Product summary

We believe that "NIVEA Sun - Kids Protect & Care Sun Lotion SPF 50+" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This is a "mixed" sunscreen in the sense that it uses both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") sun filters. Here are the organic filters this product uses: oxybenzone, tinosorb s, avobenzone, uvinul a plus, octinoxate, octisalate, uvinul t, octocrylene and ensulizole. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
