INCIA Natural Sunscreen for Baby and Child SPF50

INCIA Natural Sunscreen for Baby and Child SPF 50 is a mineral sunscreen made for the sensitive skin of babies and young children. It uses a non-nano mineral filter that sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays, giving broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against both UVA and UVB, and it starts working straight away on application. The 100% natural formula is free from parabens, synthetic fragrances and the chemical filters found in many conventional sunscreens.

Because the mineral filter reflects rather than absorbs UV light, nothing needs to soak into your child's skin to protect them, which makes it a reassuring choice for little ones. It is water-resistant for time in the pool or the sea, and the cold-pressed plant oils in the blend, including calendula and tamanu (Calophyllum Inophyllum), add antioxidant-rich nourishment. Perfect for the beach, the park or any bright UK day, and worth remembering even when it is cloudy, since a large share of UV rays still comes through cloud.

How to use

Squeeze a little sunscreen into your palm or straight onto the skin and spread a thin, even layer over the face and body. Rub in well to avoid a white cast. For the best protection, apply generously before going out and reapply at least every two hours, and always after swimming, towelling dry or heavy sweating. Because of the natural oils, keep it from coming into contact with fabrics where you can.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe for newborn babies?
The formula is natural and made for sensitive baby and child skin. For a newborn, we recommend keeping them out of direct sun where possible and checking with your GP, midwife or health visitor before using any sunscreen.

Is it suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, it is specially developed for sensitive skin and free from synthetic fragrance and chemical filters. Patch test a small area first, and if your child has a persistent skin concern, check with your GP or pharmacist.

How is a mineral sunscreen different from a chemical one?
A mineral sunscreen sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays, rather than absorbing them the way chemical filters do. Many parents prefer this for young children, and it is generally considered kinder to marine life too.

How often should I reapply?
Apply generously before going out and reapply at least every two hours, and always after swimming, drying off or heavy sweating, to keep protection topped up.

Squeeze a small amount of natural sunscreen into your palm and apply a thin layer of sunscreen to the entire body and face. Thoroughly spread the sunscreen to avoid any white residue. Reapply as needed, especially after bathing, drying, or excessive sweating. We recommend applying sunscreen every two hours for optimal sun protection.
