Hero formula kids sunblock that works for the whole family currently has 20% off
The sun is starting to show his face again and weekends in the park or the beach are calling. If you find yourself having to lug a crazy amount of stuff with you every time you leave the house on a sunny day, this tip might just help.
Families are increasingly swapping out multiple sunscreens for one reliable, all-in-one formula. There are so many sunscreens on the market – for sensitive skin, for babies, lotions, sprays, dry-touch formulas and sport SPFs to name a few. And finding one that suits everyone in the family can be a challenge.
Parents often have to juggle separate products for sensitive skin, darker skin tones, and teenagers or adults who don’t want any tell-tale white cast when they apply. The solution is one formula that simplifies everything – easy to apply on wriggly toddlers and on busy mums, while still offering very high SPF protection. Enter this gentle formula from E45, which is quickly becoming a standout favourite.
Designed for babies, kids and adults, the E45 Kids and Baby Sun Face and Body Lotion SPF50+ is winning praise for its skin-friendly ingredients and its barely-there finish. Plus, right now at Boots it’s 20% off, bring the price down from £13.99 to £11.19. It’s available in a lotion, or spray-on formula.
Anya Hindmarch’s bargain high street skincare range has people ‘queuing round the block‘
One of the most talked-about features is its minimal white cast, even across different skin tones – something that can be a dealbreaker for many users. As one reviewer said: “I am glad that finally I found a sunblock which is having all the qualities I was looking for. We are South Asian so most of the sunblocks, due to white cast, look very odd on our skin. However, this formula is very light, quick to absorb and with minimal white cast — so highly recommended.”
And others agreed. “It’s really good SPF, I use it all over my face and body,” another customer wrote. “I love that it doesn’t leave white marks on my face. Fast absorption, handy bottle — it’s great for the whole family.”
Although it’s designed not to aggravate sensitive and eczema prone skin, one reviewer did report it was itchy around their eyes: ‘I have very sensitive skin and my skin copes well with this sunscreen. Unfortunately in the heat when I sweat it runs into my eyes and makes them extremely itchy,’ they explained.
Other formulations great for leaving a clear, cast-free finish include Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Invisible Hydrating Lotion Sunscreen SPF50, £19.99 and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Spray SPF 50+, £24.
