The Best Mineral Sunscreens For Kids — That Go on Practically Clear

Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids Mineral Sunscreen Lotion ($12)

Neutrogena's Sheer Zinc Kids Mineral Sunscreen is free of parabens, fragrances, dyes, and residue possibilities — it goes on sheer. The gentle, tear-free formula also makes the application less of a struggle. The sunscreen's active ingredient is 100 percent mineral zinc oxide.

"I love the full coverage this offers for our little boy," one reviewer said. "We do a ton of boating in the summer and really wanted something that was a mineral-based sunscreen that provided a lot of sun protection and was water-resistant. This is always in the diaper bag."
