Non Toxic Baby Sunscreen Ingredient Details

25% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Our baby sunscreen's ingredient, non-nano zinc oxide, is a powerful shield against harmful UV rays. It absorbs and scatters UV energy, protecting your skin from penetration and cell damage. With its broad spectrum UVA/UVB reflection, this FDA-approved ingredient offers the highest level of protection, even for infants under 6 months old. We use non-nano, uncoated, French process Zinc Oxide as our sole active sunscreen ingredient. Feel confident knowing our sunscreen contains the highest concentration of non-nano zinc oxide among all brands.

Spring Water

We believe in our ingredients' purity, which starts with the water we use. Our sunscreen incorporates Eldorado Springs artesian water sourced from a pristine location. This pure water, untouched by chemicals, supports healthier skin. Its natural filtration through rock and clay layers maintains its purity and provides a refreshing base for our sunscreen. Experience the difference that purer water can make for your skin.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our organic extra virgin olive oil nourishes and moisturizes your skin and contributes to its elasticity. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, this oil protects your skin from premature aging and UV radiation. It penetrates deeply, cleansing without clogging pores, and leaves your skin smooth and supple. Embrace the natural goodness of olive oil for healthy and radiant skin.

Organic Beeswax

Beeswax is a top-notch moisturizer that works wonders on rough, dry, or chapped skin. It forms a protective barrier, sealing moisture and aiding cellular reconstruction. With its non-comedogenic properties, beeswax keeps your pores clear while offering antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits. We source our beeswax from non-GMO, certified organic suppliers, ensuring the highest quality and purity for your skincare routine.

Vitamin E

Our sunscreen contains the skin-loving power of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant known for its healing properties. This fat-soluble nutrient defends against oxidative stress, improves skin elasticity, and prevents signs of aging such as wrinkles, age spots, and blemishes. Vitamin E also aids in healing scars and burns, promoting new skin cell growth and restoring a healthy complexion. Experience the nourishing benefits of certified organic, non-GMO vitamin E oil.

Vitamin D

Did you know that vitamin D plays a vital role in skin health? Our sunscreen incorporates natural vitamin D3, which provides numerous benefits. Topical application allows this critical hormone to nourish and protect your skin directly. It aids in wound healing, defends against infections, and can improve conditions like psoriasis, acne, and eczema. Vitamin D also boosts skin elasticity and stimulates collagen production, giving you a youthful and radiant glow. We use only natural vitamin D3 (never synthetic). Enjoy the benefits of natural vitamin D3 in every application.

Embrace the power of these carefully selected ingredients that have been trusted for centuries. Experience the difference our holistic science and traditional elements can make in restoring your skin's healthy relationship with the sun.

Baby Sunscreen Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sunscreen make my skin white?

Yes, some. When appropriately used, zinc oxide gives skin a visible whitish hue. The ability to see the sunscreen on the skin benefits parents as they need to know where the skin is protected and where to apply it.

When will this baby sunscreen expire?

Technically 3 years from purchase, but the useful life of our sunscreens has no practical limit since our active ingredient, zinc oxide, is a mineral and does not lose its sunscreen capabilities over time, EVER. However, the FDA requires all sunscreen products to list a 3-year shelf life (mainly because petrochemical active ingredients in common sunscreens degrade quickly, even on the shelf). Regardless, if you ever feel a Waxhead product has spoiled, just let us know, and we'll send you a free replacement.

How to apply Waxhead Baby Sunscreen

Thick and tough, our sunscreen takes some effort to apply, but a little goes a long way. You can see exactly where you’re using it, and once on, it delivers the safest, most effective, most eco-friendly sun defense available anywhere.

Step 1: Knead the tube to mix

Our sunscreens lack chemicals to keep ingredients homogenized, so some water may squirt from tube varieties before the thicker cream appears. This is OK, and there’s nothing wrong with your sunscreen. Just close the lid and knead the tube, which should reduce (but not totally prevent) any water separation.

Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto the skin in sections

Put sunscreen on your fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the body.

Step 3: Spread out over one area at a time

Once a section is dotted, spread and thin into an almost invisible layer across your skin.

Step 4: Rub in to reduce whiteness

After you’ve spread out the sunscreen, you can further rub in the cream to a thinner coverage, almost eliminating the white color on your skin. Our sunscreen will not fully absorb into the skin like chemical sunscreens.
