Aveeno Baby Natural Protection Sunblock Stick Review

There is just something so precious about a new baby. I can't decide if it is the little toes or the tiny features. For me, it has to be their skin. Oh my, I could breathe in that sweet, new baby smell all day long. Mmm...it is so wonderful. My Isaac is 5 months old now (can you believe it???????) and although he is no longer a newborn, he still has that yummy smell. I just love kissing his chubby cheeks and snuggling my face close to his....there is just nothing better! Oh, how I wish I could hold onto these days forever!!

Baby's skin is always very sensitive...it doesn't matter who the baby is, they have sensitive skin. Period. My children, (with the exception of one) have all suffered from baby eczema and so I have always had to be extra careful when taking care of their skin. Because my children LOVE to be outside in the warm summer months, I need to be sure their skin is protected from the sun. Even when the sun is not out, they can still be exposed to harmful UV rays. I have used Aveeno products before...in fact, I have used their soothing bath formula to soothe my daughter's eczema and it works wonderfully! So, I was really excited to see that Aveeno has a baby line and that they carry Natural Protection Sunblock! Here is a bit more about Aveeno's history...

The unique story of AVEENO® began back in 1945, with Albert and Sidney Musher and the introduction of Soothing Bath Treatment. The Musher brothers were driven by a profound curiosity about how things work and how substances interact and a belief that centuries-old remedies hold the promise for human wellness. In conjunction with the Mayo Clinic, the Musher brothers’ experimentation with raw cereals led to the discovery of a natural bath additive containing 100% colloidal oatmeal (“colloidal” means milled to an ultra-fine powder), known for its natural ability to hold in moisture and relieve dry, irritated skin. And so was the birth of Soothing Bath Treatment and the AVEENO® brand. In fact, the Mayo Clinic was the Brand’s first customer.

Throughout the years, AVEENO® has continued this story of discovery and passion for unlocking the power of nature through scientific advances to benefit humankind. AVEENO®, the leader in ACTIVE NATURALS®, continues to develop breakthrough product formulations with new and existing natural ingredients, many that are clinically proven to deliver real skin care benefits leaving you with healthier-looking, beautiful skin. No wonder AVEENO® has been endorsed and recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians for over 60 years and is the brand trusted most by dermatologists for the efficacy and safety of its natural ingredients.

The Soothing Bath Treatment was what we have used and it is FANTASTIC. I trust Aveeno and the products that they produce, simply because they are focused on using natural ingredients. Being a mom, natural is always my first choice and so Aveeno is a favorite brand!

So, for this review I was sent an Aveeno Baby Natural Protection Sunblock Stick to check out and it is wonderful!

This sunblock is SPF (sun protection factor) 50, which is great. I want optimum protection for my babies skin and so this really has them covered. What I really love is how compact and small this stick is. It is perfect for travel or for sticking in the diaper bag. My current baby sunscreen is a huge tube that weighs a TON...it really weighs my diaper bag down. So, this stick is great.

All you do is twist the dial on the bottom like you would when using deodorant and then just smooth it over your skin. Aveeno Baby Sunscreen is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and oil-free, making it so great for babies...I love it.

I think the part I love the most is that you don't have the mess that you typically experience with liquid sunscreen. This is just like deodorant...it is firm so it isn't sloppy and doesn't get all over the place. I applied a small amount on my arm to see how it felt and it was very easy and smooth to apply. It also stayed exactly where I put it and didn't run or smudge.

The Aveeno Baby Natural Protection Sunblock Stick is available at food, drug and mass merchandise stores nationwide and retails for $8.99 - $9.99. You can also check out Aveeno on Facebook and see their latest in news and promotions!

So, in my opinion...the Aveeno Baby Natural Protection Sunblock Stick is really great! I love how compact the container is and how easy it is to apply. The ingredients are also very gentle and rest assured...with Aveeno as the manufacturer, you are getting a truly natural product!
