ultrasun SPF 50 Baby Mineral Sun Cream, 100 ml

Product Information

I wear shade ivory as my tone is quite fair, but it’s also available in a honey shade, which would be better for people who have darker skin tones. If your skin isn’t susceptible to sun sensitivities but you are planning to go away somewhere or live somewhere with very intense heart conditions, then the Extreme Sun Protection SPF 50+ would still be a good shout due to the very high protection it offers and the high absorption of UVA rays. It depends on the UV index. But as a general rule, if the UV index is above 3, then high factor (SPF 30 or higher) broad spectrum (with UVA protection) is advised,’ says Abbott. If you’re in your twenties like me, ageing might not be your biggest concern right now. However, I know that my future self will thank me if I start thinking about skin-ageing now and doing what I can to protect against wrinkles and fine lines from appearing.

However, it’s important that parents don’t rely on sun cream as the only method of sun protection for their child. Generally, sun creams for children tend to be a higher protection factor (SPF 50+) and fragrance free – to reduce the number of potential allergens in the sun cream,’ says Dr Rachel Abbott, consultant dermatologist and British Skin Foundation spokesperson. To make it easy for you to find your best Ultrasun sun protection formula, I’ve rounded up their top ten best-selling icons to give you the lowdown on why you need to try this expert suncare, but first, let me just answer some of your burning questions about Ultrasun as a whole and why I love them so much:

In harmony with people, environment and science

When protecting your baby and child from the sun, you should take a multifaceted approach, and not rely on one method more than another. These should include: Wear a hat There are various factors at play including whether enough sunscreen was applied, whether it was water resistant and your child was getting wet or sweating, and whether there was any transfer onto towels or clothing,’ says Pyle. There are many factors that make Ultrasun stand out from its competitors. From their ethical values to their clean formulations, their weightless textures to their long-lasting protection – there’s a lot that makes Ultrasun special. Some kids’ sun creams are brightly coloured to help parents see if they’ve missed a spot and make application fun, while others come in a spray or roll-on to make application easier for fidgety children. I’m not someone who wears foundation every day anyway, so I love the light unifying sheen that this sunscreen provides. It gives an effortlessly flawless “no makeup” look while concealing any imperfections. Who doesn’t want to look naturally airbrushed?

It’s important to remember that if your child goes red and burns in the sun while wearing a high SPF sun cream, it's not necessarily because the UVA star rating is too low. Why I love it: One of the reasons I love Ultrasun so much is that they cater for everyone. The Anti-Ageing & Anti-Pigmentation sunscreen is the ideal choice if you struggle with areas of pigmentation and UV-induced dark spots.They should be used from the age of three (find sunglasses that have an elastic strap so they stay on) and should carry the European Standard "CE" mark and the British Standard BSEN 1836:1997. Use a sunshade on buggies and prams SPF is one of the best anti-ageing steps you can take, and it’s more effective the earlier you start as the majority of premature skin ageing comes from damaging UV rays. This is why I always start my day off with a hard-working sunscreen that I can wear under my makeup and provide all-day protection. They both offer the same level of performance. However, it’s always best to use caution and ensure your child doesn’t have an allergic reaction to the product, so try it before you head out into the sun,’ says Saul Pyle, a sun cream expert and Technical Director for Skinterest, which carries out research and development on skincare products. What type of sun cream is easier to apply – lotion or spray?

Because of their use of lamellar technology, Ultrasun sunscreens will typically provide all-day protection from just one application. This can factor on skin tone and heat extremity, but the water-resistant formula will ensure long-lasting sun defence.Their SPF 50 products are PA++++ and the SPF 30 products are PA+++, which is not unusual considering that these are European sunscreens. European sunscreens with a circle around the letters UVA means that the PPD is 1/3 of the advertised SPF. As I learned from u/Peter_789's comment, SPF 50 + means the SPF is >59.9 and so the PPD is at least 20. Yes! Ultrasun is Eco Pass Approved, and they’re the only suncare brand in the world to be accredited with this award. This means that their sunscreens are biodegradable and don’t cause harm to the environment, coral reef or aquatic life.
