When daily sunscreen becomes essential for your baby
Raising a 14-month-old, sunscreen has become something I apply almost every day. At first, I hesitated—my baby has sensitive skin, and I was afraid of irritation. But after a few outings without sunscreen, his cheeks quickly turned red and reacted to the sunlight. That’s when I knew: skipping sunscreen was no longer an option.
The real challenge was choosing the right product. There are so many baby sunscreens on the market, but after testing a few, I realized one feature mattered most:
“Is it easy to wash off?”
Babies don’t spend long hours under the sun, and unless it’s beach day, strong SPF or waterproof formulas aren’t alw
ays necessary. What matters is whether it’s gentle enough for everyday use and washes off easily without scrubbing. If it stings their eyes or leaves residue, they’ll resist applying it—and every morning will start with a battle.
That’s why I narrowed my criteria to:
✔️ No fragrance
✔️ Doesn’t sting eyes
✔️ Easily rinses off with water
ANEVE Moist Sun Serum: What worked for us
The sunscreen that ticked every box? ANEVE Moist Sun Serum SPF35. It’s a non-nano physical sunscreen in a clean white tube, sold as a set of two 50ml bottles. I wasn’t familiar with the brand at first, but I saw positive feedback in Korean mom communities and decided to try it.
ANEVE is a Korean baby care brand by Petitelin (쁘띠엘린), known for strict ingredient control and product safety. Their products are popular among moms with sensitive-skinned babies.
What I loved immediately:
- Texture: watery serum-type, super easy to spread
- No white cast: unlike many mineral sunscreens, it doesn’t leave a thick layer
- Hydrating finish: it almost feels like applying a moisturizing lotion
- No irritation: even when it gets near the eyes
- Easy to rinse: no cleanser needed—lukewarm water is enough
It became our daily go-to. I no longer worry about evening bath time turning into a scrubbing war.
What other moms say:
“Finally found one that doesn’t make my baby cry during bath time.”
“My baby used to scream when I touched his face—this one’s so gentle he doesn’t mind anymore.”
“Love that it’s fragrance-free and doesn’t leave any stickiness.”
Bonus: There’s a sun stick too!
ANEVE also offers a sun stick version, great for quick touch-ups while on the go—especially when you don’t want sunscreen all over your hands.
Why I’d recommend this
If your baby has sensitive skin and you’ve been searching for a sunscreen that’s gentle, fuss-free, and easy to wash off, ANEVE Moist Sun Serum is worth trying.
It made our daily routine smoother—no more tears, no more fights.
