An interesting topic that has been brought up recently in the news - the absorption of sunscreen through the skin. Sunscreen should not be used for children less than 6 months old - sun hats, SPF shirts, long sleeve lightweight tees, and hanging out in the shade are all great options for infants less than 6 months old. Sunscreen that contains zinc oxide is a great option for kids, older than 6 months old, and adults! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/10/upshot/how-safe-is-sunscreen.html

A recent study on absorption into the bloodstream has caused concern, but you should be more worried about skin cancer.
