Founded in 2006, Thinkbaby, a well-known American baby brand, focuses on children's tableware and sunscreen. In recent years, Thinkbaby's children's sunscreen is the most popular brand of children's sunscreen in the United States, with a good reputation, and the children's sunscreen of the same company's Thinksport brand is also popular.
Thinkbaby has two types of sunscreens for kids, namely Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion and Thinkbaby Sunscreen Stick SPF30 Sunscreen Stick. Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50 Children's Sunscreen has been on EWG's list of the best children's sunscreens for many years. This is a pure physical sunscreen with 20% zinc oxide as the sunscreen, and the non-nano zinc oxide particles are relatively large, the texture is relatively thick, and there will be obvious whitening when applied.
Ordinary zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are thick and white, and the use of nano-sized particles of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can reduce the whitening effect, making them thinner and more comfortable. Generally, for consumers who need to apply makeup, they prefer nano particles. However, nano-sized zinc oxide particles are smaller, and UVB sunscreen is better, but UVA protection is slightly lacking, and some people believe that it is better for children to buy non-nanoparticle sunscreens with better UVA protection. As for the claim that nanoscale zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are absorbed into cells through the skin, it is not true, and studies by the FDA and the European Union have shown that they cannot be absorbed into the human body through the skin.
As a purely physical sunscreen, Thinkbaby is not excellent in terms of skin feel, but it does not contain fragrances and preservatives, and the overall formula is mild and still favored by many parents. Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E are added to strengthen the moisturizing effect, making it easier to apply, with an 80-minute anti-water effect, and the price of 89ml is 129 yuan. In addition, this sunscreen also uses a variety of hydrogenated vegetable oils and fats as emollients to improve water grip and stability, so it is recommended to try it in a small area to prevent your baby from being allergic.
The Thinkbaby sunscreen stick SPF30 is formulated in much the same way as the Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50 sunscreen lotion, but also has 80-minute water resistance. This model is not available in China, and the official website price is $8.99, which can be purchased through overseas shopping or purchasing agents.
Another brand of the same company, Thinksport, also has two children's sunscreen products, the same sunscreen lotion and a sunscreen stick, the formula is basically the same as Thinkbaby's two, the price is the same, parents can also buy.
