How do sunscreens work?

The sun emits ultraviolet (UVA & UVB) rays that can cause all kinds of skin damage. UVA rays penetrate deep into your and your baby¡¯s skin. UVB rays only reach the surface of your baby¡¯s skin.

What is SPF?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. This is the number that you¡¯ll see on the side of your sunscreen bottle, like SPF 30, for example. SPF is a measure of your sunscreen's ability to protect against UVB rays and their damaging effects.

What is a mineral sunscreen?

A mineral sunscreen is just what it sounds like - a sunscreen that uses minerals as its active ingredients. The minerals most often used are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Are mineral sunscreens safe for babies?

Sunscreens that contain only mineral-based active ingredients are safe to use on babies. This is indisputable.

What to look for when choosing sunscreen for sensitive skin?

Look for a sunscreen that¡¯s made with mineral active ingredients, is hypoallergenic & soothes your skin with natural, moisturizing ingredients. Depending on what you prefer, choose from Mustela¡¯s Mineral Sun Lotion, Spray or Stick!
