How do i pick the best sunscreen for a child?

Look for zinc oxide: The best sunscreens are zinc oxide based. Zinc oxide reflects the sun and is not abosrbed into the child's skin.

UVA & UVB protection: Check out the environmental working group webite, they list the safest sunscreens, but at the top of this list are: adorable baby, aveeno (oatmeal) baby natural, babyganics and badger.
