Which brand of children's sunscreen is good and safe? What should you pay attention to when choosing children's sunscreen?

Children's sun protection knowledge is not only for holding on to the whiteness. Children's skin is thin and delicate and can be burned by the sun. Some more serious burns may even increase the baby's risk of skin cancer in the future. Good sun protection can help protect the baby's skin health. So, which brand of sunscreen is safest for children?

What to pay attention to when choosing children's sunscreen

1. Mainly based on physical sun protection, gentle and non-irritating. It does not contain any toxic or harmful biochemical substances such as UV chemical absorbers. Whether it is sun protection for adults or babies, you must avoid these minefields: sunscreen products containing ingredients such as benzophenone, para-aminobenzoic acid and its esters (which can easily cause skin allergies or photosensitivity reactions) and vitamin A palmitate (which may cause cancer).

2. Broad-spectrum sunscreen that can effectively block UVA/UVB. It does not contain PABA (a chemical sunscreen that can easily cause skin sensitivity) and is effectively waterproof.

3. Non-invasive formula, non-staining. Refreshing, non-greasy and easy to wash off.

4. Especially do not use spray-type sunscreen on babies. First, the sun protection time is short and needs to be reapplied frequently. Second, the spray can easily be accidentally inhaled by the baby when used, such as getting into the eyes or nose.

5. When we usually buy sunscreen, we always pursue a high SPF index, thinking that the higher the SPF index, the better the sun protection effect. But in fact, it is completely unnecessary for babies. It is not recommended to use sunscreen for babies under 6 months old. If they are over 6 months old, you can choose SPF between 15 and 30.

6. Don’t use adult sunscreen on babies. For convenience, some people use their own sunscreen directly on their babies. However, the content of various ingredients in adult sunscreens is different from that in baby sunscreens, which may cause harm to baby's delicate skin. Choose a fragrance-free, mild infant sunscreen for your baby.
