Does this sunscreen use non-nano zinc oxide?

Does this baby sunscreen protect against both UVA and UVB rays?

Is this sunscreen safe if my baby puts their hands in their mouth?

Yes. We use edible-grade, food-safe ingredients. If a small amount gets licked or chewed on, it won’t harm your baby.

Can I use this sunscreen on my baby’s face?

Yes. The formula is safe for delicate areas like the face, ears, and neck.

What age can I start using this sunscreen on my baby?

Waxhead Baby Sunscreen is safe for newborns, but pediatricians often recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for babies under 6 months and using sunscreen only when shade and protective clothing aren’t possible.

Does this sunscreen work for sensitive skin or eczema-prone babies?

Yes. The formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and made with minimal ingredients, making it gentle for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Will this sunscreen sting my baby’s eyes?

No. Since it’s mineral-based and free of chemical UV filters, it won’t sting if it accidentally runs near the eyes.

Warm a small amount between your hands and spread it thinly over the skin. Because it’s 25% zinc oxide, some whiteness is natural, but blending helps. The visible layer actually shows where your baby is protected.

Where are Waxhead sunscreens made?

Warm it between your fingers before applying. Spread thin, even layers to reduce whiteness. For a more natural look, try Waxhead’s tinted zinc sunscreen versions.

Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide to sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and convert UV to heat, which can irritate sensitive or baby skin. Mineral formulas are safer and gentler.

Before 6 months, focus on shade and protective clothing. If unavoidable sun exposure occurs, apply baby mineral sunscreen zinc oxide on limited areas like cheeks, nose, and hands—with pediatrician approval.

Is this safe during pregnancy and nursing?

Completely safe. This non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen has no hormone-disrupting chemicals. OB-GYNs recommend it for pregnancy and nursing skincare.

Will this cause breakouts or clog pores?

No. It’s a non-comedogenic mineral sunblock with breathable natural oils and waxes. Zinc oxide helps calm breakouts and reduce irritation.

How is this different from chemical sunscreens?

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and can sting or irritate skin. Baby mineral sunscreen zinc oxide reflects UV rays instead, creating a physical barrier. It’s safer, gentler, and ideal for sensitive, eczema-prone, or baby skin.

Helpful links

Made for sensitive skin

Many baby sunscreens still include long ingredient lists, synthetic stabilizers, fragrance, or chemical UV filters. This formula keeps things simple. It is built around mineral protection, skin-barrier support, and visible coverage, which makes it a strong choice for families dealing with sunscreen sensitivity, dryness, eczema-prone skin, or repeated irritation from conventional formulas.

How it feels on skin

This is not an invisible gel sunscreen. It is a mineral cream with a protective feel and a visible zinc layer. Use small dots, spread thin, and rub gently. The finish becomes softer as it warms on the skin, while still leaving enough visibility to help track coverage.
