Choosing the best sunscreen for kids means looking beyond the SPF number. Children’s skin needs dependable protection from both UVA and UVB rays, along with a formula that feels comfortable enough to use regularly. The NHS recommends using at least SPF 30 with strong UVA protection, alongside shade, protective clothing and other sun safety measures.
Lav Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen is formulated with non nano zinc oxide and is designed for children aged 3 years and above. The formula is dermatologically tested and includes ingredients such as glycerin, niacinamide and panthenol to help support comfortable, hydrated skin. It is also free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates, mineral oil and silicones.
When choosing a children's sunscreen, consider:
- Broad spectrum protection: Look for protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Suitable SPF: The NHS advises using at least SPF 30 for children.
- Skin friendly formulation: A gentle formula can be particularly useful for young or sensitive skin.
- Water resistance: Useful for swimming, active play and days when children may sweat.
- Easy application: A sunscreen that spreads comfortably makes it easier to apply enough product.
- Reapplication: Sunscreen should be reapplied regularly and after swimming, sweating or towel drying, following the product instructions.
Remember that sunscreen should not be the only form of sun protection. Encourage children to spend time in the shade, wear suitable clothing and use a sun hat when outdoors.
