Sun Protection for Kids
Sunscreen Kids Actually Like
BOB KIDS is sunscreen kids like and use, designed to feel good on skin without being greasy or sticky. With a mix of fun, easy-to-use formats, sun care becomes part of the routine kids recognize and parents don’t have to push. Less resistance, more reapplication, and better habits that stick.
Powder
BOB KIDS SPF 30
Brush On Mineral Powder
A soft, fluffy purple brush makes sunscreen something kids actually like using. Designed for easy application and reapplication at school, practice, and everywhere in between. The lightweight mineral powder feels good on skin and stays put, so it won’t run or sting eyes. Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with 80 minutes of water resistance keeps up with play, long afternoons, and busy days in the sun.
“Getting my kids to wear sunscreen used to be a battle until we found Brush On Block. No more greasy hands, no more whining. They actually like using it themselves! I keep one in my car, their backpacks, and my pocket when we’re out biking or at the park. It’s quick, mess-free, and gives me peace of mind knowing they’re protected."

FAQ
BOB KIDS is designed to make sunscreen easier for kids to use and reapply on their own. We focus on real-life usability. Lightweight textures, mess-free formats, and kid-friendly designs help turn sun protection into a habit instead of a battle. Mineral protection works best when it's used consistently. That's what BOB KIDS is built for.
Yes. BOB KIDS products are designed to be simple and intuitive, so kids can participate in their own sun-care routine.
From brush-on powder to easy-to-swipe sticks and sprays, each format supports independence while still delivering broad-spectrum mineral protection. For younger children, adult supervision is recommended. But the goal is to make sun protection something kids recognize, feel confident using, and actually stick with.
It depends on how your family uses sunscreen. Many families use multiple formats for different situations:
- Powder (SPF 30): Great for initial application and especially designed for easy reapplication throughout the day, at school, practice, or on the go. Kids can apply it themselves without mess.
- Spray (SPF 50): Easy for quick, full-body coverage before heading outside. Great for squirmy kids or larger areas.
- Quick Stick (SPF 40): Perfect for faces, quick touch-ups, and keeping in backpacks or sports bags.
- Balm (SPF 40): Made for spots that need extra attention, noses, ears, cheeks, and anywhere that gets the most sun.
The best sunscreen is the one your family will actually use. We designed different formats because real life calls for different solutions.
All BOB KIDS sunscreens use mineral-only active ingredients, specifically non-nano zinc oxide. Mineral sunscreen sits on top of the skin to help reflect and scatter UV rays. Many families prefer mineral protection for everyday use because it's gentle and appropriate for consistent, long-term sun-care routines.
All BOB KIDS sunscreens are water resistant for 80 minutes. Reapply at least every two hours, after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, or immediately after towel drying.
BOB KIDS products are designed to make reapplication easier, whether that's brushing on powder at school, swiping a stick before practice, or spraying before heading back outside. Reapplication is part of healthy sun habits, not something to stress about.
Yes. BOB KIDS formulas are mineral-only and designed to feel lightweight and comfortable on skin. Many families with sensitive or sensory-sensitive children choose mineral sunscreen because it's gentle and suitable for everyday use. BOB KIDS products are also free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.
BOB KIDS is designed for children who are active and learning to take part in their own routines. Many families use BOB KIDS for school-age children and older toddlers with supervision. For infants under six months, consult your pediatrician before using any sunscreen. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping babies under six months out of direct sunlight when possible.
Every child is different, but many kids around ages 5-7 start participating in their own sun protection routine with supervision. BOB KIDS products are designed to make this easier. The powder brush, stick, and spray formats are intuitive enough for kids to learn, and simple enough for them to actually want to use. Starting this habit early helps kids see sun protection as a normal part of getting ready, not something only parents do. Over time, it builds confidence and better habits that stick.
