SunX Sunscreen Towelettes

Cool Tools 10:20 am Sun May 29, 2011

I have 4 kids and we are outdoors as much as possible. One down side is my blonde kids can easily get too much sun. I have tried almost every sunscreen out there and these sunscreen towelettes are the best. They come in a "baby-wipe" style of dispenser, or as individually wrapped foil packets.

Each towelette has enough sunscreen to cover a person from head to toe. The kids no longer complain about it in their eyes or how cold the aerosol cans are. I also like it because it is fast to apply and easy to carry with us. It's also easy to keep the pack in our car just in case.

SunX Sunscreen Towelettes
SPF 30
25 individually wrapped towelettes
$13

[Note: I just discovered these a few weeks ago and agree that they make the normally greasy act of applying sunscreen far more pleasant. It's also easy to throw a wrapped towelette in your bag if you don't want to carry around a leaky bottle of sunscreen. — OH]

Some commenters have pointed out that you can find this in a case of 16 in a wet wipe container, but there doesn't appear to be an affordable retailer online. Don't forget to submit a tool!
