Kids SPF 50 Clear Face Stick Sunscreen

The Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Clear Face Stick has become our favorite face sunscreen because it solves the two sunscreen problems we run into most: mess and portability.

Lotions, sprays, and applicators all have their place, but they can be annoying to pack and messy to use on the go. This stick rubs on more like deodorant, then smears in easily without leaving your hands coated in oily sunscreen.

The small size makes it easy to keep it close at hand: in a purse, pool bag, or summer camp backpack. It is especially useful for faces, ears, noses, and quick reapplications when kids are already wet, sandy, or impatient.

It is not the sunscreen we would use for full-body coverage, and parents still need to make sure it is applied evenly. But for easy face sunscreen that travels well and does not make a mess, this is the one we keep reaching for.
