Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Children's skin is particularly susceptible to sun damage because it contains less protective pigment than adult skin. Repeated sunburn during childhood significantly increases the lifetime risk of skin damage and skin cancer, making consistent sun protection extremely important. Sunscreen should always be used alongside protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, and children should be encouraged to play in the shade during peak sunlight hours between 11am and 3pm.
Apply sunscreen generously 15–30 minutes before going outdoors and remember that using too little sunscreen greatly reduces the level of protection achieved. Reapply every two hours and immediately after swimming, excessive sweating or towel drying. Babies younger than six months should be kept out of direct sunlight wherever possible. If your child develops a severe sunburn, blistering or signs of heat illness, seek medical attention promptly.

Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+ provides very high broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. It has been specially developed to help protect babies over six months, children and adults with sensitive skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure while remaining gentle on delicate skin.
2. Is Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+ suitable for babies?
Yes. It is suitable for babies aged over six months. However, babies under six months should be kept out of direct sunlight wherever possible, as sunscreen alone does not provide complete protection for very young infants.
3. Can children with eczema use Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+?
Yes. The fragrance-free formula has been developed for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Although it does not treat eczema, it is designed to provide sun protection while being gentle on delicate skin.
4. Can adults use Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+?
Absolutely. Many adults with sensitive skin choose paediatric sunscreens because they are formulated to minimise unnecessary ingredients while still providing very high SPF protection.
5. How often should I reapply Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+?
Reapply every two hours during sun exposure and immediately after swimming, excessive sweating or towel drying, even though the product is water resistant.
6. Is Elave Sensitive Sun Paediatric SPF50+ water resistant?

Yes. It is suitable for both the face and body. Take care to avoid contact with the eyes during application.
9. Does SPF50+ block all of the sun's rays?
No sunscreen blocks 100% of UV radiation. SPF50+ provides very high protection, but should always be used alongside protective clothing, hats and sensible sun avoidance during peak UV hours.
10. Can I use this sunscreen every day?
Yes. Daily sunscreen use is recommended whenever skin is exposed to daylight, especially during spring and summer or while on holiday.
11. How long does the 200ml bottle last?
This depends on the number of users and frequency of application. For families using sunscreen correctly and reapplying regularly, a 200ml bottle is ideal for everyday use and holidays but may need replacing after extended trips.
