SPF 50 Kids Mineral Sunscreen Butter Stick, 2.75 oz

Any parent knows the real test of a kids' sunscreen isn't the lab - it's the squirming, the sand, and the five-minute window before everyone runs back to the water. The best formula in the world doesn't help if it never makes it onto the kid.

So we made one little hands can manage. Our SPF 50 Kids Butter Stick is a wide-mouth, twist-up stick - half butter, half stick - that glides onto faces, ears, and shoulders with almost no mess.

Why a butter stick wins with kids

A stick skips the squeeze-and-rub routine that turns into a wrestling match. This one is made with 25% non-nano zinc oxide and organic chamomile chosen for sensitive skin, and it's water-resistant for 80 minutes. Lather it on thick to stay visible (handy for spotting missed patches), or rub it in to go clear - either way, kids are covered.

What's inside

25% non-nano zinc oxide the mineral that physically blocks UVA and UVB rays
Organic chamomile chosen to suit delicate, sensitive skin
Organic calendula & beeswax condition skin and add water-resistant staying power
Organic coconut & jojoba oils keep the stick hydrating and easy to blend

How to make it part of your day

Hand it to kids for hands-on application at camp or the playground. In cooler weather, warm the stick on the back of a hand first so it glides. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming, sweating, or full-tilt play.

The bottom line

It's reef-friendly, oxybenzone-free, and made in the USA in plastic-free packaging - peace of mind for parents, an easy yes for kids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it gentle enough for kids and sensitive skin?

It's made with 25% non-nano zinc oxide and organic chamomile chosen for delicate skin, and it's oxybenzone-free. As with any sunscreen on little ones, test a small amount first.

Why does it leave a white cast, and how do I apply it?

Zinc sits on top of the skin, so a light cast is normal - handy for spotting any missed patches. Lather it on thick to stay visible, or rub it in to go clear. In cooler weather, warm the stick on the back of a hand first so it glides.

How long is it water-resistant, and how often do I reapply?

It's water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Reapply after swimming, sweating, or that long, then every couple of hours in the sun.

Is it reef-friendly?

Yes - non-nano zinc oxide, no oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other ingredients of concern for coral reefs.
