 Aloe
Up Lil Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ - 8/10
Waterproof sunscreen with 30% aloe vera gel
Price: £11.50 for 120ml
Supplier: www.blockshop.co.uk
Telephone: 01264 386034
'Smells of summer!'
 A waterproof, biodegradable
sunscreen that contains 30% aloe vera and sinks into the skin quickly
- leaving your child's skin protected for a decent length of time. The
tear-free, non-sticky cream is also alcohol-free meaning it's also good
for sensitive skins.
 You need to apply
quite a bit to get good coverage so the 120ml tube runs out quickly.
 Banana
Boat Kids Tear Free Ultramist SPF50 8/10
Water resistant lotion spray with advanced UVA/B sunscreen
Telephone: 01954 719899
Supplier: www.bananaboat.co.uk
'The kids favourite'
'It has
a super-high SPF, advanced UVA/B sunscreens and is by far, the most appealing
bottle for kids. The ultra mist spray is refreshingly easy to apply to
skin and gives fast, even coverage in the nic of time'.
You
need to re-apply regularly, especially after swimming (though a little
does go a long way). Our panel also found the nozzle a little stiff to
operate.
 Green
People Organic Children Sun Lotion SPF25 - 10/10
Lavender-infused, water resistant sun lotion
Price: £13.50 for 150ml
Telephone: 0870 240 6894
Supplier: www.greenbaby.co.uk
'The best on test'
Good for
sensitive skins, this chemical-free, natural sun lotion is made from mineral
pigments with a sweet mix of aloe vera, edelweiss and elderflower. It's
also non greasy and leaves your child's skin with a beautifully light
lavender fragrance.
A bit
pricey for 150ml (but well worth it, according to our panel!)'.
 Lavera
Baby & Child Sun Neutral Spray SPF30 - 8.5/10
100% mineral based sun spray for sensitive skin or those
prone to allergies
Price: £14.45 for 200ml
Supplier: www.lavera.co.uk
Telephone: 01557 870 203
'Great for all the family'
Completely chemical-free
with liquorice and evening primrose oil to protect sensitive skin, this
fragrance-free spray is easy to apply and rub into skin. Our panel felt
the lotion provided 'brilliant protection' and lasted a long time before
another application was required.
It's quite pricey
and leaves a bit of a musty scent on the skin.
 SunSense
Toddler Milk SPF50 8/10
Lightweight travel system
Price: £5.95 for a 50ml roll on
Supplier: www.sunsense.co.uk
or see
babyworld shop for a Baby Banz hat and Sunsense pack
'The best for application'
A smooth,
easily dissolvable cream that contains lower levels of chemicals and a
super-high sun protection factor. It's also non greasy and really easy
to apply which surprised our panel as 'most factor 50's have a thick and
gloopy consistency'
The bottle
is small so not best if you want it to last for the duration of summer.
 Yaoh
Organic Hemp Seed Oil SPF30 - 9/10
Vegan, paraben-free sun lotion for all the family
Price: £9.95 for 240ml
Supplier: www.earthlets.co.uk
Telehone: 0845 072 4462
'Superb value for money'
It has
a rather yummy coconut scent and you got a lot of lotion for your money.
It's also free from all unnecessary chemicals and contains organic hemp
seed oil to moisturise and rejuvenate the skin.
You have
to apply 30 minutes before sun exposure so you need to be organised!
