Why mineral SPF for kids
Share
Not all sunscreens work the same way. Here's why we went 100% mineral with Playsafe SPF 40+.
Mineral vs chemical filters
Chemical UV filters absorb into skin and convert UV rays into heat. Mineral filters — like the zinc oxide in Playsafe — sit on top of skin and physically block rays. For young, sensitive skin, mineral is the gentler choice.
SPF 40+
SPF 40 blocks about 97.5% of UVB rays — serious protection for serious playtime.
No white-cast drama
Mineral SPF used to mean ghost-face. We formulated Playsafe with hemisqualane and carrot seed oil so it spreads smooth and never feels greasy.
Apply generously 15 minutes before sun time, and reapply every 2 hours.
