I have a toddler who rubs her eyes at the pool getting sunscreen from her face into her eyes. Any sunscreen you can recommend that won't sting the eyes?
TIA
I have used Badger and Alba Botanica on my son since he was baby. We've never experienced eye stinging. Badger has a face stick that is awesome. Both brands have been perfect for us. Not that you asked, but Badger also has an insect repellent balm that is super.
** oh my goodness, keep putting it on her face. Don't listen to that!!
I know it's more expensive, but I often by the sticks (Coppertone Baby or some other "baby" version). The feel like chapstick, and you can just rub them on their skin.
The "baby" and "child" formulas (I usually buy Coppertone or Banana Boat) are tear free, and my kids have not had a problem.
You could also try putting on a thin layer and just reapplying more often.
*** Please ignore the advise to not put sunscreen on her face. That is horrible! Faces burn so easily! My nose, forehead, cheeks all burn very easily.
I like the stick kind for kids' faces. It's kind of sticky feeling, but it doesn't run at all, and it's really easy to put on.
Another vote for Badger face stick!

My new favorite natural products company also makes a face stick. I haven't tried it, but I love their regular sunscreen.

We use the spray kind of sunscreen and I agree that if you spray it on your hands and then rub it on their face it won't run. I haven't had any issue with this at all and we go to the pool all. the. time! :)
Don't spray any on her face,put some of it on your hands and rub it on her face.I think every sunscreen will burn the eyes.
Baby Faces by Hawaiian Tropic is the only one I'm know for a fact doesn't burn.
I had the same problem today. I look forward to your responses!
Have her wear a hat.
Don't put it on her face.
