Not all sunscreen is created equal. Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen ($6.86, 4 oz.) is SPF 50+, recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for active use and formulated for sensitive skin (babies aren’t the only ones who need extra care!), and its all-vegetarian ingredients aren’t tested on animals. The sunscreen is certified reef safe, so vacationers can snorkel among the coral without doing harm to the ecosystem.
