One of the easiest and most effective ways to keep kids safe in the sun? Sunscreen. And not just any sunscreen; we’re talking about Sun Bum, a trusted brand that makes sun safety easy, effective, and kid friendly.

At Kiddin’ Around, we know that Canadian summers are all about sunshine, beach days, and outdoor fun; from lakeside picnics to park playdates and camping under the stars. But while soaking up that sunshine is one of the joys of summer, it’s essential to make sure your little ones are properly protected.

☀️ Why Sun Bum is a Summer Essential

1. Broad-Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection

Sun Bum’s mineral and regular sunscreen lines offer broad-spectrum protection, which means they block both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. This is especially important for young, sensitive skin that’s more vulnerable to sun damage.

2. Kid-Friendly Formulas

Sun Bum’s Baby Bum line is specially formulated for babies and toddlers and is made with plant-based, gentle ingredients that won’t irritate sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dermatologist tested, just how parents like it!

3. Water-Resistant for Active Kids

Whether your kids are building sandcastles at the beach, jumping through sprinklers, or paddleboarding at the lake, Sun Bum’s water-resistant formulas help ensure their skin stays protected, even when wet.

4. Reef Friendly & Eco-Conscious

We love that Sun Bum is reef safe and cruelty free, made without oxybenzone or octinoxate, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious families. Canadian summers often mean lake and ocean time, so it’s important to use sunscreens that won’t harm aquatic ecosystems.

5. Easy Application

Parents know that getting kids to stand still for sunscreen application is no small feat. Sun Bum makes it easier with options like spray, lotion, and stick applicators which are perfect for quick touch-ups on the go.

Summer Safety Starts with Skin Protection

At Kiddin’ Around, we care about keeping your kiddos both cute and covered. That’s why we proudly stock Sun Bum products, alongside sun-safe essentials like UV-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and polarized sunglasses.

A few quick sun safety tips to remember:

• Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or more often after swimming or sweating.
• Use sunscreen even on cloudy days (UV rays still get through!).
• Pair sunscreen with UPF clothing for all-over protection.
• Keep infants under 6 months in shaded areas and covered in lightweight clothing.
