Best none toxic high factor sun cream for young children?

What do you mean "non toxic"? Anything you can buy in the supermarket is safe.

The supermarket ones perform really well in tests. Look for 5* UVA protection.

I'm guessing you don't want to put chemicals on your child's skin... but there ain't much more toxic than skin cancer. Please make sure whatever you use is properly protective.

I don't think that anything we can buy in this country is toxic. For a start it would be illegal to sell it. Some people react to some brands, but it doesn't mean it is toxic.

Get a physical blocker one.

My dermatologist prescribed Sun Sense sensitive for me (I have spectacular sunscreen allergies) which is factor 50 and works well.

Not sure what you mean by non-toxic... we swear by the Aldi Lacura 50 spf range which is very good. We also make the kids wear rash vests in the pool when it's hot or we're overseas.

Boots own kids range. Easy to apply, stays on for ages and non animal tested

Yep Sunsense is excellent and free of many of the so-called nasties

Well, it looks like the range of "non toxic" is actually much smaller than we could've imagined. Here's an article in today's Telegraph:

We use badger baby, which doesn't seem to cause any reaction on DD's skin (she's 7 months) and the ingredients list isn't too bad from a potentially harmful chemical point of view.

Hmm, premature ageing or skin cancer? Are women really vain enough to ditch the sunscreen because they're worried about a few wrinkles?

I don't think the article is suggesting ditching sunscreen Poppy. I think it's just recommending you use one that uses ME technology
