What spf do I get for a 2 year old? I had read years ago that over a certain number won't give *more* protection. Just don't remember the number... Or if it is true any longer. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks!

In the old days (when I was young) 15 spf was full protection. I just saw a 110 spf in the store the other day. Hmmmm, makes me a little skeptical that it's really all that much better than a 15. I put a 30 on DD, and a 45 or 60 on her face. But that's just because the ones that I found with a good score on toxins were 30's and 45's.

I think I read somewhere that anything over 50+ is not useful. And that a 30 to 50 is the range you want.

I go for 30-45.
