Avene sunscreen spray d children spf50 200ml. Review of sunscreens for babies under one year old (very many letters)

Salmina Anna Moscow | 11/14/2017 |

This cream is for children. Excellent for children. Yes, it is white at first - in order to distribute and smear everywhere (I had such that the unstained areas burned when the cream was transparent).
Ideal for a child. Protects perfectly, the child under the sun did not tan at all until the 12th day. But we sat under an umbrella almost always.
Not bad for adults too. When you apply, as if in plastic bag you sit, but the skin will thank you. I did not slip, because I regularly do body skin peeling. And I advise everyone!

Mansurova Elizaveta St. Petersburg | 06/30/2017 |

I have never met a more disgusting sun cream.
1. The texture is not invisible at all. When applying, if you sweat a little, then immediately the whole cream rolls off.
2. It is poorly absorbed.
3. Not waterproof. After swimming (in the sea, in the pool), the cream completely drains from the body with stains.
4. Leaves a sticky layer.
5. Enjoyed all 10 days of rest and the whole family burned down repeatedly. Doesn't protect at all.
5. The worst thing. Because of it, an uneven "dirty" tan with lumps all over the body turned out, which now cannot be blocked. And this is due to the fact that the cream is unevenly distributed over the skin, although this is not visible to the eye, and after bathing it begins to drain. Of course, after bathing, everyone wiped themselves off with a towel and reapplied the cream, as indicated on the package, which caused additional "dirty" tanning stains all over the body.
So also constant burns in the bargain.

Svetlana Svetlana Moscow | 13.12.2016 |

Excellent protection from the sun (and this is the main thing!) I have very white sensitive skin. As part of the modern safest filters.
Does not contain alcohol, which means it does not dry the skin.
Pleasant thick milk is well distributed over the skin, not sticky, it is not felt by the film under which it is hot. (for SPF 50+ this is already a big plus).
Does not stain clothes, which is what Garnier is guilty of.

Rasputina Tatiana | 02.09.2016 |

Efficiency: score 5

I bought funds for myself, because what suits children - suits everyone. The spray adequately protects from the sun, while caring for the skin: nourishes and moisturizes. However, in my opinion, it loses to a similar remedy from La Roche-Posay, because has a thicker, richer texture, which is why it is felt on the skin. But this is not a minus, but a matter of taste.

Texture: score 5

White thick milk in the form of a spray. It is sprayed in the form of a dense stream, you have to make an effort to distribute the product over the skin.

Economy / Consumption: score 5

Consumption is typical for this class of care products.

Conclusions: Decent product, but personally I like a similar product from another pharmacy better.

Inna Yakutia | 04.07.2016 |

Efficiency: score 5

I read reviews about this tool and decided to buy it! Avene, as always, is on top. Perfectly suits my children (5 years and 1 year old) and me (I have dry, atopic skin and it is difficult to find something). Absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. Does not vibrate the skin (like other products). Copes with its task well.

Texture: score 5

White milk with a slight odor.

Economy / Consumption: score 5

The consumption is small. A few "zips" are enough to apply to the whole body. we use the whole family.

Conclusions: I will take it every summer. There is no desire to buy something else.

The main thing that sunscreen really protected from ultraviolet radiation and did it as safely as possible.

"Natural" composition is not necessarily effective and not always safe, as both natural and artificially synthesized substances can be both harmless and hazardous to health.

In children's products, inactive ingredients must also be safe, not subject to photochemical reactions or cause allergies.

For the analysis of the compositions, data on ingredients from the pubchem and ewg skin deep databases were used.

The safety rating is given according to the rating of the unwanted ingredient. The lower the score, the worse the ingredient and cream reputation.

Sunscreen should not contain:

  • NANOPARTICLES of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (nanoparticles can accumulate in the skin, alter the action of other filters, damage cells and genetic material)
  • oxybenzone (sunscreen, causes photochemical reactions with the release of free radicals, enters the bloodstream, can act like the hormone estrogen, cause allergic reactions)
  • methylparaben (preservative, may interact with UVB rays and accelerate skin aging)
  • retinol (Vit A, when exposed to UV can damage the skin, accelerate the development of skin tumors)
  • fragrances (may cause photochemical reactions)
  • essential oils that can cause photosensitization and pigmentation (such as citrus, orange, bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit, lime, lavender, rosemary, rice, angelica, tea tree)
  • alcohol at the beginning of the list of ingredients (added to make the cream dry faster. Alcohol dries the skin, so its presence at the beginning of the composition is undesirable for atopics)
  • unwanted ancillary ingredients

It is good when antioxidants are present in the cream ( vit E, C, green tea extracts, etc.) and panthenol, but as a rule there are very few of them and it is better to apply them separately, after sun exposure.

Let's start with the popular remedies that you can buy at the pharmacy.

We have singled out pharmaceutical products separately as the most expensive and reliable products, and we will start with them.

1. Avene Milk SPF 50

2. Bioderma Photoderm Kids Milk SPF 50

3. Uriage Bariesun enfants SPF 50

4. Mustela Milk SPF 50

5. La Roche-Posay Anthelios milk SPF 50, from 6 months

6. Ladival milk for children SPF 50, from 3 years old

  • Everything pharmacy products proved to be quite safe.
  • None of the cream contains perfume, oxycrylene, methylparaben, retinol.
  • All contain antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals generated by UV light.
  • Nano-particles of titanium dioxide are used only in the Ladival product (namely nanoparticles! Titanium dioxide in its normal and micronized form is not dangerous!)
  • In terms of the effectiveness of protection, Bioderma and Uriage are inferior to the rest.
  • La Roche-Posay uses an octisalate filter, which can cause allergic reactions.

The safety and efficacy score is rated from 1 to 5 and the lower the score, the worse the product's reputation.

In the "conclusions" a green tick was given to those products that had an effectiveness rating of 5, and funds with a rating of 4 can be recommended to a limited extent, for example, in conditions of inactive insolation or the inability to buy another product. The effectiveness of Sanskrin is more important than its safety.

So, how effective and safe you can recommend 3 products for purchase:

  1. Avene Milk SPF 50,
  2. Mustela Milk SPF 50,
  3. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Milk SPF 50

1. Avenemilk SPF 50

Security: 5

Efficiency: 5

Tinosorb m, tinosorb s, diethylhexyl butamido triazone, avobenzone

Modern and effective Sanskrins. Protect from all types of rays. Waterproof and photostable. The only caveat is that there are no physical filters, they could reduce the proportion of chemical ones. It contains antioxidants. There is no perfume.

2. BiodermaPhotodermKids Milk SPF 50

Security: 5

Efficiency: 4

Tinosorb m, avobenzone, uvinul e150

There are only three filters, and only tinosorbm protects from UVB. Not very reliable, in my opinion, although tinosorb is one of the newest and most effective filters. The composition of the base is good. There is no perfume, there is vitamin E.

3. Uriage Bariesun enfants SPF 50

Security: 5

Efficiency: 4

Tinosorb m, avobenzone, uvinul e 150

A good composition of Sanskrins, however, also without physical filters. Covering all types of rays, photostable, waterproof. There is no fragrance, there are antioxidants (though at the very end, it means there are very few of them).

4. Mustelamilk SPF 50

Security: 4

Efficiency: 5

Yuvinul Аplus, juvinul e150, insulizol, titanium dioxide, tinosorb s

Very good composition of sunscreens, blocks all types of rays, waterproof and photostable. Safe base. It contains antioxidants. There is no perfume.

5. La Roche-Posay AntheliosmilkSPF 50,With 6 month

Security: 4

Efficiency: 5

Octisalate, tinosorb s, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, mexoryl xl, diethylhexyl butamido triazone

Powerful and effective composition of Sanskrins. Photostable, waterproof, overlaps with all types of rays. It contains antioxidants and shea butter.

Octisalate may cause allergies. No perfume

6 ... Ladivalmilkfor children SPF 50, from 3 years old

Security: 3

Efficiency: 5

Octocrylene, octisalate, avobenzone, titanium dioxide (nano), tinosorb s

Good combination of Sanskrins, stabilize each other. Due to tinosorb, all types of rays are blocked. I would like to see micronized titanium dioxide, not nano. Octisalate may cause allergies. No perfume. Antioxidants - Vit E, grape seed extract.

Sunscreens you can buy in the store quite effectively protect from ultraviolet radiation. But the unwanted ingredients in the composition contain almost everything. These are actually sunscreen filters and auxiliary components of the cream (preservatives, fragrances).

It is difficult to agree with the recommended age of the beginning of application - firstly, children under 6 months old do not need to be in the active sun, even with applied sunscreen, and secondly, the compositions of these creams are not so safe as to be applied to a susceptible and thin skin baby.

The most popular store products are:

  1. NIVEA SUN Baby SPF 50, from 3 months
  2. NIVEA SUN kids SPF 50, from 3 years old.
  3. Bubchen Sun Milk for sensitive skin SPF 30, from 0.
  4. AQA baby Sunscreen SPF 50, from 6 months
  5. Sanosan Sun Milk SPF 50, with
  6. Floresan Africa kids cream SPF 50, from 1 year
  • The safest and most effective among them is Garnierambre solaire kids. He has a good Sanskrin line-up, and a more or less tolerant base line-up.
  • In other creams, the presence of nanoparticles of titanium dioxide confuses.
  • According to the level of safety of ingredients, all products are approximately equal.
  • There is a difference in the effectiveness of protection - Bubchen protects worst of all, Garnier and AQA baby best of all.
  • The worst of the 18 creams we tested was Floresan Africa kids. It contains an extremely undesirable sunscreen filter oxybenzone, which in the sun promotes the formation of free radicals, photoallergic reactions, penetrates into the bloodstream, and can have a hormone-like effect (like estrogen). It is not recommended for use not only for children, but also for adults.
  1. Garnier ambre solaire kids aqua cream SPF 50

If you don't have to choose, then the following are acceptable:

  1. NIVEA SUN Baby SPF 50
  2. AQA baby Sunscreen SPF 50 (many allergenic ingredients)
  3. Sanosan Sun Milk SPF 50 (many allergenic ingredients)

1. Garnier ambre solaire kidsaqua- creamSPF 50

Security: 4

Efficiency: 5

Octisalate, Avobenzone, Tinosorb S, Mexoril XL

Good composition of Sanskrins, reliably blocking all types of rays. But I was not at all pleased with the composition of the base - perfume, phenoxyethanol in baby cream obviously superfluous. Antioxidants are in the middle of the list, which is good news - it means that you can count on them at least a little. Octisalate may cause allergies.

2. NIVEA SUN Baby SPF 50,With 3 month.

Security: 3

Efficiency: 4

Quite good composition of Sanskrins, covering all UV lengths. Waterproof, photostable. Alcohol at the top of the list. No perfume. Contains panthenol and antioxidants. Didn't like nano-titanium dioxide.

3. NIVEA SUN kids SPF 50,from 3Xyears

Security: 3

Efficiency: 4

Octocrylene, Titanium dioxide (nano), Avobenzone, Tinosorb S

The composition of the sanskrins is the same as that of the nivey baby, but here the composition of the base is upsetting - phenoxyethanol, perfume and methylpataben, which enters into photochemical reactions. The composition contains vit E and panthenol.

4. BubchenSunscreenmilkforsensitiveskin SPF 30,With

Security: 3

Efficiency: 3

Titanium dioxide (nano) Octisalate, Yuvinul Аplus, Insulizol, DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE

This sanskrin is positioned for children from the first days. I cannot approve of this approach, since it is not recommended to keep a baby under 6 months old in the open active sun even with sunscreen (in this case, sunscreen is required). And not only because of the harm of UV rays, but also because of the danger of overheating. Now to the composition. Nano-particles of titanium dioxide. Filters are photostable, water resistant, but generally provide protection mainly from UVB. Octisalate may cause allergies. The alcohol is at the top of the ingredient list, i.e. there is a lot of it, it can dry the skin. The composition contains antioxidants and panthenol, but their share is insignificant. No perfume is very good.

5. AQA baby Sunscreen SPF 50, from 6 months.

Security: 3

Efficiency: 5

Octisalate, Octocrylene, Avobenzone, DIETHYLHEXYLBUTAMIDO TRIAZONE, Insulizol, Titanium dioxide (nano), Octinoxat

Effective against all types of waves. Waterproof, photostable. Disliked nano-particles and phenoxyethanol. Octisalate, octinoxate may cause allergies. No perfume.

6. SanosanSunscreenmilk SPF 50,With

Security: 3

Efficiency: 4

Octocrylene, Avobenzone, Octisalate, Titanium dioxide (nano), Insulizol

This cream is also marketed from birth, but it is harmful for babies under 6 months old to be under the active sun. Here better composition Sanskrin, cover all types of rays. Titanium dioxide in nano form. There is no fragrance and there are antioxidants, panthenol. But the basic roster was upset. It contains the unsafe preservative phenoxyethanol and the highly allergenic preservative methylisothiazolinone. Octisalate can also cause allergies.

7. Floresan Africa kidscream

Security: 2

Efficiency: 4

Octisalate, Oxybenzone, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide

The most unsafe composition considered here. In general, it protects well from ultraviolet radiation. But. Oxybenzone causes photoallergic reactions, penetrates well into the skin, and can exhibit hormone-like activity. Odorant. Panthenol and antioxidants are there. I do not recommend it.

And finally, consider the popular remedies not included in the previous categories .

  1. Levrana sun cream SPF 50 is an organic sun cream that has shown excellent safety and efficacy ratings.
  2. Luxury brand LANCASTER Sun for KidsSPF 50

and three Russian Sanskrins:

  1. My sun SPF50
  2. My sun SPF 30
  3. Our mother
  • The best among all 18 sun creams we have reviewed is Levrana sun creamSPF 50. True, there are a lot of essential oils in the composition, which allergy sufferers need to pay attention to.
  • Luxurious Lancaster reliably protects against ultraviolet radiation, but the safety of the composition leaves much to be desired.
  • Domestic products did not please with either a good composition or effective protection from ultraviolet radiation.
  • Our mom's cream with a pseudo-natural composition showed the worst results in this group.
  • Levrana sun cream SPF 50 (in the composition of essential oils, be careful for allergy sufferers)
  • Lancaster provides good protection, so it can also be used if there is no other choice. (LANCASTER Sun for Kids cream SPF 50, from 3 years old)

We do not recommend sunscreens from Russian manufacturers.

1. Levrana sun cream SPF 50.

Safety Score: 5

Effectiveness score: 5

Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide

Excellent effective protection against all types of rays. No chemical filter offers the same UVA protection as zinc oxide. Physical filters do not penetrate the skin (non-nano). The base is safe, but there are many oils, allergy sufferers need to read the composition. Essential oil tea tree can give photoallergic reactions.

2. LANCASTER Sun for KidscreamSPF 50,With 3 X years.

Safety Score: 3

Effectiveness score: 5

Octocrylene, Octisalate, Avobenzone, Titanium dioxide (nano), Insulizol, Tinosorb S, Octinoxat

I had high hopes for Lancaster. It turned out to be effective in terms of protection, but the base was not very pleased. Filters cover all types of rays, which is very good. Photostable, waterproof. And again nano-titanium dioxide. In addition, it is not clear why there are many citrus extracts (which can cause photoallergic reactions) and coffee in the baby sun cream. Phenoxyethanol, perfume. Very good, that protects against infrared radiation, contains panthenol and antioxidants. Octisalate, octinoxate can cause allergies.

3. OurMotherchildsunscreencream SPF 30,from 1.5years.

Safety Score: 3

Effectiveness score: 3

Octinoxat, Titanium Dioxide, Juvinul Аplus

The manufacturers of this cream claim that this cream contains natural filters. What did they mean? Mineral? Natural? Titanium dioxide? Well, any cream stuffed with chemistry can boast of this) The composition of the filters is also surprising: octinoxate is usually stabilized by tinosorb, but here it is not included in the composition. Declared UVA protection is incomplete (Juvinul Aplus - UVA2). In addition, there are many extracts in the composition, which in combination with the sun and a photo-unstable filter, it is not known how they will affect the skin. Therefore, in spite of the natural-looking composition, I do not recommend it. Octinoxate may cause allergies.

4. SunscreencreamMySun SPF 30,from 3month

Safety Score: 3

Effectiveness score: 4

Octocrylene, Avobenzone, Titanium dioxide, Insulizol, Yuvinul Аplus

The photoprotection of this cream is good. But the composition of the base !! This cream has been marketed since 3 months, but here there is propylparaben, and fenoskiethanol, and methylisothiazolinone, and a perfume. Usually I have nothing against methylparaben, it is recognized as safe (which cannot be said about propylparaben), but applied to the skin can interact with UVB rays and accelerate skin aging. There is no point in writing about vitamin E. I would not buy such a cream for my child.

5. SunscreencreamMySun s SPF pf 50,from 1of the year.

Safety Score: 3

Effectiveness score: 4

Octocrylene, Titanium Dioxide, Juvinul Аplus, Avobenzone, Insulizol

The same as the previous one.

Individual intolerance to individual components.

Everyone's favorite summer gives heat, swimming in natural reservoirs and, of course, tanning. However, excess UV light can cause significant harm, which is why we use different protection for the skin. Sunscreens for children require especially careful study, because everything that concerns a child is chosen more carefully. And the requirements for children's caring cosmetics are set higher than for adults. In this article, we will consider which sunscreen for children to give preference to and what should be guided by when choosing.

For children's skin, ultraviolet light is a strong test, so it is necessary to use the cream constantly

Criterias of choice

Children's sunscreen should have two main properties:

  • firstly, it must protect well from ultraviolet rays;
  • secondly, he must take care of the delicate baby skin.

The thick cream does not rinse off as quickly as gels, sprays and mousses, so it provides longer, more reliable protection. It is for this reason that it is recommended to use a cream, and not other forms of release.

We have identified 3 main criteria to be guided by when buying sunscreen for children. We propose to study them in order to choose the most suitable one when buying.

Child's age

First of all, remember that any sunscreen is contraindicated for a newborn baby and up to 6 months. If the packaging says "for children", it means that this cream can be used by children from 3 years old. The inscription "from birth" says that the remedy is permissible only from six months. Only after 5 years can a child use those spf-protected products that are available for adults.



Up to 6 months, baby's skin should not be treated with sunscreen

Despite this, experts in the field of dermatology and cosmetology advise not to rub the child with any tanning products for up to one and a half or even up to 3 years. As a last resort, you can use those marked "baby" or "infant".

UV protection degree

This indicator is written on the package as an SPF index and numbers from 2 to 50. Here you should also know that children's sunscreen cream spf 50 is allowed only from 3 years old. The degree of protection does not depend on age, but on other factors. To determine it, analyze the following:

  1. What is your baby's skin? If it is light, then you need a cream with SPF 30-50. If the skin and eyes are dark, then 15-30.
  2. Where do you walk. For normal daily walks, 15-20 protection is sufficient. If you are going on a picnic to a local river, then 20-25. If you have a vacation at sea, then you need to take 25 and above.
  3. How long is your walk. If the index number is multiplied by 5, you get the duration of the sunscreen, but experts say that any sunscreen will last no more than 3 hours. If the child bathes, then this time is reduced even more.


After bathing, the protection of the cream is noticeably reduced, so it must be applied again

Compound

Another important factor is quality.

Products for children should be of natural plant origin, without chemical additives, fragrances and alcohol. The first indicator of their absence is a pleasant mild smell. An additional UVB filter is desirable, protecting not only from UVA rays, but also from constant short UVB rays.

In addition, the quality product has a uniform consistency. It absorbs well, does not leave greasy marks and does not feel like something superfluous on the body.

Do children need UV-protected cosmetics?

When choosing a sunscreen for children under one year and older, always read the ingredients carefully. Discard the purchase if it contains:

  1. Oxybenzone. Although this substance is permissible by the norms and is a component of many funds, it is known that it can change the hormonal background.
  2. Octyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methylobenzenemethane. These substances are also allowed, they block ultraviolet light and even moisturize the skin, but there is a high probability of their influence on the production of free radicals.
  3. Retinyl palmitate. It is an antioxidant that is added to cosmetics in order to improve their characteristics. It is used in anti-aging cosmetics, and in the sun it can have a mutagenic effect.
  4. Nanoparticles (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide). These substances accumulate in the body and can cause allergies, even change the structure of tissues.


Titanium dioxide is used in most sunscreen, however, it is difficult to call it harmless

The opinions of experts about the harm of the listed components differ. Some are categorically against their use. They are especially concerned about nanoparticles, since their effect on the human body is poorly understood. For example, reduced particles of zinc oxide (less than 100 nanometers) are toxic to the large intestine, so if a child accidentally tastes the cream, they are at great risk. The global danger of such funds is that their negative impact will manifest itself in future generations.

There is another category of specialists who are more loyal to these components. In their opinion, the use of sunscreen does not have a tangible effect on health. Ronald L. Moy, chairman of the American Academy of Dermatology, argues that most products are safe, and children and adolescents get the most harm from excessive sun exposure.

Statistics show that half of skin cancer cases are not confirmed, as it is often misdiagnosed instead of melanoma.

What to give preference to?

Let's see at what age you can use different sunscreen products for children:

  1. 0-6 months. No sunscreen is allowed for up to six months. Any components will be absorbed into the skin, penetrate into the bloodstream and have a detrimental effect on the liver.
  2. 6-12 months. These are hypoallergenic products sold in pharmacies. There are no chemical additives in them. Although their price is higher than average, they are very economically consumed. Recommended brands: Avene, Klorane, Mustela, Ducrey, Institut Esthederm, Bioderma, La Roche-Posay. Cheaper counterparts: Sanosan, Johnson's And Johnson's, Our mother. In an urban environment, such means should not be used. In extreme cases, it is permissible to apply them on the cheeks, nose and shoulders, and after the walk, be sure to wash the baby.
  3. 1-3 years. The brands Bubchen, CHICCO, Vichy are already allowed here.
  4. 3-4 years and older. Now you can buy any product for your child labeled "baby". Don't forget to do the mini allergy test anyway. Some lotions and sprays have dyes added so that you can visually check whether all areas of your skin have been treated. After contact with the skin, they gradually become colorless.

Now you have become aware of the main criteria for choosing children's sunscreen products and you can do the most right choice... It will maximize your child's benefit and save money.

Review of popular remedies

So, let's review the best tanning protection products. This list will consist of five positions. We will give not only characteristics, but also prices. This will help you find the best price-performance ratio, and your children will get good protection from excessive exposure to sunlight.

It costs a little more than the previous two - 1,300 rubles.



How do I apply sunscreen?

Always remember to use baby sunscreen during the summer season, when it is very hot and sunny. At the same time, any manufacturer warns that from 12 to 17 hours it is better to beware of walking in the sun, even with special means... Try to choose light and light clothes for the child, made of breathable fabrics.

When buying, be sure to look at the composition, manufacturer and certainly the expiration date. Test your skin for allergens before applying any sunscreen, even if the manufacturer claims it is 100% natural and hypoallergenic. To test the reaction, you need to apply a small amount of on the skin of the wrist or elbow and wait a little. If an allergy occurs, the skin will turn red at the site of application of the cream, a rash, peeling or burning may appear. If there is no reaction, then the remedy can be used in a day.

You should not apply sunscreen, lotion or spray before leaving your home, but 15-20 minutes before that. Don't use too much, just a thin layer is enough. Be sure to wash the treated skin immediately after walking.



After coming home, you need to wash off the remaining sunscreen from the child.

Curative and preventive measures

How to recognize a skin burn? This will be indicated by redness and a local increase in temperature. If you notice these signs, you need to immediately take your child home and give him a cool shower with a water temperature of + 25-28 degrees. You can cover your skin with a thin towel to neutralize discomfort... Then apply an anti-burn cream, which must necessarily contain panthenol or aloe (d-panthenol). You can not use fermented milk products, fatty and especially alcohol-containing products.

For prophylaxis, it is allowed to use waterproof creams with a factor above 30 that protect against UVA and UVB rays. In addition, if you are with children in the sun for a long time, wear additional protection - hats and glasses.

1. Mustela bebe Sunscreen cream for newborns SCF50 + (50ml.) Price about 1200 rubles

From them: Delicate baby skin reacts very negatively to aggressive sunlight. Therefore, it needs special care and protection. Children's sunscreen Mustela has a completely natural composition, perfectly protects the skin in two stages. On the surface protects it from burns and negative impact ultraviolet, infrared rays, creating a repellent layer. In the deep layers of the epidermis, it actively moisturizes and nourishes the skin with the necessary microelements to restore the natural protective reaction of the skin. Soft structure, pleasant aroma and natural composition does not cause allergies, easy to apply, gives instant results.

Gag: In general, I trust this company, the composition is without fragrances, dyes and alcohol, the cream has White color- which will allow you to notice not missed places. The reviews are good - here's an interesting excerpt from one thing:

... There are two, in my opinion, completely identical products: Mustela sunscreen cream baby SPF 50+ for especially sensitive areas 75 ml and Mustela sunscreen cream for children SPF 50+ for sensitive skin 50 ml. I still cannot understand the difference between them. The protection factor is the same, the tube is larger for the cream for sensitive areas, the price is the same. On the body, they both behave exactly the same. The only difference in composition is that there are more herbal supplements in the cream for sensitive areas. But then it should be more expensive, and there should be less of it in the tube, since there are fewer especially sensitive areas on the body than just sensitive skin. Why the first cream turns out to be cheaper, but at the same time it has a larger tube, I cannot understand. Therefore, if you are tormented by the question of which cream to choose, as I did in my time, take it for sensitive areas. There is more cream ...

A pleasant surprise, but still decided to find the composition, found in one negative feedback more than 10 unsafe components (I can give a link upon request))), as they explained to me, you can't put it here)), I was struck by a huge amount of unknown alcohol)) and perfume)) by the way, on the baby there is their blog where you can ask questions, interesting fact that from 3 months you can use SPF 20 and 30, and 50 only from a year, although everyone recommends 50 for little ones ...

Eva sun didn’t find a child, nor did we have a kedem

And lastly: I found an interesting information with regards to our little ones

... When is it necessary to use baby sun creams? - if you are going to the sea, go to city beaches or live in the summer in the country. A child walking in the usual mode does not need sunscreen. The indiscriminate use of this cosmetics, especially for children under one year old, can be harmful: allergies, stress on the liver. Considering the fact that not all mothers buy protective cosmetics for their child from the sun by age, and not any cream marked "for children" in the nearest stall.


If your child is not yet three years old, and your walking area does not allow you to get away from the sun, DO NOT use creams with the indication "baby" or "for sensitive and baby skin"! These products are suitable for children from 3-5 years old. Look for age recommendations. Some mothers choose cosmetics from the sun using the poke method - for example, they use Garnier, Nivey or Avon for small children. And then they are outraged: Christmas tree-sticks, why do they not indicate a specific age! They have already indicated everything: their funds are "children's". Not for newborns, not for babies, they are FOR CHILDREN. And what, a six-month-old baby, is he not "children" yet, or what? For industry, no. Quite different quality requirements.

For example, the products of the popular Mustela company have age indications: bebe or enfant. And for babies up to 1.5 years old, only Mustel's "sunscreen milk SPF50" is suitable, it has the mark "bebe". The CHICCO company has protective cosmetics for children "from birth" (in fact, from 6 months anyway) - this is a series with an orange stripe.

0 to 6 months: None of the existing sunscreens will work. The baby's skin absorbs everything so well that the components of the product can directly enter the circulatory system and inflict a tangible blow on the liver.

6-12 months: Choose sunscreen cosmetics available from pharmacies. These are special hypoallergenic series of high quality, they do not contain harmful chemicals. They are not cheap, but very economical to use. These are such companies as: Avene, Klorane, Mustela, Ducrey, Institut Esthederm, Bioderma. La Roche-Posay.

Economical option: Sanosan, Johnson "s And Johnson" s, Our mom. In a child under one year old, the skin also absorbs chemistry well, so for city walks it is better not to apply any cream - or lubricate only the cheeks, nose and shoulders, not forgetting to wash off the makeup after the walk.

From year: Bubchen, CHICCO, Vichy.

From 3-4 years old: any means marked "for children". Check for allergies. In this category, sun lotions and sprays are colored - in order to qualitatively color a restless child on the go, without missing a single area of ​​the skin. Colored products, getting on the skin, become transparent after a while ...

Somehow like this! I hope it is useful - all the good sun in the sky and healthy under the side;)

Ps personally, I am for Mustella, of all that has been calculated, I think for small children it is best they or la roche, IMHO
