Little Warriors Mineral Sun Cream SPF30

Protecting young skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is crucial, not just to prevent immediate sunburns but also to minimise the risk of skin cancer later in life. While babies under 6 months should primarily rely on shade and clothing for sun protection, this Little Warriors Mineral Sun Cream SPF30 is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, making it safe for use from birth and for all sensitive skin types.

This sun cream offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, while UVA rays contribute to skin ageing and increase the risk of skin cancer. Many sunscreens offer limited UVA protection, but this formula has been clinically tested to ensure comprehensive coverage.

The key active ingredient is ZinClear® XP, a pharmaceutical-grade non-nano zinc oxide. This innovative ingredient provides high SPF with exceptional transparency, meaning it won't leave an unacceptable white cast on the skin. It's also listed as non-carcinogenic and safe for coral and marine life.

Red raspberry seed oil is also included in the formulation, known for its ability to absorb UVB and UVC rays, though it offers limited protection against UVA. The combination of these ingredients ensures robust sun protection.

Sintra Naturals is committed to environmental responsibility, using plastic-free and recycled board packaging with biodegradable inks and glue. Plus, 10p from each sale goes to the Marine Conservation Society.

To encourage sun-safe habits in children, each pack includes a reward chart. Once completed, Sintra Naturals will plant a tree in the child's name in alliance with GROW-TREES.COM, and send a certificate.

How to use: The Paediatricians recommend sunscreens' SPF using 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimetre (2mg/cm2) of skin. This is about 1oz for a full adult body (about a shot glass full) or about 1/3 of a teaspoon to cover your face. It's nearly impossible to actually measure and evenly apply sunscreen according to these guidelines, so we suggest applying a visibly whitening coat of sunscreen to all exposed skin and rubbing it in to reduce the whitening effect. To ensure that you have achieved full and even coverage, let this coat dry/sink in for 15-30 minutes and then reapply. Think of it as a base coat and finish coat. To maintain maximum effectiveness, sunscreen should be reapplied at least every 2 hours and directly after extended swimming or sweating. For sensitive skin, apply a small amount of the product to test before full use. Keep out of eyes and keep off broken or unhealthy skin. Our sunscreens are used regularly for both face and body. We have additionally tested as non-comedogenic, which means that they will not clog pores. Although we have not tested every sunscreen individually, the base formulas of the sunscreens are very similar and we would expect similar test results.

Testing:

• ISO 24444 — Now adopted in nearly 60 countries, supportable claims include SPF number and sunscreen efficacy. This excludes the USA but includes countries such as Australia, Canada, China, Chile, New Zealand, India, Russia and various other global countries.
• ISO 24442 — In compliance with EU requirements, this method focuses on UVAPF — ultraviolet A Protection Factor. UVA has been linked to photoaging and skin cancer. When a product protects against both UVA and UVB radiation, this qualifies as a broad spectrum product.
• Broad spectrum efficacy — This measures a product’s absorbance of UV radiation across both the UVB and UVA spectrum. We have done both INVIVO/INVITRO with PF factor determination. Clinically tested and concluded to be SPF 30 with broad spectrum coverage.
