Dolphin Organics Baby Lotion

Deciphering labels can be daunting for busy parents. Mom-run Dolphin Organics gets this. Its packaging clearly categorizes ingredients, such as aloe leaf juice and jojoba seed oil, as natural, organic or “artificial” (yup, this category is always blank on the label). The fragrance-free lotion is lightweight and easily absorbed, and the company’s pure ingredient list have helped award this product line the NSF/ANSI 305 Made with Organic Ingredients certification.

Badger SPF 30+ Chamomile Baby Sunscreen

Discerning shoppers can trust Badger when it comes to research, ingredient quality and transparency. This baby formula is a prime example, utilizing gentle ingredients to provide top-notch protection for babies’ sensitive skin. Non-nano zinc oxide, plus certified organic olive oil, shea butter, calendula and sea buckthorn have rightfully earned it the NSF/ANSI 305 Made with Organic Ingredients and NPA Natural certifications.

Baby Hugo Naturals

This plant-based body oil is silky enough for any woman to crave (which is why Mom will want to share with baby). But the formula, made with apricot, coffee, sweet almond and apple, is specifically meant to nourish babies’ sensitive skin. This recently launched line of baby shampoos, diaper creams, soaps and oils uses only the purest ingredients—all free from artificial fragrances, colors, parabens, petroleum products, animal fats and alcohols.

Eco Logical All Natural Sunscreen SPF 30+ Baby

Single-function products just don’t cut it anymore, and that’s why we’ve become fans of this nourishing sunscreen for little ones from Eco Logical, an offshoot of the well-known natural sunscreen manufacturer Soléo Organics. Eco Logical combines UV-protective zinc oxide (which is recommended over titanium dioxide for babies) with emollient shea butter, jojoba, avocado and carrot oil for a product that also moisturizes and soothes irritation.

Goddess Garden Kid's Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 Spray

When temps heat up, sunscreen application can get sticky and messy, making no-fuss squirt-and-go sprays a favorite among parents and active kids. Like all of Goddess Garden’s SKUs, this product uses non-nano titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Another major boon: It contains 82 percent organic ingredients, including gentle, kid-friendly aloe—which lends a subtle scent—sunflower seed oil and jojoba wax.
