Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Nivea - SUN Kids Suncream Lotion Extra Water Resistant SPF 50+, Swim & Play" can offer reliable sun protection. 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. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. The organic filters in the product are: tinosorb s, avobenzone, uvinul a plus, octisalate, uvinul t, homosalate and ensulizole. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
