Parents are very careful when choosing cosmetic products for babies. It is important that they not only help in caring for delicate unprotected skin, but also do not harm it. There is a huge selection of products of both domestic and foreign brands on the market. Many have long been heard, some have only recently introduced their goods to Russian buyers.

A must-have product that every mother must have in her cosmetic bag is sunscreen. After all, it is ultraviolet rays that cause more harm to the baby's skin compared to other natural factors. Burning leads to irreversible processes that can lead to serious problems in adulthood, including skin cancer.

In the production of children's products, no aggressive chemical ingredients should be used, which tend to accumulate in the body and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, a thorough study of the composition before buying is the key to maintaining the health of the baby.

By choosing the right cream, you can protect your child from solar activity. Pediatricians, even in cloudy weather, advise you to carry it with you for a walk and take it on long trips, that is, always keep it at hand.

The range of products is quite extensive. Someone buys products of one brand and does not change it. Some are experimenting with creams of different brands and price ranges. Our experts, who, together with pediatricians and dermatologists, have compiled a rating of the 10 best sunscreens for children to make your choice on something specific. When compiling the list, we took into account the feedback from parents who already use this or that tool.
