Water-resistant lotionFor pools and beaches; needs its own test

The adult formulas are covered on sunscreen manufacturer. Here the differences are in the filter choice, the finish and the label.

Design

What changes for children

✓Mineral filters are usual, with a finish that rubs in without a thick white cast.
✓Fragrance-free or very mildly scented to reduce irritation.
✓Avoid ingredients known to sting eyes where possible.
✓Tubes that are easy to hold and squeeze.
✓Colour or cartoon packs are a branding choice and need careful claims.
Safety

Be careful with the youngest

Guidance from paediatric bodies generally advises keeping babies under six months out of direct sun, so a sunscreen label should not suggest otherwise without advice. Age statements on the pack should be agreed with a qualified adviser.

Child-specific products are held to a higher standard. We recommend dermatological and patch testing before launch.
Testing

SPF and skin tests

The SPF claim needs a test report. A children’s claim such as hypoallergenic or dermatologically tested needs its own supporting test.

How we develop it

How we plan kids sunscreen

We begin with mineral filters and a gentle emulsion.

Skin and SPF tests are completed before launch.

Positioning
