About this sunscreen
Naif Sun Cream Baby & Kids SPF30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide alone, formulated for young and sensitive skin. It does not commonly sting, but expect a moderate white cast, a dewy finish, and a heavier, more masking feel, and it is a poor makeup base. Breakout risk is moderate. Protection is moderate and the score of 59.3/100 is below average, so it is a basic mineral option chosen mainly for its simple zinc-only profile.
