Description

Calypso Kids Suncream SPF50 - 150ml is a high-protection children’s sun lotion designed to protect delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB radiation. The light, non-greasy and water-resistant formula offers SPF50 broad-spectrum protection and contains gentle moisturisers to help replenish the natural skin oils lost through exposure to sun, wind and water. The lotion is photostable, meaning it maintains its level of sun protection between applications, and it is formulated with hypoallergenic ingredients suitable for children’s sensitive skin. Supplied in a convenient 150 ml bottle, it is ideal for everyday family use at home, school or on holiday.
