Rain,
rain, go away
Come
again some other day
We want
to go outside and play
Come
again some other day.
Oh how I
wish the rain would go and the sun come out play. It would be great to see the rain go away and
in its place the sun shine all day. We
love to be outside, enjoying the countryside.
If the sun was shining and we were outside having fun, it would be the
perfect time to review Sudocrem’s new product which protects little ones from
the sun.
Knowing
how unpredictable the British weather is, let alone how notorious Wales is in
connection with rain, I will review this sunscreen on its ease of use and
practicality and will update you all once the weather has improved and we can
test out the sun protection and its effectiveness.
The
Sudocrem Sunscreen Mousse is an innovative factor 50 kids sun protection product,
and as it is SPF 50 it filters 98% of UVB radiation which are the rays that
cause burning. Also as it is a factor 50
product it meets skincare experts’ recommended 4 star UVA protection mark which
promises superior defence against the rays that can cause longer term damage. It provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection
which the NHS recommends is used for protecting children’s skin from the sun.
Sudocrem’s
patented mousse formulation has been created using ProDerm technology which has
skin moisturising and barrier-strengthening and protecting properties. The mousse has been specially formulated to
be gentle on babies’ and children’s delicate skin and it closely mimics the skin’s
composition to gently moisturise and protect the outer layer. As it has been designed to closely mimic skin
it is noncomedogenic which means it does not block pores and as it is rapidly absorbed
by the skin it forms a semi permeable layer which allows the skin to breathe. Sudocrem claim it contains no ‘nasties’ and
that this sunscreen is hypoallergenic and free from perfumes, colours, parabens
and other preservatives.
This
sunscreen comes in a 150ml can and dispenses easily and mess free with one
quick squirt. The light and foamy mousse
rubs in with ease and spreads well, a little goes a long way and as the
application is quick and easy you can cover a limb in seconds. It absorbs quickly into the skin giving the
skin a healthy looking, glowing sheen when first applied but it does not leave
any sticky, greasy residue which is great.
It leaves skin feeling smooth and slightly moisturised and even though it’s
designed for little ones as it has the ProDerm technology and is hypoallergenic
I think it would be great for my sensitive skin too which is great as the whole
family could use it. Some sunscreens have
an unpleasant sunscreen scent that is very strong and I really like the fact
that this sunscreen does not have any noticeable scent as it is fragrance free.
My only
niggle with this sunscreen is that on Boot’s website for this product under
Safety Advice it states – Contains Benzophenone-3. Now I must confess I don’t know what
Benzophenone-3 is but the fact that it is listed under safety advice does cause
me some concern but surely the fact that this is a kids sunscreen product that
has been specially formulated to be delicate on young skin and is
hypoallergenic must mean it is safe and will be gentle and safe on children’s
delicate skin? Mmmm…..maybe there are no sunscreen products that are 100% free
from nasties and the best ones are the ones with the least amount of nasties. Sudocrem say this sunscreen is “missing many
of the ‘nasties’ found in some conventional sun protection products such as
colourants, perfumes and preservatives” so at least by using this product those
particular nasties won’t be a concern.
Now all
we need is for the sun to start shining again and banish the rain for a little
while so that I can test out this sunscreen’s protection. When the weather is nice we spend a lot of
time outdoors, going for walks and playing and I think protecting your skin is
vital especially protecting my little man’s delicate skin and I am looking
forward to seeing how effective Sudocrem’s sunscreen mousse is. Even though we haven’t fully tested it I do
like the fact that this mousse has a ‘very water resistant’ rating which is the
highest rating available for a sun protection product, meaning it will be great
for fun splashy time in the paddling pool and in the sea at the beach.
I’d
give this sunscreen a gold star for ease of application as I love this mess
free option of protecting my little man’s skin from the sun and harmful rays
and it’s a bonus that compared to other sunscreens it takes less time than
usual to put the sunscreen on and is great for applying on little wrigglers
like my little man. A great plus from me is the fact that it has
not been tested on animals and that the can is made from 90% recycled aluminium
and is recyclable after use.
