MDSolarSciences Mineral KidStick SPF 40

This stick is a total lifesaver for face application. My toddler actually lets me put it on because it doesn't pull on the skin.

Water-resistant and reliable.

I love that it’s mess-free. I can apply it to my kids' faces at the park without getting my hands all greasy.

I love the clean ingredients. Knowing it’s reef-safe and free of harsh chemicals makes me feel much better.

The perfect size for a diaper bag or a purse. I even use it on myself for quick ear and nose touch-ups.

Finally, a mineral stick that doesn't leave my kids looking like little ghosts. It blends in incredibly well.

Best sunscreen for squirmy toddlers.

It glides on so smoothly. Most mineral sticks are waxy and hard to spread, but this one is like butter.

My daughter has very sensitive eczema-prone skin, and this is the only brand that doesn't cause a flare-up.

I keep this in my son’s backpack for school. It’s easy enough for him to apply to his own face before recess.

No stinging eyes! That is the biggest win for us. Even when they’re sweating at soccer, it stays put.

This is great for the "danger zones" like the tops of ears and the part in my kids' hair.

I was surprised by how lightweight it feels. It’s not sticky at all, which is usually my biggest complaint with sticks.

The cap stays on really securely, so I don't have to worry about it making a mess inside my bag.

It has a very mild, clean scent, nothing like that heavy "artificial sunscreen" smell.

It doesn't run, even when they’re splashing in the pool. The 80-minute water resistance is legit.

10/10 for portability. It’s the only thing I carry for sun protection during short walks.

I love that it contains Shea Butter. It actually leaves my kids' skin feeling soft instead of dried out.

We took this to Hawaii and it was the MVP of the trip. Easy to reapply every couple of hours on the go.

Perfect for active families.

I use this on my own face over makeup for touch-ups. It doesn't move my foundation around too much.

Simply the best kid-friendly sunscreen we’ve ever used. No more sunscreen battles in the morning!

My dermatologist recommended this for the whole family, and it’s lived up to the hype.

The shape of the stick is perfect for getting around the nose and under the eyes.
