A very high protection lotion for children who play in the sun
Avène Sun Very High Protection Lotion for Children SPF50+ is a very high protection sunscreen lotion made for children's delicate skin. Its photostable SunSitive Protection filter system shields against UVA and UVB and helps limit the oxidative stress caused by free radicals. The formula is very water resistant and also resists sweat and sand, so protection holds during swimming and outdoor play. It also moisturises the upper layers of the skin and has been tested under dermatological and paediatric control.
The texture
A light, fluid lotion that spreads easily and absorbs quickly, so application is quick even with a wriggly child. It is fragrance-free.
Who it suits
- Children from 3 years, including sensitive skin
- Beach days, pool time and outdoor sport
- Adults with sensitive skin who want a fragrance-free lotion
- Families sharing one large bottle
Worth knowing before you buy: no sunscreen gives full protection. Reapply every two hours and after swimming, keep children out of the midday sun, and use hats and clothing as well.
