Caribbean Blue Baby SunShield SPF15 - 120ml
SPECIAL OFFER - 40% OFF! No NANO particles! Baby Sun Shield is a unique 100% all-natural formula developed for the health conscious consumer & for the most sensitive skin types. Instead of synthetic chemical ingredients, it contains natural zinc oxide to soothe and protect the skin.
Natural tropical oils, botanical extracts, anti-oxidant vitamins, and pure essential oils are used for this completely natural, hypo-allergenic, non-whitening formula that protects, moisturises and soothes the skin. Sun Shield is formulated using the latest scientific research findings and information on sun protection: UVB rays are mostly involved with sunburns, while the deeper penetrating UVA rays are involved with premature aging, wrinkling and even skin cancers.
Many chemical sunscreens protect only from UVB rays, & allow penetration of damaging UVA rays. Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA-recognized as having both UVB and UVA broad-spectrum protection, as well as having therapeutic benefits. Many healthcare practitioners believe that a Sun Protection Factor of 15 (SPF 15) is basically all that is needed for overall protection from the sun. An SPF 15 blocks 93.3% of the sun’s UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 96.7%. Therefore, the SPF 15 provides a level of maximal screening of the suns rays, and SPF values above this point give less and less added protection. The Caribbean Blue BabySun SPF15 is adequate protection provided the baby or child is not in full sunlight all day . (Please note that babies under the age of 6 months should not go in the sun) You should also be very careful with children under the age of 3, keeping them out of hot sun between the hours of 11 am and 3 pm and all children should wear protective clothing and hats during the hottest part of the day. For extra protection during swimming and if out on the water, you may want to consider using the SunShield Sport SPF15 or SPF25.
There is also a growing body of evidence to suggest that a little sunshine is good for your skin giving your body important amounts of Vitamin D which is difficult to get through a normal diet. As in most things in life, moderation is the key; only you know your own body, how it tans and how it reacts to the sun.

the perfect sun protection for children and adults Review by Dora
Rating We've been using this product since last year whenever needed, and the whole family is happy with it. Both my small daughter and my husband have pale skin, and they never suffer a sunburn if they use this product. It's great and most importantly NATURAL!!!! (Posted on 7/26/11)

Great for babies, maybe not for adults Review by fiona
Rating I bought the baby lotion as I have very sensitive skin. The product info did say that the sunscreen was almost invisible however I did find that it left me with a white coating on my skin. Also the sun protection was that good I did not get a tan at all even though I was in 28-30 degree sun for 3 solid days. I don't think I would buy this again for the above 2 reasons, although I'm sure it would be brilliant for babies. The product did smell lovely though (Posted on 8/27/10)

Excellent Product Review by Beth
Rating I am just after returning from a weeks holiday is Spain. I have to say it is the first time in years I was able to enjoy the sun without any prickly heat rash or most importantly any allergic reaction from the sun creams that I had previously used. It is easily applied as long as you shake it well first and it is left at room temp etc. Yes, it does leave your skin slightly white looking once applied but is easily washed of at the end of the day. Further more I have returned with a lovely golden tan. I would most definitely recommend this sunshield. Many thanks. (Posted on 7/25/10)
