are so hit and miss with how they affect kids skin it seems, we stick with the Aubrey’s Green Tea (which is about a 3 on the scale) because it doesn’t give either kid a bad skin reaction.I would have loved to try the Badgers but ouch if you can’t put it on with any breaks in the skin.

I checked those out and was happy to find the Badger one available at the local health food store, until DS started to cry it was burning him and DH confirmed it stung his skin. It was a bunch of oils and zinc oxide, and probably the citrus oil or another one irritated their skin. Especially not good for kids with scratches, as that’s where DS said it hurt the worst.
