1. Mustela bebe Sun protection cream for newborns SCF50+ (50 ml) price about 1200 ru
From them: Delicate children's skin reacts very negatively to aggressive sunlight. Therefore, it needs special care and protection. Children's sunscreen Mustela has a completely natural composition, perfectly protects the skin in two stages. On the surface, it protects it from burns and the negative effects of ultraviolet, infrared rays, creating a repulsive layer. In the deep layers of the epidermis, it actively moisturizes and saturates the skin with the necessary microelements to restore the natural protective reaction of the skin. Soft texture, pleasant aroma and natural composition does not cause allergies, easy to apply, gives instant results.
Gag: In general, I trust this company, the composition is without fragrances, dyes and alcohol, the cream has White color- which will allow you to notice not missed places. The reviews are good - here's an interesting excerpt from one:
… There are two, in my opinion, absolutely identical products: Mustela Sunscreen for children SPF 50+ for especially sensitive areas 75 ml and Mustela Sunscreen for children SPF 50+ for sensitive skin 50 ml. I still don't understand the difference between them. The protection factor is the same, the tube is larger for the cream for sensitive areas, the price is the same. On the body, they both also behave in exactly the same way. The only difference in composition is that there are more herbal supplements in the cream for sensitive areas. But then it should also cost more, and there should be less of it in the tube, because there are fewer especially sensitive areas on the body than just sensitive skin. Why the first cream is cheaper, but the tube is larger, I can’t understand. Therefore, if you are tormented by the question of which cream to choose, as I once did, take it for sensitive areas. There is more cream...

Eva sun did not find children's and kedem too
And finally: I found interesting information about our little ones
... When should you use baby sunscreen? - if you are going to the sea, go to city beaches or live in the country in the summer. A child walking normally does not need sun protection. The indiscriminate use of these cosmetics, especially for children under one year old, can be harmful: allergies, stress on the liver. Considering the fact that not all mothers buy protective cosmetics for their child from the sun by age, and not any cream marked “children's” in the nearest stall.
If your child is under three years old, and your walking area does not allow you to hide from the sun in a good way, DO NOT use creams marked “childish” or “for sensitive and children's skin”! These funds are suitable for children from 3-5 years. Look for age recommendations. Some mothers choose sun cosmetics using the poke method - for example, they use Garnier, Nivea or Avon products for small children. And then they are indignant: Christmas trees, sticks, why don’t they indicate a specific age! They have already indicated everything: their funds are “children's”. Not for newborns, not for toddlers, they are FOR CHILDREN. And what, a six-month-old child, he is not yet "children", or what? For industry, no. Quite different quality requirements.
For example, the products of the popular Mustela company have age indications: bebe or enfant. And for babies up to 1.5 years old, only Mustel's “sun protection milk SPF50” is suitable, it has the “bebe” mark on it. At CHICCO, protective cosmetics for children “from birth” (in fact, it doesn’t matter from 6 months) is a series with an orange stripe.
0 to 6 months: none of the existing ones will fit sunscreens. The baby's skin absorbs everything so well that the components of the product can directly enter the circulatory system and cause a significant blow to the liver.
6-12 months: Choose sun protection products that are sold in pharmacies. These are special high quality hypoallergenic series, they do not contain harmful chemicals. They are not cheap, but very economical to use. These are such companies as: Avene, Klorane, Mustela, Ducrey, Institut Esthederm, Bioderma. La Roche Posay.
Economical option: Sanosan, Johnson "s And Johnson" s, Our mother. In a child up to a year old, the skin still absorbs chemicals well, so for urban walks it is better not to apply any cream - or lubricate only the cheeks, nose and shoulders, not forgetting to wash off the makeup after the walk.
From year: Bubchen, CHICCO, Vichy.
From 3-4 years old: any products marked "children's". Check for allergies. In this category, lotions and sprays from the sun are colored - in order to qualitatively color them with a restless child on the go, without missing a single patch of skin. Colored products, getting on the skin, after a while become transparent.
Somehow like this! I hope it's useful - all the best sun in the sky and healthy under the side;)
Ps personally, I am for mustella, from everything calculated, I think for little children they are best or la roche, IMHO
Store at room temperature
Method of application (description)

Salmina Anna Moscow | November 14, 2017 |
This cream is intended for children. For children - excellent. Yes, it is white at first - in order to distribute and spread everywhere (I had such that the unsmeared areas burned when the cream was transparent).
Perfect for a child. Protects perfectly, the child under the sun until 12 days did not tan at all. But we sat under an umbrella almost always.
Good for adults too. When you apply, as if in plastic bag you sit, but the skin will thank you. I didn’t roll down, because I regularly peel the skin of the body. And I advise everyone!
Mansurova Elizabeth St. Petersburg | 06/30/2017 |
I have never seen a more disgusting sunscreen.
1. The texture is not invisible at all. When applied, if you sweat a little, then immediately the whole cream rolls off.
2. Absorbed poorly.
3. Not waterproof. After swimming (either in the sea or in the pool), the cream completely drains from the body with stains.
4. Leaves a sticky layer.
5. Enjoyed all 10 days of rest and the whole family burned out repeatedly. Doesn't protect at all.
5. The worst thing. Because of it, an uneven "dirty" tan was obtained in pieces all over the body, which now cannot be blocked. And this is due to the fact that the cream is unevenly distributed over the skin, although this is not visible to the eye, and after bathing it begins to drain. Of course, after bathing, everyone dried themselves with a towel and applied the cream again, as indicated on the package, which caused additional "dirty" tan stains all over the body.
So also permanent burns in addition.
Svetlana Svetlana Moscow | 12/13/2016 |
Excellent protection from the sun (and this is the main thing!) I have a very white sensitive skin. As part of modern maximum safe filters.
Does not contain alcohol, which means it does not dry out the skin.
A pleasant thick milk is well distributed over the skin, not sticky, it does not feel like a film under which it is hot. (for SPF 50+ this is already a big plus).
It does not stain clothes, which Garnier sins.
Rasputina Tatiana | 02.09.2016 |
Efficiency: score 5
I bought funds for myself, because. what is suitable for children is suitable for everyone. The spray adequately protects from the sun, while caring for the skin: nourishes and moisturizes. However, in my opinion, it loses to a similar remedy from La Roche-Posay, because. has a thicker, richer texture, which is why it is felt on the skin. But this is not a minus, but a matter of taste.
Texture: score 5
White thick milk in the form of a spray. It is sprayed in the form of a dense jet, it is necessary to make efforts to distribute the product over the skin.
Economy / Consumption: score 5
Usual consumption for this class care products.
Conclusions: A decent product, but personally I prefer a similar product from another pharmacy brand.
Inna Yakutia | 07/04/2016 |
Efficiency: score 5
I read the reviews about this product and decided to buy! Avene is great as always. Great for my kids (5yrs and 1yr) and me (I have dry, atopic skin and it's hard to find something). Absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. Does not vibe the skin (like other products). Does its job well.
Texture: score 5
White milk with a slight smell.
Economy / Consumption: score 5
Consumption is small. A few squirts are enough to apply all over the body. use by the whole family.
Conclusions: I will take every summer. No desire to buy something else.
by all favorite summer gives heat, swimming in natural reservoirs and, of course, a tan. However, too much ultraviolet light can do a lot of harm, so we use different skin protection. Particularly careful study requires sunscreen for children, because everything that concerns a child is chosen more carefully. Yes, and the requirements for children's caring cosmetics are set higher than for adults. In our article, we will look at which sunscreen for children to prefer and what should be followed when choosing.
For children's skin, ultraviolet is a strong test, so you need to use the cream constantly. Criterias of choice
Children's sunscreen should have two main properties:
- firstly, it must protect well from ultraviolet rays;
- secondly, he must take care of delicate baby skin.
A thick cream does not rinse off as quickly as gels, sprays and mousses, so it creates a longer lasting and reliable protection. It is for this reason that it is recommended to use a cream, and not other forms of release.
We have identified 3 main criteria that you should be guided by when buying sunscreen for children. We invite you to study them in order to choose the most suitable one when buying.
Child's age
First of all, remember that any sunscreen is contraindicated for a newborn child and up to 6 months. If the package says “children”, this means that this cream can be used by children from 3 years old. The inscription "from birth" indicates that the remedy is only valid from six months. Only after 5 years can a child use those products with spf protection that are available for adults.
Before 6 months, the baby's skin should not be treated with sunscreen. Despite this, experts in the field of dermatology and cosmetology advise not to rub the child with any means of sunburn until one and a half or even up to 3 years. As a last resort, you can use those marked "baby" or "infant".
Degree of UV protection
This indicator is written on the packaging in the form of an SPF index and numbers from 2 to 50. Here you should also know that children's sunscreen spf 50 is only allowed from 3 years old. The degree of protection does not depend on age, but on other factors. To determine it, consider the following:
- What kind of skin does your child have? If it is light, then you need a cream with SPF 30-50. If the skin and eyes are dark, then 15-30.
- Where do you walk. For normal daily walks, 15-20 protection is enough. If you go on a picnic to the local river, then 20-25. If you have a vacation at sea, then you need to take 25 and above.
- How long is your walk. If the number in the index is multiplied by 5, you get the duration of the sunscreen, but experts say that any protective sunscreen lasts no more than 3 hours. If the child bathes, then this time is reduced even more.
After bathing, the protection of the cream is noticeably reduced, so it needs to be applied again. Compound
Another important factor is quality.
Means for children should be of natural plant origin, without chemical additives, fragrances and alcohol. The first indicator of their absence is a pleasant unsharp smell. An additional UVB filter is desirable, protecting not only from UVA rays, but also from permanent short UVB rays.
In addition, a quality product has a uniform consistency. It absorbs well, does not leave greasy marks and does not feel like something superfluous on the body.
Do children need cosmetic products with UV protection?
When choosing a sunscreen for children up to a year and older, always read the ingredients carefully. Refuse to buy if it contains:
- Oxybenzone. Although this substance is acceptable by the standards and is a component of many drugs, it is known that it can change the hormonal background.
- Octyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methylbenzenemethane. These substances are also allowed, they block UV and even moisturize the skin, but there is a high probability of their influence on the production of free radicals.
- Retinyl palmitate. It is an antioxidant that is added to cosmetical tools in order to improve their performance. It is used in anti-aging cosmetics, and in the sun it can have a mutagenic effect.
- Nanoparticles (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide). These substances accumulate in the body and can cause allergies, even change the structure of tissues.
Titanium dioxide is used in most sunscreens, but it's hard to call it harmless. The opinions of experts about the harm of these components differ. Some are categorically against their use. They are especially concerned about nanoparticles, since their effect on the human body is poorly understood. For example, reduced zinc oxide particles (less than 100 nanometers) have a toxic effect on the large intestine, so if a child accidentally tastes the cream, he is at great risk. The global danger of such funds is that they negative impact manifest itself in future generations.
There is another category of specialists who are more loyal to these components. According to them, the use of sunscreen does not have a tangible effect on health. Ronald L. Moy, chairman of the American Academy of Dermatology, says most products are safe and the greatest harm children and teenagers get from excessive sun exposure.
Statistics show that half of the cases of skin cancer are not confirmed, because it is often mistakenly diagnosed instead of melanoma.
What to give preference?
Let's see at what age you can use different sunscreen for children:
- 0-6 months. Until six months, no sunscreen is allowed. Any components will be absorbed into the skin, penetrate into the bloodstream and adversely affect the liver.
- 6-12 months. These are hypoallergenic products sold in pharmacies. They do not contain chemical additives. Although their price is above average, they are very economically spent. Recommended brands: Avene, Klorane, Mustela, Ducrey, Institut Esthederm, Bioderma, La Roche-Posay. Cheaper alternatives: Sanosan, Johnson's And Johnson's, Our Mom. In an urban environment, such means should not be used. In extreme cases, it is permissible to apply them on the cheeks, nose and shoulders, and after a walk, be sure to wash the baby.
- 1-3 years. The use of Bubchen, CHICCO, Vichy brands is already allowed here.
- 3-4 years and older. Now you can buy for the child any product marked "children's". Don't forget to do a mini allergy test anyway. Dyes are added to some lotions and sprays so that you can visually check whether all areas of the skin have been treated. After contact with the skin, they gradually become colorless.
Now you have become aware of the main criteria for choosing children's sunscreens and you can make the most right choice. He will bring maximum benefit your child and save money.

How to apply sunscreen?
Always remember to use baby sunscreen in summer season when it is very hot and sunny. At the same time, any manufacturer warns that from 12 to 17 hours it is better to beware of walking in the sun, even with special means. Try to choose clothes for the child that are light and light, made of breathable fabrics.
When buying, be sure to look at the composition, manufacturer and certainly the expiration date. Before using any sunscreen, test your skin's reaction to allergens, even if the manufacturer claims it's 100% natural and hypoallergenic. To test the reaction, you need to apply a small amount to the skin of the wrist or elbow and wait a bit. If an allergy manifests itself, then the skin will turn red at the site of application of the cream, a rash, peeling or burning may appear. If there is no reaction, then after a day you can use the remedy.
Apply sunscreen, lotion or spray not before leaving their house, but 15-20 minutes before. Don't use too much, a thin layer is enough. Immediately after the walk, be sure to wash the skin areas that have been treated.
After coming home, you need to wash off the remnants of sunscreen from the child. Treatment and preventive measures
How to recognize a burn on the skin? This will be indicated by redness and a local increase in temperature. If you notice these signs, you should immediately take the child home and give him a cool shower with a water temperature of +25-28 degrees. You can cover the skin with a thin towel to neutralize discomfort. Then apply an anti-burn cream, which must necessarily contain panthenol or aloe (d-panthenol). Do not use fermented milk products, fatty and especially alcohol-containing products.
For prevention, it is allowed to use waterproof creams with a factor above 30, which protect against UVA and UVB rays. In addition, if you and your children are in the sun for a long time, wear additional protection - hats and glasses.
