I usually have to wrestle with her a bit before she finally gives in to my persistent efforts to smear some on her. Since I don’t always feel too confident about how evenly I’ve applied her sunscreen, I’ve started relying on a sunscreen stick as an extra layer of insurance after we go outdoors. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-sport-mineral-sunscreen-spf-50-review/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-sport-mineral-sunscreen-spf-50-review/ On a recent trip, I bought a bottle of Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 specifically for my outdoor workouts. True to its “Sport” claim, this sunscreen offered long-lasting coverage, even when I was sweating bullets (unfortunately, I sweat profusely when I work out). Although it’s a decent sunscreen that will do in a pinch, I think there are better mineral sunscreens out there, so I will probably not repurchase this after I’ve used up the bottle. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-waterbabies-sunscreen-spf50-review/ Sun, 12 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-waterbabies-sunscreen-spf50-review/ When given the option between a physical sunscreen and a chemical one, I’ll choose the physical one every time, because many chemical sunscreens irritate my face. But given the option between no sunscreen and a chemical sunscreen, I’ll likely choose the chemical sunscreen if I have to spend some time in the sun. Lately I found myself in that situation, which is why I had the opportunity to try out a chemical sunscreen I would normally never use or buy: Coppertone Water Babies Sunscreen SPF 50. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-pure-and-simple-sunscreen-spf-50-review/ Thu, 11 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-pure-and-simple-sunscreen-spf-50-review/ I’ve definitely been on a zinc oxide sunscreen kick lately. It’s the best all-in-one sunscreen filter available in the U.S., and it’s reef-safe. When I first came across Coppertone Pure & Simple Sunscreen SPF 50 For Face in CVS, the high zinc oxide percentage caught my eye: a whopping 24.08% (the FDA allows up to 25 percent in sunscreens). Plus, it was labeled specifically for facial use, and I rarely see that in a drugstore. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-mineral-sunscreen-for-babies/ Wed, 01 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-mineral-sunscreen-for-babies/ Baby sunscreen is a hot topic, especially if you live in an area that gets a lot of sun, like my baby niece does. The problem with many baby sunscreens is that most babies don’t like the sunscreen application process—especially when it feels thick and pasty. Zinc oxide is a very effective UV filter (and is the only FDA-approved ingredient to block all three types of UV rays: UVA1, UVA2, and UVB), but it oftentimes makes sunscreen feel thick, and it leaves a white cast. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/peter-thomas-roth-sunscreen-review/ Sun, 08 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/peter-thomas-roth-sunscreen-review/ Slowly but surely, I’m going to review all the sunscreens in Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit 2018. Today, we’ll be focusing on Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Sunscreen, which is a chemical sunscreen that includes a bunch of other antioxidants and moisturizing ingredients, including vitamins A, C, and E, pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol), aloe, and ceramides. But while writing this post, I also discovered just how confusing and unreliable ingredient lists can be—even when they’re posted on the company’s own website. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-whipped-sunscreen-review/ Mon, 21 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/coppertone-whipped-sunscreen-review/ As I was browsing the sunscreen selection at CVS the other day, the words “whipped sunscreen” caught my eye. Coppertone Defend & Care Ultra Hydrate Sunscreen Whipped Lotion SPF 50 markets itself as hydrating and water-resistant. It also contains antioxidants and delivers SPF 50 protection! Plus, the sweet and simple artwork on the packaging looks just like whipped cream. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients, shall we? Coppertone Defend & Care UltraHydrate Whipped Sunscreen SPF 50 ingredients Price: $9.
