Kids suncream

Hi can anyone recommend a kids suncream (sensitive) that will not stain their white school polos and clothes? I went through loads last year even though I applied it before they got dressed. I wonder if it’s the sweat and cream combined that’s staining the clothes? Thanks

I think they all tend to stain but

I can't guarantee that they won't stain, but the Elbow Grease spray is pretty good at removing stains

Nivea Sun do a spray like hairspray - quick easy and no sticky hands

Combine this with a solid stick - boots own £3 for faces - buy a few for school or the car incase you’ve been caught out and stay somewhere longer.

Watch if you are using the spray ones. They tend to not spray evenly.

All the sensitive ones I've used seem to stain more. The most sensitive ones are zinc based and it turns white collars yellow.

Altruist. (I buy it off Amazon) I use the cream in the morning and the spray for top ups (I top up after school, more often if it's not a school day) No staining. No sunburn. It's the absolute best.

Nivea irritated my sons eczema so we never went back to it. Shame as you can get it on offer

Oh this may explain it! Its so annoying as I used so many sprays and it wouldn’t remove the stains. Which one do you use?

If they have eczema then I highly recommend the Aloe Vera sun cream - they have lovely soft skin by the end of summer!!

Does it have an UBA rating?
