We assess that "Nivea - SUN Kids Suncream Roll-On SPF50 Protect&Sensitive" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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).

This product should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

glycerin 3% - 3.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

panthenol 0.9% - 1.1%

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

copernicia cerifera cera 0.75% - 1.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Brazilian palm wax. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
