"Brilliant for heat rash!"
This lotion comes in a lovely easy to use tube which i find so much easier to use than some sprays which leave you with greasy hands and unable to spray more on. It has no odore and rubs in fairly easy. I have used this on both my 3yr old and my 8mth old and no problems. I myself suffer from terrible heat rash, after using this cream I no longer have that problem! Two minutes to apply and I can go all day with no rash! Over all this is a lovely sun lotion which i would reccomend!

"Superb Product"
I love the clear messaging on this product, you can see instantly that it is Organic, for Children, it has a spf25 for medium use, and it has no scent. It is simple yet informative.
I applied this cream to my son who is 3 years old and was concerned that it was only spf25, the application was easy, not at all grease and rubbed in leaving us all feeling moisturised! I kept a close eye on him and had to reapply frequently due to the low spf. Not sure if higher factors are available I would normally only use spf50. I also have a 10 month old baby but did not use on this occasion as I don't believe it was strong enough.
I was surprised when I read 'no scent' and thought how can something have 'no scent' but I would have to agree that it is pretty much odourless - just a very faint scent of moisturiser but you have to really sniff it to smell it.
This product, I believe offers good value as it is organic and much nicer to use that other competitive products that are at the same price.
I would recommend this product and I will buy it again myself but would look for a higher spf ideally 50.

"Easy application but low factor"
This product is really nicely packaged. It is so easy to apply and spreads really well. Sometimes my boys moan when I put suncream on them but as this spreads so well they hardly noticed me doing it.
It says "No Scent" on the packet, this worried me a little as some natural "no scent" products sometimes have an odour to them even though they are not perfumed but this really was odourless.
My two older boys suffer with eczema and some creams aggrevate this however this cream was very sensitive and neither of them complianed.
My only concern with this product is that it is factor 25, we used it at the beach in the UK and I did notice my boys' faces going slightly red so I would probably be more likey to use this on mildy sunny days where there is shade to cool off in and would use a higher factor on bright sunny days or abroad. I wouldn't use this product on my baby as I feel factor 25 is too low.
Overall I would recommend this product.

"Great stuff!"
On getting the product i was very impressed with the packaging, its simple and gets the point across that its organic, scentless and suitable for delicate skin!
I usually dread putting sun cream on my kids especially their faces as its generally greasy and messy.....
Not this stuff, it was great to use and applied so easily with no greasiness, I even tried some!!!
My son does have sensitive skin so I was glad to see it didnt give him any flare up's.
Price... a bit on the expensive side but I do think its worth it.
I would definately recommend to friends and family.

"makes the skin feel smooth"
it was easy to use and nice its sent free as it says on the bottle it makes the skin feel nice and smooth not just my daughters skin but also my hands. i first thought that it was rather expensive but my daughter likes it and i think thats it will probably go a long way so would be worth the price. the appearence of the bottle is plain and simple how it should be. my daughter likes it loads as she finds it easier to put on as she like to do it herself as it is thicker it doesnt run off her like other sun protection products do. the only bad point is that it takes forever to rub in as it is quite thick but otherwise brilliant product.

"My boy's loved this"
As im used to buying spf50, really thick and takes for-ever to rub in....
This sun lotion is amazing, really easy to rub in, not thick at all and no sticky after affect on children's body's or my hands after. And actually left my hands and childrens skin nice and soft.
£15.06.. was abit like "wow" with the price at first.. but after using it, i would pay this as it lasts age's.
Packaging really easy on the eye and the children know witch is there lotion.
Being organic is great as you know nothing bad is going onto your children.

"A little goes a long way!"
This product was very easy to use, being in a tube rather than a bottle, there was no chance of spilling, and being a cream rather than a lotion, there was far less mess than usual which is a blessing when you have 2 wriggly little ones that want to try and help!
Being factor 25, it was a little less than I usually use on my 2 as they are very fair skinned and haired, but at no point after using this, and being in the sun, was there any sign of any redness.
I was a little surprised at the price (£14.75 for 150ml), but I have had the same tube for 4 months now, and it has been well used by everyone in the family and is still going. Also when you compare it to other simelar items, it does start to seem more reasonable.
The consistancy of the sun lotion was very thick and more cream like, and went into the skin with no stickyness or without lots of rubbing. Also, sand does not appear to stick to it after applying, which was useful!
As previously mentioned, it was used by the whole family and, after being in the sun, there was no sore skin, so everyone was happy! I also liked the fact that on the tube, each of the ingredients had an explanation next to it as to why it was there and what it was for. Would definatly use again!

"Nice to apply, not so good for very sunny days"
This cream is easy to apply, a little goes a long way, it isn't scented (as described) or coloured, and isn't too greesy either. Plus the tube is a generous size, might be a little bulky for popping in your handbag.
My son is quite fair skinned so I usually use a minimum factor 30. This cream worked well on slightly cloudy days when the sun wasn't so strong, but on very bright hot sunny day's I would have to revert to our usual factor 30 kids cream, particularly on his face, as I noticed that he was starting to catch the sun with this cream even after 2 applications and he was wearing a hat. Wearing shorts and t-shirt it did a good job of protecting his body, but if he were only wearing a swimsuit I would use my SPF 30 instead.
I would personally recommend this for regular daily use in the summer months as protection for the children, even on days which arent very sunny as the sun can still be damaging. But, especially for fairer children, I wouldn't suggest using this cream and use a higher SPF instead to avoid them catching the sun.
I can't say that I would be confident that this cream is suitable for use when children are playing in water, and would re-apply regularly in this instance, as it doesn't appear as thick and the water-resistant creams.

"Great sun lotion especially for sensitive skin"
This sun lotion is great for children with sensitive skin. My daughter has eczema and this lotion was great for her. It really moisturised her skin and kept her protected from the sun. The lotion is easy to use non greasy and rubs in really well it is a great size and easy to fit into your bag. I have used the lotion in this country when we have had those sunny days and it has been perfect. My only concern with this product is that it was only factor 25 and i normally use at least a factor 30. The R.R.P for this product is £14.95 for a 150ml tube which when looking at other organic sun lotion which are suitable for sensitive skin i believe this is good value for money. Overall a fantastic product and the reassurance that it is organic and natural for children's skin i would have no hesitation in recommending this product.

"Great product !"
I thought this product was great, non greasy and dried in quickly. I also liked the fact that it did not have a scent. I used it on my son and daughter and even though my son has sensitive skin it did not react. I also used it myself and I have sensitive skin and psoriasis and found it great especially on my face which always breaks out when I put a sunblock/sunscreen on. Like the previous reviewer I was also a little concerned as it was factor 25 and I usually put factor 50 on the kids but I just made sure I topped up regularly and that the kids didn't spend too long in the sun (Not sure if it is available in a higher factor ?)
The price is higher than I normally pay because I usually get the BOGOF offers but I think it is a superior product so worth the extra
Overall I liked the cream and will definately look into the other products the company make

"Excellent lotion even for sensitive baby skin"
A brilliant lotion with no smell, it is very easy to see where you have rubbed the cream in and being in a smaller tube it is easy to fit in your bag and take out with you. My son has sensitive skin and eczema and this cream was really good on his skin, it left it very moisturised and more importantly he did not get sunburnt! My only slight concern is that it is only SPF 25 and I would prefer to have a higher factor when it is very, very hot (not often in England then!!) but for the nice sun that we have been having this product has been ideal.
I also have a Green People Catalogue with some really good information in it - mainly highlighting the rubbish that is in general sale cosmetics, yuck! The company do some fantastic items & I will be buying some after trying this cream! The prices are higher than other brands, this lotion is £14.95 for 150ml tube - however I am now signed up to the Green People newsletter by email & they have lots of offers (20% off certain prize winning items at the mo) and you get to choose the following months offers in a poll! A great company with great products
