I was putting together a post about the cutest swimsuits for little ones filled with swim suits that cover from the sun without sacrificing on the cute, when I came across a summer ’16 article on sunscreen. It listed all the best/safest sunscreens* and a list of the worst. Since I have owned a few sunscreens from the worst list (they may even be in my cabinet now), I wanted to make sure I included a few of the best sunscreens for kids in this post. Cute swim suits are great (and adorable!) but they aren’t the full “sun safe” picture, so let’s start with the best sunscreens since that might be your first layer in the daily summer routine.
