Done to death I know, but before I stick the factor 50 P20 in my Amazon basket what are people's best once a day very high factor suncreams for DC? Toddler DS is pale as milk and has my colouring and I burn v easily, last year he was non mobile and I could keep him in a shady buggy and slather him in cream every few hours (and in fact was very over careful and barely went out on sunnier/hotter days) but now I'd like to allow him to enjoy the sun sensibly and run around so want a once a day formula that's v high factor. I've seen some people rec some Australian brands but can't remember which?

Always check the back of the bottle for the UVA start rating. Nivia for example have 3. The best sun cream you can get is Boots Soltan.

They should have 5 stars I was meant to add. That's the highest protection. Boots Soltan have 5 stars. It's brilliant.

Ultra Sun is the best.

Soltan is great for UVA protection, but is really poor for UVB, I ended up getting Nivea as it seemed to have the best balance of UVA/UVB (although not the best for either)

We use Soltan Once as I hate constantly reapplying and we go camping so are out in the sun for hours. DH is very fair (once burned during a showery day!).

And word to the wise. Try is before you go on holiday. DS is horribly allergic to some brands.
