Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Linalool): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.
- Oxybenzone or avobenzone sunscreen filter (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane): These filters can irritate young skin, and the American Academy of Pediatrics advises avoiding them; mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are gentler and suit sensitive skin (American Academy of Pediatrics). A sunscreen with these filters is still better than no sunscreen.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Teen-friendly
No ingredients we flag for teens. Acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are fine.
