Is this sun cream suitable for young babies? I have a two month old who loves spending time in the sun and needs some protection?
The Children's Sun Lotion is suitable for use on babies from birth.

Why do you only offer SPF25?
The sun lotion offers around 96% coverage from UVB rays and a factor 50 would only offer 2% more in coverage. However the SPF number only relates to UVB rays, not UVA, and sun lotion needs to be re-applied regularly to maintain protection from both.

The danger in giving a higher SPF factor gives false confidence to stay out in the sun for longer periods. The UVA rays have a deeper effect in the skin cells and you cannot see the damage this is causing (the UVB rays are the ones that cause the burning on the surface of the skin).

We therefore recommend that you re-apply sun lotion every couple of hours to maintain protection against both UVA & UVB rays. 

Are these sun lotions free from peanuts/nuts or their derivatives?
Yes our sun lotions are free from nut and nut derived ingredients.

Are any of your suncreams suitable for a child with egg, dairy and nut allergy?
Our children’s sun lotion does not contain egg, dairy or nuts.

As per recommendations published in the British Medical Journal, consumers are advised to apply sunscreen using the following guidance.

To gain the sun protection advertised on the tube, you should squeeze out two lines of sun cream along the full length of the underside of your index and middle fingers.

This amount should then be applied to EACH of the following areas every two hours.

• Head, neck and face
• Left arm - Right arm
• Upper back
• Lower back
• Upper front torso
• Lower front torso
• Left upper leg and thigh
• Right upper leg and thigh
• Left lower leg and foot
• Right lower leg and foot

If you do not apply this much, please be aware that the sun cream may not reach its advertised efficacy. Please note that this guidance applies to all sunscreen, not just that from Green People.

"Organic Children No scent is the only suncream I have been able to find that does not irritate my little girl's skin! Couldn't be without it! :)"

"We were on holiday in Jamaica when my daughter's face swelled and we had to take her to a doctor. She was diagnosed with solar dermatitis and given strong anti histamines etc. Later in the UK the same thing happened yet without the same sun intensity. We discovered it was the sun lotion that she was reacting with but still needed to protect her. We tried Organic Children's one and it was brilliant. It protected her and she had no reactions what so ever!"

"Although my children have never suffered from sun burn, after a week on holiday the skin on my son's back would crack and end up looking like snake skin and my daughter's legs would get extremely sensitive to even the gentlest moisturizer.

After using your no scent sun lotion and after sun lotion I was delighted to find that after 3 weeks in the sun and swimming pool my children's skin showed no sign of dryness or tenderness - and it smelled beautiful too. I have now been using your sun cream for 2 years and will not change."

"My son seems to be allergic to most sun lotions on the market and develops a nasty itchy rash which last for days afterwards. I was beginning to get desperate as to what sun cream to try next. I googled for help and came across tons of extremely positive testimonials for the Green People Sun Lotion for children. I read almost all the reviews and bought the sun cream on the strength of them. I have to say, I am completey thrilled, we have used the sun lotion on my son for 2 days in a row and his skin has not reacted at all. I shall definitely be buying this again. Thank you so much."

"I want to say a huge thank you for this Suncream. My son always developed really itchy skin and prickly heat from all the other suncreams I've tried. On our recent holiday he had no problems at all whilst using this cream and was really well protected form the sun. It was such a relief to go on holiday and not worry about how is skin would be. Thank you!"

"I just have to say how amazed I am with your products. I am a doting, first time grandmother of gorgeous little Harry, now aged 11months. From a couple of months old, he suffered from skin problems on his face, hands, feet etc. My daughter was visiting the G.P. regularly, but the various creams and lotions seemed to make it worse. Also, in this sunny weather we've been having - sun creams really made his skin flare up. So I did a little on-line research and found your site. I ordered some products - my daughter has been using them for about a month now - and we particularly like the sun cream and baby salve. Within days Harry's skin was so much better - it has now been clear for 3 weeks - previously unheard of - especially in this heatwave. We are so relieved that our gorgeous little boy is no longer uncomfortable and scratching, but now healthy, happy and glowing - if I could give you a medal I would!!!!!

"I just wanted to thank you for your great children's SPF25 no scent sun lotion. After many years of trying various sun lotions which inflamed my daughter's eczema we have just returned from a wonderful itchy free holiday. Her skin did not react once during our holiday and she looks sun kissed and healthy without a scratch in sight!"

"My 3 year old is very sensitive to shampoo, soaps, creams - in fact most of the time from birth we have simply used water with no products at all if we could help it! I found your website after much research into sun creams, involving borrowing samples from playgroup friends and noting down anyone who had had any success with sun cream on sensitive skin! Finally on a site dealing with this issue I noticed your products came up again and again with obviously positive results. I tried it on my daughter hardly daring to believe it might work and - it did! Thank you!! It is a great relief to be able to let her play in the sun without worrying!"

"We have been using your Organic Suncreams for our family for a few years now. They are more expensive than the non-organic suncreams, but well worth it not having to worry about what's in the suncream. We went on holiday with family and friends in May (2006). 

One family there had a Special Needs (Red head) toddler, who had very sensitive skin. They had tried many various suncreams but they all made his skin suffer terribly. However, despite our Organic Suncream being ridiculed (very prejudicially) by another adult of the group, they thought they'd try the Organic one.

We posted them some of our (your) Organic Children's Suncream straight after the holiday and - they said it had worked wonderfully, and that it had stopped the sunburn and the skin was fine. They were very pleased to have found a Children's Suncream that, at long last, had worked for their child who had such sensitive skin!"

"I am amazed by this product! I have tried numerous sun tan lotions on my daughter who has a sensitive skin condition. This is the only one that has not reacted to her skin, it actually seemed to make it better!! Highly recommend!"

"Oh my, I have a tan! I am 32 and have only tanned once in my life before. I usually go bright red, peel and go white again after a few (painful) weeks. I bought the child's suncream and decided to use it too, rather than buying two types. I have not burnt and have been sensible with shade and clothing."
