1-year-old baby sunscreen?
⚡ Short answer: For a 1-year-old, choose mineral sunscreen (containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide), fragrance-free, SPF 30-50, test a small amount on the arm first, apply 15-20 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours.

When choosing sunscreen for a 1-year-old, the most important features are: mineral-based (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide), fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic. Physical (mineral) filters aren't absorbed by the skin the way chemical filters are, which is why they're considered safer for small children — the AAP also recommends mineral sunscreen for babies over 6 months. SPF 30-50 provides adequate protection. Test it on a small patch of your baby's arm first before using it widely. Apply 15-20 minutes before going outside, then reapply every 2 hours and after water exposure. For a brand, I can't recommend one specifically, but you can ask at your pharmacy for a baby-safe option.
