Kids' Sunscreen

Many pediatric guidelines advise keeping babies under six months out of direct sun, using shade and clothing rather than relying on sunscreen. For older babies and children, pick a product labelled for kids and check the age on the pack. If you're unsure, ask the pharmacist or your pediatrician.

SPF 30, like Bobai, may be enough for short daily outings when applied generously. For the beach, pool or long midday play, SPF 50 options such as Sanosan, Blankie or La Roche-Posay give a higher margin. Either way, reapply every two hours and after swimming or towel drying.

Sprays cover arms and legs quickly but can miss spots, so rub them in, and never spray directly near a child's face. Creams give more control on the face and dry patches. The 50 ml Blankie roll-on is small enough for a school bag for touch-ups.

Not necessarily. Price mostly reflects brand, size and texture rather than basic protection, so check the SPF on each pack. A 200 ml lotion like Bobai or Superkids suits heavy daily use. Cash on delivery is available, and orders arrive within 12–72 hours.

Try a small amount on the inner arm a day before the first full use. If redness, itching or stinging appears, wash it off and stop using the product. Ask the pharmacist for a gentler alternative, and see a doctor if the irritation persists or is severe.
