What the gurus are saying

This gentle baby sunscreen earns dermatologist recommendations as a trusted, well-regarded option for infants and sensitive skin. The formula notably contains no octyl salicylate. Experts note that ingredient absence isn't actually a marker of quality, and they readily recommend plenty of other well-regarded sunscreens that do contain it.

    "I've always recommended the [Aveeno] Baby Sunscreen. It actually doesn't have [octyl salicylate] in it, though I don't think that's a problematic ingredient, since I have plenty of other sunscreens I recommend that do contain it."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
