Gentle bug protection for little ones

BABY BUG BAN is our extra-gentle, 100% plant-based bug repellent for babies and kids, made with simple and wholesome ingredients including our hero ingredient, the soothing rose geranium essential oil that naturally repels mosquitos. It is labeled for babies 6 months and up, toddlers, and kids, as well as expecting moms and nursing moms. The formula is free of DEET, alcohol, and mineral oil, and it leaves out the stronger essential oils, like clove, peppermint, cedarwood, rosemary, and citronella, that are common in other natural repellents. Baby Bug Ban is lab-tested and proven to repel mosquitoes for up to 4 hours. This delightfully fresh non-greasy spray has a beautiful floral scent.  The fine mist spray can go on skin, clothing, strollers, and baby gear, for complete coverage.  Baby Bug Ban comes in a 4 oz spray for the diaper bag, an 8 oz spray for home, and individually wrapped wipes for a quick, discreet and mess-free application on the go. (The wipes are especially helpful if it’s windy outside, or you have a wiggly toddler that doesn’t like to sit still!) 

Mineral sunscreen made for sensitive skin

Our Baby + Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen uses clear non-nano zinc oxide for effective broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that stays water resistant for up to 80 minutes. The nourishing hypoallergenic formula skips all the chemical actives like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octocrylene and instead adds soothing, hydrating botanicals like organic aloe vera, calendula, chamomile, and moisturizing coconut oil, for a decadent, antioxidant-rich formula that pampers and protects the skin. It goes on clear and sheer with a light, naturally-derived Peach Mango scent - no synthetic fragrances ever!Choose the 3 oz tube with its foam applicator for the beach bag, the 8 oz pump bottle for home, or the Duo-Pack so there is always a tube close by.  This clean, feel-good mineral sunscreen is made for babies 6 months and older and anyone with sensitive skin. Sunscreen time, minus the struggle

Getting sunscreen on a squirmy toddler can feel like an outdoor sport of its own. The Sun-Easy roll-on applicator pairs a roller ball with a smoothing sponge so sunscreen goes on evenly, with less mess and less waste. Shaped like a Teddy Bear or a Fish Tail, each in three fun colors, it feels more like playing with a toy than a chore, and  kids can enjoy applying their own sunscreen with a grown-up supervising. The Sun-Easy is refillable and eco-friendly, made with BPA-free plastic from recycled materials, and comes with a handy replacement sponge. Fill it straight from the 8 oz Baby + Kids pump bottle - designed to be paired together for easy refills! 

Bundles that cover sun and bugs

Our bundles make it easy to pack everything at once, usually for less than buying each item on its own. The Extra Gentle Baby Bundle pairs a 4 oz Baby Bug Ban spray with a 3 oz Baby + Kids SPF 50, a complete sun-and-bug kit for the outdoors that fits in your diaper bag. The Sun-Easy Baby Bundle combines the Teddy Bear applicator with the 8 oz Baby + Kids sunscreen for easy sunscreen refills all summer. The Baby Bug Ban + Wipes Bundle gives you the spray for home and wipes for outdoor playdates, and the Mineral Sunscreen Bundle pairs Baby + Kids SPF 50 mineral sunscreen with our Sport SPF 50, so kids and grown-ups are both covered - complete family sun protection in one easy bundle..

Building an outdoor routine for kids

A simple routine makes protection a habit instead of a battle. Apply sunscreen about 15 minutes before heading outside, and reapply at least every 2 hours, after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and right after towel drying. If you are using bug repellent too, put sunscreen on first, let it absorb, then apply a light mist of your bug repellent. For young children, spray repellent onto your own hands and then rub it onto their skin, keeping it away from their eyes, mouth, and hands. Hats, lightweight long sleeves, and shade during midday hours add an extra layer of protection. For daycare, camp, and school days, a 4 oz Baby Bug Ban, Baby Bug Ban wipes or a 4 oz Squito Ban tuck easily into a backpack.
