7 pediatric sunscreens recommended by dermatologists

Discover the best sunscreens for children

The skin of babies and children is much more delicate than that of adults. Their skin's defense system is still developing, making them more vulnerable to damage caused by sun exposure. Therefore, protecting them from the first months of life is not just a recommendation, but a necessity. Read on, and we'll tell you why it's so important to protect their skin from the sun and which sunscreens dermatologists recommend to protect the skin of little ones.

Why is it so important to protect children's skin from the sun?

Unprotected sun exposure during childhood can have long-term negative consequences. Furthermore, children's skin has less melanin, the natural pigment that protects us from UV rays, making them much more susceptible to sunburn.

80% of sun damage occurs before the age of 18.
A single severe burn in childhood doubles the risk of melanoma later in life.
Children's skin is thinner and more permeable, making it more sensitive to chemical ingredients.

When to start using sunscreen?

Dermatologists agree that babies should be protected from the sun from day one, before 6 months. It is best to avoid direct sun exposure altogether . Protective clothing, umbrellas, and keeping babies in the shade are recommended. After 6 months, you can begin using broad-spectrum sunscreen specifically for babies, as long as it is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and contains physical (mineral) filters . It is also recommended that sunscreens with SPF 50+, as recommended by dermatologists, be used.
