Our read on it
Mustela specialises in infant skin, which matters more here than in any other category: a baby's skin is thinner and absorbs more. The practical spec that counts is not the SPF alone but resistance to rubbing from towels and clothing, since most sunscreen comes off in the drying rather than the water. A 100 ml bottle is small on purpose: opened sunscreen loses potency within a season.
Pros
- SPF50+ against both UVA and UVB
- Resists water, sweat and rubbing from towels
- From a brand that specialises in infant skin
- 100 ml is used within a season, so it does not go stale
Cons
- 100 ml runs out fast with more than one child
- Dearer per millilitre than the larger spray on this list
Important safety information
Sunscreen is generally not used under six months; at that age protection means shade, clothing and a hat rather than cream. Patch-test a small area before the first broad use to check for a reaction. Reapply every two hours and after every swim or towel-dry. Keep it away from the eyes and off the face where you can.
