By the Numbers 200 products were submitted by top skin care brands and reviewed by our editors.We narrowed the entries down to a list of 60 finalists for our experts to test, based on qualifying factors below.22 winners were chosen. How Our Winners Made the Cut Price Accessibility. Having kids can get expensive, but taking care of their skin should not break the bank. Nothing on our list is over $35. Inclusivity Matters. How skin care, particularly sunscreen, blends into melanated skin, is important. Each product had to pass the blend-test by our dermatologists. It’s OK to Be Sensitive. As our derms can tell you, many kids have sensitive skin, particularly eczema. Our peds and dermatologists reviewed each ingredient to ensure every product was gentle. The Latest and Greatest. While a few classics still pushed their way to the winners’ circle, the majority of our list shines a light on the newest skin care products released within the last year.Fuss-Free Packaging. Not all packaging is created equal. Some bottles squirt everywhere, while others trap cream or lotion inside. When you have kids, ease can make or break a solid routine. These products passed the test.We Were Picky About What’s Inside.
