Does this sunscreen use non-nano zinc oxide?

Yes. Waxhead Baby Sunscreen contains 25% non-nano zinc oxide (uncoated, French-processed) as the sole active ingredient.

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

Yes. Waxhead Baby Sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection, meaning it blocks both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays with 25% non-nano zinc oxide.

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.

Is this sunscreen water-resistant for swimming or sweaty play?

Yes. It is water-resistant and protects during swimming or active play. Reapply after 80 minutes of water activity or sweating, or after towel-drying.

Will this sunscreen stain clothing or car seats?

No. It does not contain dyes or chemical oils that stain fabrics. Any residue will wash out with normal laundering.

What makes this sunscreen safer than chemical sunscreens for babies?

Chemical sunscreens absorb into skin and bloodstreams. Our non-nano zinc oxide sits on top of the skin, reflecting UV rays without entering the body.

How do I apply this sunscreen so it doesn’t look too white on my baby’s skin?

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?

Waxhead sources its ingredients from trusted suppliers (including French-process zinc oxide) and manufactures in the U.S. with careful quality control.

What’s your return policy?

Waxhead offers a 100% No-Risk Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied—due to product issues or spoilage—reach out and we’ll facilitate a replacement or refund.

Is sunscreen safe for babies under 6 months?

Dermatologists recommend keeping babies under 6 months out of direct sun. When shade or clothing isn’t enough, use a baby mineral sunscreen zinc oxide on exposed skin, with pediatrician guidance. It’s the safest choice for occasional protection.

What sunscreen can I use on a newborn?

Use a pure non-nano zinc oxide sunblock for newborns with no chemicals or fragrances. Waxhead Baby Sunscreen contains only six edible-grade ingredients and is safe for short-term exposure when shade isn’t an option.

What is the safest baby sunscreen ingredient?

Non-nano zinc oxide is the safest and most effective sunscreen ingredient for babies. It sits on top of the skin, physically blocking UVA and UVB rays without absorption or hormone disruption.

How do I apply mineral sunscreen on a toddler?

Dot small amounts over skin and spread evenly in thin layers. The visible film shows where protection is complete. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or towel drying.

How do I reduce white cast from zinc sunscreen?

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.

What is the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen for babies?

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.

Should I use sunscreen before 6 months old?

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.

Will this sunscreen make my skin white?

Yes, and that’s a good thing. The white tint shows where coverage is complete and ensures full UV protection. It’s especially helpful for noses and cheeks. Waxhead also offers tinted options for a more natural finish.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely. This non-comedogenic mineral sunscreen is formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive skin. It won’t clog pores or trigger breakouts, and zinc oxide helps calm inflammation and redness.

Can I use this if I have rosacea or eczema?

Yes. The gentle, eczema-safe zinc oxide and anti-inflammatory ingredients make it ideal for sensitive conditions. No fragrances, preservatives, or irritants that cause flare-ups.

Is this sunscreen suitable for daily facial use?

Yes. It’s light enough for everyday use and works well under makeup as a primer. Many customers use it daily to prevent melasma, sun spots, and premature aging.

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.

Great for baby and the whole family!

A little goes a long way and doesn't sting or smell like some other baby brand sunscreens. Will buy again!

Incredibly Grateful

We are so incredibly grateful for your products. Our 4 year old son suffers from severe eczema and we have tried every recommended product by the National Eczema association as well as those from his dermatologist and allergist. He has horribly flared from all of them, and spent almost the entire summer inside as a result :( My friend heard about your product and we tried it on him and his skin is CLEAR and he said it doesn’t hurt or burn. Your product has literally changed his life. Thank you for what you do!

Never been burned

My child is now 15 months old and all I have used is Waxhead from 3 months on. We have never been sunburned from all of our lake days. No skin irritation. And I love knowing all the ingredients are easily read and understood.

Well ranked sunscreen but greasy, not absorbant

I came across this sunscreen after reading the Environmental Working Group’s Sunscreen Report and wanting to choose safer sunscreens for my kids & family. This sunscreen was among the best rated in terms of safety of ingredients and UVA/UVB protection. Unfortunately it’s super greasy and doesn’t absorb well. There are sunscreen smudges all over the car seats & elsewhere from transfer off bare skin.

SHOCK AND AWE!

For zinc sunscreen, I found this to leave a little less mess behind than others I’ve used. Mind you, it’s still messy. I absolutely love the very limited amount of ingredients in this product and my toddler’s sensitive skin didn’t at all react. We were on the Gulf Coast of the US for a beach trip, and it was windy; no worries about losing a spray sunscreen to the wind! It’s also a little closer to the equator and therefore easier to roast under the sun, but I was so happy that he didn’t. Granted, I reapplied faithfully every 90 minutes, and we had a sunshade. He also wore a hat and rash guard. But everything exposed didn’t burn. This stays on really well in the water. The only issue is if a suit strap or rash guard rubs against it, or you have a spot where a repetitive motion is occurring (like the crook of your arm/top of forearm while building a sand castle), you’ll lose sunblock from this area sooner simply because it’s being rubbed off. The good thing is, because this is zinc, you can see those areas getting exposed and reapply accordingly. The same thing happens with all sunscreen, but I never thought about it quite so much until confronted with a visual. Bottom line is, this is the only thing I will put on my child for extended outdoor play, and I felt very confident in its performance and the ingredients.The one thing that bothers me is that I could discern no difference between the “regular” sunscreen and the “kids” version; I purchased both. As an environmentally conscious company, I think it would make more sense to market them as one “All-family” sunscreen in a bigger bottle; it would have spared the environment the additional plastic tube, plus it’s easier to do a run of one product than change your packaging setup for two (yes, I work in consumer packaged goods). I know it’s sometimes more profitable in the short term to sell “kids” and “adults” products because you get the consumer to buy both, but when you have something that’s this safe and actually works on every member of the family...I’d lean into that. It’s a better story and ultimately, better for the planet. I hope to see them evolve!
