Sun Creams and Lotions
Child and baby sun creams: a summer essential!
To protect your child's skin as summer approaches or during your holidays, doing winter sports or in the tropics, numerous brands offer specific sun protection products for children. A sun cream or lotion are an essential product for children during sun exposure to prevent sunburn, premature ageing and skin cancer in adulthood.
For children and babies, high (perhaps very high!) sun protection needs to be used, whatever their skin type. In this selection, put together by our pharmacists, you will only find sun protection products for children and babies that have SPF50 or higher.
Sun cream for children, formulated specifically for their delicate skin, does not contain allergens. Avène and La Roche Posay, two brands that have strict formulation charts, offer sun protection products of an excellent quality:
- Avène SPF50+ Spray for Kids, in a spray form, is water-resistant and endowed with soothing, anti-itch properties thanks to the thermal spring water it contains,
- La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dermo Pediatrics Spray SPF50+, is also resistant to water, sweat and sand.
And for tiny tots, Uriage offers their 1st Mineral Cream. This baby sun cream protects the skin against damage from UVA and UVB rays, all thanks to mineral filters. Also formulated with Uriage thermal spring water, it hydrates and soothes the skin.
