Aveeno Kids Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 — 3 fl oz, Tear- and Sweat-Resistant for Sensitive Skin

Aveeno Kids Continuous Protection Zinc Oxide Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a mineral-based, tear- and sweat-resistant formula designed to protect children's sensitive skin from UVA and UVB rays without oxybenzone or fragrances.

Keep little ones shielded during outdoor play with a pediatrician- and dermatologist-recommended mineral sunscreen that blends 100% naturally sourced zinc oxide with soothing oat extract. This travel-ready 3 fl oz lotion is formulated for delicate skin: it spreads easily, locks in moisture without stinging eyes, and resists water and sweat for up to 80 minutes. Use it on face and body, applying 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying regularly to maintain continuous coverage.

How does this sunscreen protect my child from sun damage?

The lotion uses 100% naturally sourced zinc oxide as its active ingredient to provide broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide sits on the skin and physically reflects and scatters sunlight, offering reliable mineral protection without chemical absorbers like oxybenzone.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 shields from both UVA and UVB radiation.
• 100% zinc oxide active ingredient for mineral-based protection.
• Oxybenzone-free formulation reduces exposure to certain chemical filters.
• Suitable for daily outdoor activities on face and body.

Is this formula gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes — Aveeno Kids Continuous Protection is formulated specifically for sensitive skin. The lotion is hypoallergenic, free of parabens and fragrance, and includes oat extract to help maintain skin’s comfort and moisture without causing stinging.

• Tear-free and non-greasy texture to avoid eye irritation during application.
• Fragrance-free and paraben-free to lower the risk of irritation.
• Oat-derived ingredients help soothe and support the skin barrier.
• Pediatrician- and dermatologist-recommended brand backing.

How should I apply and reapply this sunscreen for continuous coverage?

Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure to ensure the mineral filters form an even protective layer. For water-based or sweaty activities, reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or vigorous sweating, immediately after towel-drying, and at least every two hours during extended outdoor exposure.

• Apply liberally to all exposed skin 15 minutes before going outdoors.
• Reapply after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating.
• Reapply immediately after towel drying and at least every two hours.
• Use the full travel-size 3 fl oz bottle for short outings or as a carry-on essential.

What makes this convenient for families on the go?

The compact 3 fl oz tube is TSA-friendly and fits easily into backpacks, diaper bags, or beach totes for quick touch-ups. Its non-greasy finish and easy-spread lotion texture mean faster application on squirming children, and the water-resistant claim supports active play and swimming.

• 3 fl oz travel-size bottle fits in bags and carry-ons.
• Non-greasy feel promotes fast, even application on kids.
• Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes of activity.
• Designed for both face and body to simplify routines.

Who is this for: Parents and caregivers seeking a pediatrician- and dermatologist-endorsed mineral sunscreen for children with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
