What makes BOB Kids a Mineral Sunscreen?

As a mineral sunscreen, BOB Kids does not contain harmful chemical ingredients, but contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, both of which are well-known, naturally occurring minerals. Both minerals offer broad-spectrum, SPF 30 sunscreening action when used as directed, and provide some of the safest sun protection available. Unlike chemical sunscreens which work by being absorbed into the skin, BOB Kids features natural minerals which sit on top of your skin and reflect the sun’s rays away from your body. Since it is not absorbed into the skin, BOB Kids is less likely to irritate the skin, making it ideal for children.

Where is your product made?

Our sunscreen powder is manufactured in an FDA-inspected facility in the US. Our brushes are manufactured by a 4th generation family-owned business in China. Andrea Wetsel, Brush On Block® founder and CEO has visited both facilities many times and is confident that they are both following all Good Manufacturing Processes and are not only compliant with all laws, but meet our high standards for cleanliness, fairness and equitable employment treatment.

Why doesn’t my sunscreen have an expiration date?

Every sunscreen formula undergoes ongoing stability testing so that consumers know at what point the product begins to become less effective. After three years of stability testing with no drop in efficacy, the FDA allows formulas to remove the expiration date from the products. Brush On Block has reached that standard on many of our products, and so they are not required to carry an expiration date. The FDA advises that you use up any sunscreen without an expiration date within 3 years from opening it, but since you should wear your Brush On Block every day, that won’t be an issue!

Can I wash my brush?

We recommend that you clean, but do not wash your brush with water (as water may drip down the spout and clog the brush). To clean your brush, make sure it is in the “closed” position. Run the bristles over a paper towel sprayed with a brush cleaner, a damp microfiber cloth or even a baby-wipe. Then allow the bristles to fully dry with the cap off.

Who is BOB?

While we wish we had a really fun answer for this, BOB is simply short for Brush On Block®!
