Coppertone Sunscreen

Coppertone has been a trusted name in sun protection for generations, and this collection brings together broad-spectrum sunscreens for the whole family — from active adults to babies with delicate skin. Every formula here defends against both UVA and UVB rays, the two types of ultraviolet light responsible for premature aging, sunburn, and long-term skin damage.

Which SPF you need depends on how you'll spend your time outdoors. For everyday coverage and extended exposure, Coppertone Complete SPF 50 Lotion delivers high-level protection in a 7 oz. tube that's easy to keep in a bag or car. If you prefer a gentler ingredient list, Coppertone Pure & Simple SPF 50 is a mineral-based lotion formulated without added fragrances and dyes — a good pick for sensitive skin.

Athletes and anyone sweating through a workout will appreciate the Sport line. Coppertone Sport 4-in-1 Performance SPF 30 is water resistant and built to stay put during exertion, while Coppertone Sport Clear SPF 50 goes on without the heavy white residue that can bother darker skin tones or show up in photos.

Protecting little ones takes a formula made for them. Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50 is hypoallergenic and designed for delicate skin, offered in both an 8 oz. lotion bottle for controlled application and a 6 oz. aerosol can for quick, squirming-toddler coverage.

For reliable results, apply sunscreen generously about 15 minutes before heading out, and reapply every two hours — or immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. No sunscreen is fully waterproof, so even water-resistant Sport formulas need a fresh coat to keep working. Keeping a tube for the family and a can for on-the-go touch-ups ensures no one gets caught unprotected.
