User questions & answers

Question:	Is this for one or two bottles
Answer:	Two bottles. Thanks for asking.
Question:	Is it waterproof
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What’s the expiration date
Answer:	Mine says 11/2020
Question:	How do you clean this off of stuff? It has stained our deck, deck chairs, everything my toddlers touch or sit on! Kids slide, etc
Answer:	We haven't had your exact problem. But I use coconut or sweet almond oil to remove it from my skin. Years of doing laundry makes me think that oxy products, stain removers, or Murphy's Oil Soap might help remove the mineral based products. They're tough. Some soaking may be involved. Hope you'll post when you find what works.
Question:	Does the sunscreen drip in eyes/mouth when swimming/sweating
Answer:	They drip a little. I use them on the kids' body. Not their faces. The bug spray smell terrible. Kids hate it. Otherwise the sunscreen works well and smell fine.
Question:	How long would this pack last for two kids? I want to have enough for 6 months
Answer:	I have two kids under two & it lasted a summer in NYS.
Question:	Is this manufactured in the US
Answer:	Yes it is. In New York.
Question:	Can you use them at the same time
Answer:	Yes!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this stain clothes
Answer:	If you get some right on your clothes or car seat it will leave a white haze, it does wash right off though.
Question:	Is it tear free
Answer:	This sunscreen really burns our eyes, both my children's and my own. I make sure not to get any on their hands, but all it takes is for my toddler to start crying (for whatever reason), she rubs her eyes, and then I'm dealing with several hours of screaming due to her painful and very red eyes. My preschooler says it feels like her eyes are bleeding. I've even gotten it in my own eyes, just from rubbing when I'm tired, and it really does burn.
Question:	The "mineral based" description is deceiving. i know that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are fine but the first ingredient listed is not a mineral
Answer:	I've found that mineral based doesn't always mean only minerals. If you want try Neutrogena pure and free baby sunscreen. It only contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
Question:	Is it sheer or easy to rub in a proper dose
Answer:	It's pretty thick and difficult to rub in.

Product description

Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen was the first sunscreen to pass Whole Foods Premium Care requirements, and has held the highest rating in EWG's database since 2010 with a “1” rating. As a company, Thinkbaby targets products containing questionable ingredients and develops safer alternatives. We led the movement from BPA, with the 1st BPA-free baby bottle (2006) to the 1st insulated BPA-free sports bottle (2006). We brought the same focus to developing body care and sun care products. None of our products have ever contained avobenzone, oxybenzone, parabens, phthalates, PABA, or 1,4 dioxane, to name a few of the chemicals of concern.



At SPF 50+ with broad-spectrum protection for UVA and UVB, and the highest water resistance allowed by the FDA, you can expect a highly effective solution for your littles and whole family. We are strictly against the use of aerosols due to inhalation concerns to the effectiveness and safety for users and the environment. Our mineral based (zinc oxide) formulations go on smooth and absorb easily without leaving you feeling sticky or goopy.



Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen has received a large amount of awards and has been featured in a tremendous number of publications including: Allure, Martha Stewart, New York Times, POPSUGAR, Travel & Leisure, The Bump, FoodBabe, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Natural Child, Whole Living, FitPregnancy, Baby List, Pregnancy & Newborn, and Parents to name a few.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this leave a white residue
Answer:	If you don’t rub it in there will be streaks. It’s not thick like zinc oxide but it’s thicker than other sunscreens I’ve used. It doesn’t take a lot to rub in. It really works well and it has a nice, super soft scent.
Question:	So do we need to worry about if this is real ThinkBaby or not? I see one of the reviews, but from 2015, saying its not the real stuff
Answer:	It seems to be the real stuff. I've purchased it on amazon and at another retailer and noticed no difference.
Question:	Is it not BPA free
Answer:	It is BPA free. If they show the back of the product, it is in the description at the top.
Question:	Is this product tearless
Answer:	It does not say tearless. And I have never accidently rubbed it in my kids eyes so I am not sure. It is pretty thick so easy to control it not running into their eyes.

Our Story

With a team of physicians & scientists, Thinkbaby & Thinksport lead in the usage of safe materials for consumer products. We don’t wait for materials to make headlines in order to make a change. We continue to expand our products to offer alternatives to existing products on the market. Our efforts are energized by working with leading child advocacy partners & like-minded individuals seeking alternative products. We approach each product with the same criteria: safe, functional, & sustainable.

UVA & UVB Broad-Spectrum

Consumers have been led to believe that ultra-high SPF numbers like 70 and 100 provide much more protection than SPF 30. This is False. SPF 30 provides 97% protection from UVB and SPF 100 provides 99% coverage for UVB. We tell folks if you look at the back of the tube and you see a bunch of words you don’t recognize, you probably don’t want to put that on your skin. It is important that you’re using a truly Broad-spectrum formula that covers UVA and UVB.

Mineral Based Formula

Chemical sunscreens make up the majority of the market unfortunately. They are both cheap and apply clear. Mineral based solutions can cause some amount of whitening during use and are also more expensive. But at what cost is it cheaper. Some mineral base formulations have also taken to using clear zinc or nano particle sized zinc or titanium. We recommend sourcing a non-nano zinc oxide solution. There is just not enough data on the ability for nano particles getting into the blood stream. As such, it is better to embrace the Precautionary principle.

Water Resistant

There are now three levels of water resistance. Not water resistant, water resistant (40 minutes) and water resistant (80 minutes). We have all become used to seeing words like sweatproof or waterproof. There are now very specific tests. Keep in mind, that if you’re at the beach or pool that you’ll need to reapply after being in the water. And to achieve the SPF factor of your sunscreen you have to reapply every two hours. One application does not keep you at SPF 50 or whatever is on the sunscreen label. And you should be using about 1oz to cover an adult body.

Tips for Application

1. Be sure to apply all areas that will be exposed to sunlight, including behind the ears, neck, hands, feet, and scalp 15 minutes before sun exposure.
2. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, at least every 2 hours.
3. While the sunscreen applies very easily, we recommend not spreading it too thin. Otherwise you will decrease the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

Why Sunscreen?

The majority of sunscreens currently on the market are full of questionable ingredients and known carcinogens. Simply looking at the ingredients you'll quickly realize you don't recognize any of them. Many existing sunscreens have been brought to market with little concern for their safety. Not only do ingredients in sunscreen interact with skin, but data shows after application of lotions, some of the same chemicals can be detected in the bloodstream. Most people wear sunscreen to reduce the chance of developing cancer, so why apply something that could potentially increase this risk? This question has unfortunately left many people moving away from using sunscreen at all.

Chemical Policy

Thinkbaby & Thinksport employ the precautionary principle when choosing the materials to work with.

Thinksocial

Since our company's inception, we have been focused on being socially responsible. For us this means:

Create safe products. Have the least impact possible on the environment in the creation, packaging, usage, and disposal of product possible. Connect to non-profit organizations engaged in activities that help the world become a safer, healthier place.

We came up with Thinksocial as a way to empower consumers to choose which non-profits they feel most connected to and want to monetarily support. We call it the democratization of social responsibility.

User questions & answers

Question:	What percent of zinc is in this sunblock
Answer:	Mine says zinc oxide 20%
Question:	Does this go on white or clear
Answer:	It has a white tint, but rubs in much more quickly and easily than other mineral sunscreens I have tried.
Question:	Does the lotion have a scent like coconut oil? I cannot stand coconut oil scent in my body products
Answer:	I can’t remember but the adult SPF 30 kind DOES smell like coconut. I liked it and smelled natural.
Question:	Is this safe for the reefs
Answer:	Not sure, but it is a mineral sunscreen that's hard to apply and leaves a very noticeable white cast. It's also sticky and balls up product. Never buying this ever again.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i apply it on my 1 year old baby's face
Answer:	I believe it will be fine since NO chemicals just mineral zinc & titanium so it won't sting either Great as a primer if you use makeup too since it will block sun rays
Question:	How thick is this sunscreen? Does it leave a white film
Answer:	It's very thin and liquid like. It doesn't leave a film if you rub it in enough, however if you don't, there's definitely a white film.
Question:	can adults use this
Answer:	Yes. I do sometimes. Just a heads up though, it’s fairly thick white because of the zinc oxide. A little difficult to wash off your skin if you put on a thick coat. However that hasn’t stopped me from using it or repurchasing it multiple times.
Question:	is this waterproof
Answer:	It does repel water fairly well due to the thickness of the zinc oxide. I would definitely apply as directed, far in advance of going into the water and reapply once I’m out and dry again.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the shelf life of this suncreen
Answer:	Coppertone products will have a listed expiration date on them. The dates can be found on the base/bottom of the can or stick, or on the shoulder/neck of the can (just below the cap). It can also be found on the back of the bottle or the cap. We suggest tilting the bottle or tube or can under a light as some package codes are white print on yellow and/or embossed into the packaging.
Question:	What is the expire date
Answer:	Tow to three years asually
Question:	does this product stain fabrics
Answer:	Using this on vacation it has left white residue on clothing and bathing suites, especially if I apply it while wearing said items. If you apply the lotion first, let it dry, then get dressed, the issue is not as bad. All the residue washed out when the clothing is cleaned in a washing machine, but it remained "stained" even after being in and out of the pool.
Question:	Does it feel greasy on the skin after applying? Is the smell strong
Answer:	It's a heavy lotion...but not really greasy...it smells like a typical copper tone product.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will one stick last
Answer:	I bought it to put on my white cat's ears. It has lasted a long time.
Question:	What Age Is This For
Answer:	Anybody can use it. I bought it for myself, but found it too difficult to spread, and it looked terrible in my face, so I threw it away.
Question:	so how white will i look if it apply this to my face before work &/or on way home from work??? hate to touch my hands to my face & hands aren't clean
Answer:	I use the regular bottle of liquid sunblock, not the stick. It will soak in within minutes, but the more you put on the longer it will take to soak in. It works just like most sunblocks, but it just doesn't take as much to cover your skin. A little bit goes a long way, so no need to use a bunch. I just use a little pea-size squirt in my palm, rub my hands together, and then rub it in. If you use a small amount first to see how it applies to your skin and then if you need more just add a little at a time.
Question:	Can this be stored at higher temperatures? looking for sunscreen to take backpacking or car camping where i wont have access to a/c
Answer:	Yes, I pack in the hot Caribbean sun.. doesn’t melt and won’t melt off of you. I have to use a paper towel to wipe it off. Lasts for a long time on even wet or sweaty places. It whites out your skin, doesn’t spread on application.

All of our products are created with the support of biologists, pediatricians[1], and dermatologists[2], and are rigorously tested to ensure they're hypoallergenic, gentle, and safe for babies.

Broad-Spectrum UVA/UVB protection

This 100% mineral, non-nano zinc oxide formula works for the whole family.

Instead of risky chemical UV absorbers like oxybenzone and octinoxate (ingredients that can damage reefs and marine life), we use reef-friendly, non-nano zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum protection.

Moisturize and Calm Skin

Wild gooseberry extract helps calm the effects of infrared light, which can heat and irritate baby’s delicate skin—while plant-derived antioxidant bisabolol calms irritation and moisturizes.

Replenishes What They're Born With

Squalene is a moisturizing superhero that all babies are born with, but it depletes over time. Pipette's renewable, sugarcane-derived squalane is a stable version that restores the natural balance of baby’s skin.

A Baby’s Skin Is Different

You already know baby skin is different—one touch of that soft little cheek proves that. It’s also delicate: infant skin is thinner and loses moisture much faster than adult skin.

At birth, infants’ skin has a protective coating called the vernix that’s rich in squalene, a super-moisturizing ingredient that supports newborn skin and prepares it for the outside world. But after the vernix absorbs, babies’ skin can be vulnerable.

So Pipette’s scientists created extra-pure, plant-derived squalane in their labs—it's a more stable version of squalene that baby skin already recognizes.

Caring For Babies’ Skin—And The World They’ll Grow Up In

Pipette is good for the environment, too. The squalane in their baby products is sourced from renewable Brazilian sugarcane that produces an exceptionally sustainable, safe ingredient to nourish and replenish baby’s delicate skin.

From ingredient sourcing to packaging, all of Pipette's products are made as sustainably and ethically as possible—and always cruelty-free and vegan. This stuff matters to Pipette. Because someday these babies will grow up, and Pipette wants them to inherit a healthier planet.

The Strictest Standards, the Safest Ingredients

Pipette takes a No Compromise, science-backed approach to baby care: Pipette bans over 2,000 potentially toxic or irritating ingredients from its formulas, replacing them with the most essential, nourishing, and high-quality ingredients around. No fluff, no fillers, no confusion—if it’s even a little bit suspect, it’s out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this smell like baby powder? Or just sunscreen
Answer:	I'm not sure what baby powder smells like but I'm very sensitive to strong odors(e.g. Walmart's Equate sunscreen)and this stuff doesn't give me any problems even on my face.
Question:	Is it tear free
Answer:	Does sting some if gotten in the eyes.
Question:	what is the expire date of the cream
Answer:	It’s typically about one year after it was manufactured. I don’t know when yours was made so can’t tell you about the expiration of your tube.
Question:	What are the active ingredients
Answer:	There was never any evidence this statement is correct. I read the article about babyganics causing seizures and was worried as well. It’s been proven that this is not the case, thankfully.

User questions & answers

Question:	How to wash after using cerave baby sunscreen
Answer:	I have the same issues with washing off mineral sunscreens. I've been using those mesh poofs and my regular glycerin soap. I can still feel that weird, sort of sticky film after showering. Someone today told me that you have to use an oil based cleanser or even plain coconut oil to dissolve that sunscreen film. Then you wash off with soap. Was gonna try the coconut oil, and hope I don't slip in the tub.
Question:	Is this mineral based
Answer:	Yes it is mineral based. The active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Question:	Why does amazon permit reviews for other cerave products (ie: diaper/nappy rash cream) when i am searching for reviews on this sunscreen
Answer:	I have o idea.
Question:	Is the add on listing just for 1 container of sunscreen
Answer:	Yes the listing is for 1 container of sunscreen.
