> 24 hourThis almost seems too good to be true! It’s so easy to apply and leaves no residue or mess. My daughter loves to help apply it. I’m not sure I’d use it if we went swimming or to the beach. Although I’m sure it’s just as effective as a traditional sunblock, I don’t quite trust it yet. Especially because it’s difficult to say whether I’ve covered every inch of skin. That said, it’s perfect for everyday use!

> 24 hourI applied it multiple times to both my kids and they are both sunburnt. In the future I may use for reapplications but not initially.

> 24 hourThis stuff works great! My little boy swims every day in the Texas heat and this is all we use on his face! Lasts forever!

> 24 hourEasy to apply to wiggly kids but I don’t know exactly how effective it is yet in our hot and humid climate with sweat and splashing and also I’m disappointed by the condition it arrived in for the price. The box was a hit smushed and there was powder inside the box and all over the tube. So we have lost some product and it’s not cheap! Will keep using it and see if it’s worth the price and hope that if we ever order more it will not have spilled en route.

> 24 hourThis stuff is a lifesaver with a toddler. I use it on his face and scalp. Easy to apply, no sticky mess afterwards.

> 24 hourBottom Line: I like and will continue to purchase! Pros: -I love that it’s easy to apply to the kids’ faces. They don’t mind the application and just giggle a bit because it tickles a little. -Also, it works well! No burned noses around here. -No yucky chemicals. Cons: -It took a little work to get the powder flowing, but once I figured out the process, never had a problem. -I applied a little too light the first couple times because you can’t really see it on the skin. Definitely brush it on each part of the face a couple times to make sure you got everything covered. -It’s a little pricy, but has lasted a month so far with nearly daily use.

> 24 hourGood: - Easy to use once you figure out the unlock mechanism and how to shake it to get the product. Its not difficult, just something you have to get used to - No heavy lotion, which means I use it more often, it easily travels and can go into a pocket without risk of spraying or squirting, etc. - Nice, soft brush Bad: - Expensive. It really doesnt take very long to go through one of these containers if you use this as regularly as you should, even if only used on the face. At $26 each, it adds up SUPER fast. Ive purchased other brands/similar items that I personally dont feel work much better or worse for 1/4 the price. - Not refillable. This is a nice container that the company is pretty much charging you $10 for that has to be tossed each time you buy it. Confusing: - I wish I understood the products from this company & the packaging BEFORE I bought this product. I think this powder formula might be the same as the adult translucent, but the difference being that this package is locked and meant to be single use vs. the adult version that is $8 more, but refillable. My math sorts out that the powder refill is sold for $16, so the powder is worth about $16, the disposable kids container is about $10 of the cost while the reusable adult container is about $18. If you have or can buy a refillable powder brush for $18 or less, I would go that route and just buy the powder refills (which, ideally should also come in some different sized bulk containers if youre giving someone an option to subscribe to refills. If you have multiple kids and take this on a vacation, you could easily use it up in a week.) If you want to have the branded container and think youll be using something like this longer term and are going to apply the product to the kids or they are old enough to use such an item that can open, go for the adult product. If you dont know if youll like this product, this is the cheaper way to try it, but if you think you will like it, go for the adult one with the refills (or use your own brush and just buy the refills or do some research on other companies) and save yourself a (little) money and piece of mind about the waste created.

> 24 hourNo one should be subjected to putting sunscreen on a toddler, but this product makes it much easier. Dont be scared away by the price, it is well worth it. This lasted us almost 2 summers and this is our second order. No sunburns as of yet. Big fan of anything that makes parenting easier. Update: We are still using this product several years later. It still is working wonderfully for our children with fair sensitive skin.

> 24 hourIm very disappointed. The powder wont dispense at all. This cost a lot of $$ for a tiny amount of product, but as a desperate parent trying to protect a fair-skinned kid from sun damage, Im willing to try anything. While my kid hates the regular sunscreen, at least I know when its been applied. Im not an engineer, but I wear translucent makeup power that is applied easier and its not nearly as important as sunscreen.
