Did you know that a child’s skin is four times thinner than an adult’s? This means that little ones are far more susceptible to sunburn and the long-term consequences of sun damage. As a parent, understanding these risks is crucial when choosing a sunscreen.
Thankfully, Mustela Very High Protection Sun Lotion SPF50+ goes beyond just blocking harmful UV rays. Its unique formula is packed with nourishing ingredients (think avocado oil and Vitamin E) and advanced sun protection technology to safeguard your littlie’s skin – while moisturising it and protecting the skin’s natural barrier function all at the same time.
Mustela Very High Protection Sun Lotion SPF50+ contains Avocado Perseose®, a patented natural ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier function and preserves cell strength. This is particularly important for those with sensitive or atopic skins. One of my twin boys, William, is prone to eczema and skin irritation, and I’ve found that this is one of the only sunscreens that doesn’t cause irritation. (In fact, there are several Mustela products that I’ve recently started incorporating into the twins’ skincare routine and his skin has never been better… but that’s a story for another post!)
Mustela Very High Protection Sun Lotion SPF50+ also contains Vitamin E, which boasts antioxidant properties to help protect skin cells, preserves the skin’s natural defenses, and helps to prevent damage caused by the sun’s harmful rays.
Some of the things I love MOST about Mustela Very High Protection Sun Lotion SPF50+
- It’s easy to apply and isn’t remotely sticky
- It’s very water resistant, and is also sand resistant – a huge win with two wild toddlers that love to roll around in the sand!
- It’s suitable for the whole family, including pregnant women and newborns out of NICU in the case of unavoidable sun exposure
- It’s fragrance-free
- It’s ideal for atopic skin types and sensitive skins
- It feels very nourishing on the skin
- It doesn’t sting my littlies’ eyes
