By Marta Topran

Shampoo and Conditioner
California Baby Swimmer's Defense
 

Natural ingredients in this duo help to combat the chemicals in pool water that can damage hair or turn blonde hair copper, while oils moisturize stressed-out tresses. It's great for moms with color-treated hair.

$9.25, California Baby

 
Body Wash
Weleda Baby Calendula Cream Bath
 

The calendula-flower extract in this milky wash soothes and comforts skin, while sweet-almond oil keeps skin smooth. And it leaves a light, earthy scent, so you can leave the perfume at home.

$15, Weleda

 
Body Lotion
Little Twig Bodymilk Extra Mild Unscented
 

The unscented moisturizer in this paraben-free line is great for sensitive skin, and unlike some kids' lotions, it won't leave you smelling like a baby. Shea butter keeps skin hydrated longer.

$12, Little Twig

 
Lip Balm
Kiehl's Baby Lip Balm
 

Fans of Kiehl's adult balm will not be disappointed with this aged-down version, which contains fatty avocado oils to soothe and moisturize the lips.

$7.50, Kiehls

 
CURE-ALL
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
 

From dry skin to scrapes to burns to diaper rash—this heal-all ointment is a must for any trip.

$8.50, Walgreens

 
Sunscreen
Coppertone Water Babies Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
 

An oldie but goodie, this classic contains avobenzone for broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. Put the oil down—you should be using this, too!

$9, drugstore.com

 
Face Sunscreen
Mustela Sun Cream for Sensitive Areas SPF 50
 

Thicker formulas can irritate a baby's delicate face (yours, too!). The lip gloss–like tube helps glide this gentle SPF onto areas susceptible to sun damage, like the nose and forehead.

$10, Mustela for stores.

 
After Sun Lotion
Burt's Bees Aloe & Linden Flower After Sun Soother
 

A day at the beach can leave skin in need of a little repair. Aloe helps soothe with a slight cooling effect while linden-flower extract acts as an anti-inflammatory.

$10, Burt's Bees

 
Bug Spray
Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Pump Spray
 

Avoid those sunset bug attacks at the beach with this DEET-free bug repellent that lasts up to eight hours and is safe for both kids and adults.

$10, Avon
