Surely you have already asked yourself which sunscreen is best for your child?
In babies and the children's, due to the immaturity of the sweat and sebaceous glands, the production of sebum and sweat is not fully developed. This results in the existence of an impoverished and deficient Hydrolipidic Film, and, consequently, a compromised skin barrier function that is susceptible to contamination and external aggressions.
For this reason, the skin of babies and children is also particularly vulnerable to sun exposure.
You should choose a sunscreen:
✓ that is able to ensure maximum sun protection against UVA and UVB radiation
✓ that is safe for the baby's and child's skin
✓ that is practical to use and easy to apply
