Coppertone was the first to introduce commercial sunscreen products to consumers in the United States, and in 1972 it proposed to use SPF to test the function of sunscreen products to identify the strength of sun protection, which helped the US FDA officially release the sun protection factor measurement method in 1978. In 2014, Coppertone was officially acquired by Bayer.
 
Coppertone is the most well-known in China for the Water Babies series, which is specially developed for infants and toddlers, and the KIDS series for children. Coppertone's Water Babies and KIDS ranges are broad-spectrum sun protections, but the formulations vary greatly from style to style, resulting in different sun protection results.
 
Coppertone没有纯物理防晒的产品，在此建议选择Coppertone Water Babies pure&simple sunscreen lotion with zinc oxide，是一款物化结合的防晒霜，以7.5%Octinoxate和5%Octisalate的化学防晒剂，搭配14.5%氧化锌组成，防晒指数为SPF50，涂抹后依然会泛白，但比较滋润，容易延展推开，油腻感适中，可防水80分钟。走大众化路线的Coppertone，防晒霜的价格也比较适中，这款防晒霜的小规格管状59ml售价59元，237ml大瓶装为109元。
 
Coppertone's other sunscreens are basically pure chemical sunscreens, and the sunscreen contains the UVA absorber avobenzone, which is used in combination with sunscreens such as octocrylene and homosalate, which is highly irritating and is not suitable for application around the eye area. The EWG, where safety is a major consideration, consistently lists Coppertone's chemical sunscreens and sunscreen sprays as not recommended. Moreover, the pure chemical sunscreen Coppertone sunscreen does not add zinc oxide ingredients that can resist both UVA and UVB, and the UVA resistance mainly relies on the chemical sunscreen avobenzone, but avobenzone is easy to decompose under light, even if the sun protection index SPF50 and the Coppertone sunscreen with water resistance for up to 80 minutes still needs to be reapplied, otherwise the skin is easy to tan.
