BIOSOLIS Kids Sun Milk Sunscreen Spf 50
Works for
Sun protectionSPF 50 · 1 UV filter · Broad spectrumWeak protectionLow zinc dose
This product uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide a reliable sun protection.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Coconut alkanes, Polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate + 8 moreWorks
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, coco-caprylate/caprate.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Product summary
We are worried that "BIOSOLIS - Kids Sun Milk Sunscreen Spf 50 -. Pack of 2" might not be able to provide reliable sun protection because it uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively weak concentration.
It should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day.
