I was using a lot of the Neutrogena products but they seem to have dropped to worse scores, probably because of Oxybenzone content.
For kids, checkout #6 California Baby, No Fragrance SPF 30 (rankings will change over time) This one goes on kinda white and works better if you're pretty fair...
The downside to some of the blocks is that they might be good for occasional beach use but hard to find one for daily use. They start to irritate sensitive areas like the neck after a week or so.
For moisturizing daily wear checkout: Keys Soap Solar RX Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30
