How to use
Three steps to optimal sun protection
1. Select the right product
Choose a product that offers the right level of sun protection for your child’s skin. It should be specially formulated for sensitive young skin and appropriate for their age.

2. Use the right amount
Cover young skin with protective clothing wherever possible and be sure to use sufficient sun protection product on any uncovered areas.
A recent Eucerin study2 revealed that 88% of parents use less than the recommended amount of product on their children.
For each of the numbered areas on the body diagram below we recommend you vary the number of sprays according to age:
Age 3-5: Approximately 5 pumps per area
Age 6-10: Between 7 and 10 pumps per area
Age 10+: Between 10 and 15 pumps per area
The areas are:
1. Face and neck
2 & 3. Both arms
4. Chest
5. Stomach
6 & 7. The top of your legs (front and back)
8 & 9. The bottom of your legs (front and back) plus your feet
10. Shoulders and upper back
11. Lower back
The pump can be held quite close to the body. When applying product to the face, first spray it into the palm of your hand and then gently apply to your child’s face.

3. Apply thoroughly
Ensure that all exposed areas get the protection they need. Some parts are easy to miss. Don’t forget behind the ears, the back of the neck, the back and shoulders as well as hands and feet, the backs of the arms and the areas at the edges of your child’s swimwear.
The results of Eucerin research² into how effectively sun cream is applied to children were mapped onto an avatar. The research found that, on average, 6.6% of a child’s total body was insufficiently protected in the sun. The red in the diagram below indicates the areas least well covered with sunscreen, and the intensity of redness varies depending on the number of children who were not properly protected in that area.

It’s not just UV rays that can damage skin. High-energy visible (HEVIS) light generates free radicals that cause photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun), and even high UV protection is not enough to prevent it. Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ and Eucerin Kids Sun Spray Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ offer Advanced Spectral Technology that goes beyond UV to protect sensitive skin from the negative effects of HEVIS light too while supporting skin’s own DNA repair mechanism. They soothe sensitive skin, protect it from sun-induced skin damage and also include Eucerin’s Anti-Stain After Wash* technology.
Advanced Spectral Technology
Superior broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters1 are combined with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UVA and HEVIS light.
DNA protection
Powerful antioxidant Glycyrrhetinic Acid supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.
Anti-Stain After Wash*
The UV filters in sunscreens can leave yellow stains on clothes that are intensified, rather than removed, by washing. Eucerin’s `Anti-Stain After Wash`* technology contains an anti-redeposition agent (that prevents so much of the filter from binding with the fabric) and a complexing agent (that binds with the ions in water so they are less able to intensify stains during the washing process). It helps to reduce the intensity of sunscreen stains after washing.

The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the ingredients on our website and on our product packaging. We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there.
Your child’s skin will benefit from a high or very high protection sunscreen that has been specially formulated for their delicate young skin. Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better skin is protected, and we recommend that you always apply high or very high protection sunscreens to young and delicate skin.
It is strongly advisable to keep young children out of direct sunlight, especially during its peak hours of intensity, and to use protective clothing. Apply sun protection thoroughly to any parts of the body that are exposed and reapply it generously every two hours. And remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible.
Children’s skin, like many of their organs, is still developing and so they are more sensitive to sunlight. Young skin is thinner than adult skin and its barrier function and self-protection mechanisms (especially melanin synthesis) are not fully developed. The surface area to volume ratio is also much higher in children’s skin.
UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree.
UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA and can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.
The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’.
Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin (the dermis) and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun).
Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light. These products will give your child’s skin reliable protection from photoaging and, in the long run, reduce the risk of skin damage.

The difference is in the texture and application of the product and the age that they are suitable for, not in the level of sun protection they offer.
Eucerin Kids Sun Spray Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ is available in two different formats – a pump spray and a trigger spray. Both contain the same effective and proven formula. The trigger spray is larger, containing 300ml of product versus 200ml in the pump spray. Both are suitable for sensitive skin, including skin with Atopic Dermatitis, and can be used on children from three years old.
Eucerin Kids Sun Fluid Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ is also suitable for use on children aged three and older, including those with atopic skin. It comes in a handy, pocket-sized pack and the product needs to be applied by hand.
The Eucerin ‘Anti-Stain After Wash’ technology helps to reduce the intensity of sunscreen stains after washing.
The yellow stains that appear on clothes, especially cottons, after using sunscreen products are caused by UV filters. The washing process can make these stains worse rather than remove them: the iron and copper ions in water, when combined with very hot water and bleaching agents, can actually bind-in and intensify the stains.
Eucerin’s ‘Anti-Stain After Wash’ technology works in two ways. Firstly, it contains a an anti-redeposition agent that prevents so much of the filter from binding with the fabric in the first place. Secondly, it contains a complexing agent that binds with the ions in water so they are less able to intensify stains when fabrics are washed.
The terms are defined by Cosmetics Europe and our products follow their guidelines. To be defined as water-resistant a product needs to retain half of its SPF after 2 x 20-minute sessions in the water. To qualify as extra water-resistant a product must retain half of its SPF after 4 x 20-minute sessions in the water.
