Sunscreen Information

We Recommmend sunscreen for everyone, regardless of age
Anyone having sunscreen applied for the first time should have it applied to a small area of skin first in order to check for reactions prior to more extensive use.
Sunscreens that are CHEMICAL FREE and contain only Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as the active ingredient are the best for children.  That is important for several reasons
  • Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide are inert substances
  • These sunscreens are hypoallergenic
  • They will not irritate the eyes
  • They protect against both UVA and UVB rays
