El Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids Mineral Sunscreen SP
On the downside, the texture is quite thick and can leave a visible white cast, especially on darker skin tones, so you need to work it in well when applying. Overall, it's a good option if you're looking for reliable mineral sunscreen, especially for sensitive skin, although it's not the lightest for wearing under makeup.

Suitable for sensitive children's skin
Neutrogena sheer zinc kids sunscreen applied cleanly without the oily, messy residue that often goes along with using sunscreen. This cream leaves skin soft and moisturizer and gives excellent coverage. Reliable sun protection for kids! This is one of the best mineral sunscreens l've used. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids SPF 50+ is great for sensitive children's skin - it's fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dye-free. The cream doesn't irritate, doesn't sting the eyes, and lasts well even after water. The only downside is a slight white cast, but that's a typical zinc cream drawback. I even use it for myself. This leaves a little white cast so you have to rub nicely.

Works well on sensitive skin!
This is one of the best mineral sunscreens I’ve used for my kids. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids SPF 50+ works really well on their sensitive skin. It doesn’t have any strong smell, no parabens or dyes, and it doesn’t sting their eyes. It stays on even after swimming, which is a big plus. The only thing is it leaves a bit of a white cast, but that’s normal for zinc sunscreens. I actually like it so much that I use it on myself too!

Scent free
Wow! This is pretty good for kid. I use it every day for my kid at school since they go out for recess and a lot of sun. It is not sticky and very smooth. No scent is good for kid as well.

Normal, use all summer.
I’ve been using the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+, and it’s a solid choice for sun protection. The zinc-based formula provides strong broad-spectrum protection, making it great for sensitive skin. I really appreciate that it’s fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dye-free, which means fewer irritants for kids’ delicate skin. The tear-free formula is a big plus, especially when applying it to the face. It’s also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it perfect for swimming or outdoor play. However, like many mineral sunscreens, it does leave a white cast, which might be noticeable on darker skin tones. The texture is a bit thick, so it takes some effort to rub in completely. Overall, it’s a great choice for kids with sensitive skin, offering reliable sun protection without harsh chemicals. If you don’t mind the thicker consistency, it’s definitely worth trying!

Only zinc but very oily
I purchased this because I needed and wanted only mineral-based sunscreen. I will refuse to use products that are not mineral based when it comes to sunscreen, I don’t want to put those toxic, carcinogenic ingredients on my skin. I’m glad that Neutrogena finally started making a line that is zinc and mineral based, but this sunscreen is very very oily. It causes lots of oil/sunscreen transfer on anything that comes into contact with it.

Not sheer, returning.
I bought this because it said that it was sheer... This is one of the most thick, sticky and hard to spread sunscreens I have ever purchased. Definitely leaves a white cast, smells like sunscreen and leaks out of the cap even when it’s closed, just as an extra bonus!

Protect from sun but leaves white cast.
This kids sunscreen does its job to protect from sun very good. But only downside is it doesn’t blend very well and leaves white cast on your skin.

Do NOT Recommend
Horrible sunscreen! It is so thick and hard to apply that you are breaking a sweat trying to get this to rub in. Don’t bother, it won’t absorb. It coats your skin in a waxy white layer that won’t come off for days. Not sheer at all, the white cast this creates is so bad! It is also extremely drying of the skin. We are still moisturizing like crazy and we stopped using this stuff almost a week ago. Do NOT buy!!!

Very drying
Unfortunately this was very drying, thick, and white-casted… the ingredients are great but I’m still searching for our favorite mineral sunscreen

The whitest cast I've ever seen in a sunscreen. The arm photo is how it looks after rubbing for 20 seconds. The texture is very thick and skin has a hard time absorbing it. Feels sticky. Only upside is how it's free of fragrance, parabens and dyes.

Stinging, blinding, awful
Did hot yoga with this on, and the sweat made the sunscreen run into my eye, dear sweet god I feel so bad that I was putting this on my poor toddler. It burned so so so bad in my eyes. Going to try to return this. Tear free my butt.

No way!
Not good sunscreen! Hard to rub in, leaves a white cast hours later. I’ve been looking for the perfect sunscreen and this is far from it!
