Finding the right sunscreen for children is critical because their skin is more sensitive than adults. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, just one blistering sunburn during childhood can double a person’s risk of developing melanoma later in life. This makes it crucial for parents to take sun protection seriously, especially when going outdoors.
However, chemical sunscreens penetrate the skin and contain ingredients that can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Mineral sunscreens, on the other hand, sit on top of the skin to deflect UV rays and do not get absorbed into the body, making them a safer option for children and adults with sensitive skin.
One great choice is the Biore UV Kids Pure Milk SPF50+ PA+++, which won Best Sunscreen for Kids in this year’s Best Beauty Buys. This pure mineral sunscreen provides adequate protection from harmful UV rays while being gentle on their delicate skin.
The Biore UV Kids Pure Milk is free from parabens, alcohol, fragrance and colourants. This means you can use it on your child’s skin without worrying about any harmful chemicals or potential irritation.
Suitable for children aged two and up, the formula is also gentle enough for those with sensitive skin, making it an excellent choice for parents who need to take extra care when choosing skincare products for their kids.
Formulated with Biore’s unique outer skin technology, the sunscreen creates a thin and even UV protection film that is lightweight, non-tacky and creates a second skin-like feel, making it comfortable to wear even for prolonged periods. Your child won’t feel weighed down or uncomfortable, and you won’t have to worry about them complaining about the sticky feeling or greasiness that other sunscreens can cause.
Editor Estelle Low, who is one of the judges for this year’s Best Beauty Buys, says: “It’s hard to get kids to love sunscreen, but my seven-year-old daughter enjoyed using this one because it’s super lightweight, smooth and pleasant to apply. Plus, the scent is very mild.”
The formula is also resistant against sweat, water, and friction, making it suitable for outdoor activities like swimming and sports. You can rest assured that your child will be protected from the sun’s harmful rays, even during long periods of physical activity.
The Biore UV Kids Pure Milk also contains moisturising ingredients such as Shea butter and Butylene Glycol, which help to keep your child’s skin hydrated and healthy too.
Another bonus: It’s easy to remove with soap!
