Dr. Sherber recommends mineral sunscreens for children whenever possible since they sit on the skin's surface and reflect UV rays, whereas chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the body and neutralize UV light through a chemical reaction.  This is a truly outstanding sunscreen for children or for adults with super sensitive skin (and for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding) that features 100% mineral broad spectrum protection and added antioxidants for a second layer of defense against UV damage.  With a natural fresh scent, this formula applies easily in a mist - spray onto hands before applying to children's faces! - and is tenacious, providing lasting protection for even for very active kids.  This is a product that we often see purchased in multiples because people love it so much.
