As part of our ongoing campaign to discourage tans, we are delighted to see a new sun block for children. Proderm Transdermal Mousse has an SPF of 30 and in addition, according to its manufacturers, the product is absorbed into the skin, thereby offering protection for longer - six hours is the time promised, but we would recommend more frequent application.
Neither sticky nor greasy, and suitable even for children with skin conditions such as eczema, Proderm Transdermal Kids Sun Block Mousse is now available at pharmacies, priced £11.99 for a 150 ml cannister.
