Baby Sunscreen Safer For Adults Than Regular Sunscreen

With the summer season well on its way, thinking about the beach and what sunscreen to bring must be on everyone's minds. A new research revealed that using your baby's sunscreen may even be better for you than normal sunscreen! 

According to Marie Claire, people with sensitive skins will thank heavens that baby sunscreen has been invented. Baby sunscreen, which contain zinc as an active ingredient may even be more beneficial than the regular sunscreen. 

"This is a physical sunscreen ingredient in that it sits on the surface of the skin and doesn't get absorbed through the skin, which is why it's safe for babies," Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi of Capital Laser & Skin Care shared to Marie Claire. "The only difference between the baby formulations and the adult version is the cosmetic 'elegance' of the product." 

As many people would naturally be unaware, adult sunscreens are only different from baby sunscreens because they contain contain chemicals that would prevent the white finish from showing. Baby sunscreens d not have this chemical, so the white finish that zinc caused can be visible. 

Even if it looks weird to have such a ghastly appearance after putting on baby sunscreen, this may be more effective and safe for people with sensitive skins. Compared to adult sunscreens, baby sunscreens also sometimes cost cheaper. 

Baby sunscreens therefore add to the growing list of baby products that adult can find useful too, such as baby oil, baby wipes, and diaper rash cream! Baby shampoos can sometimes work great for adults, who are specifically sensitive to the chemicals that adult shampoos eyes that can cause a whole lot of tears when the suds get to the eye.

According to Health.com, which listed several of these useful baby products, baby hairbrush can even double as facial brush. Baby cleansing washes also have the most gentle of ingredients, perfect for sensitive skin.
