Product Description

Details

With a high SPF factor and organic ingredients of almond oil and beeswax, the Babu Water Safe Sunscreen is great for your family's delicate skin against the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays.

Being water resistant, it is thicker to apply than Babu's original formula and doesn't smell as sweet, due to the higher zinc content.  

The broad spectrum Water Safe Sunscreen is made to last longer, even in the water. Your little swimmers get 80 minutes of water-resistant protection from UVA and UVB rays when it’s applied. And it’s gentle on the skin, with nourishing organic plant oils, so you can reapply it regularly.

The blend of natural emollients, including beeswax and almond oil, creates a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dryness.

This sunscreen uses physical/mineral UV Filters (Zinc), which results in a thicker consistency than our everyday formula- this is because physical filters create a barrier on top of the skin, making the formula Water Resistant. 

It is paraben free and the ingredients are considered reef safe.

  • Not recommended for babies under 6 months, avoid the direct sunlight where possible for babies under 6 months.
  • Note that while this product has been tested to SPF50 and two hours of water resistance, as batch production can vary, it is labelled as SPF30 and with 80 minutes of water resistance.

Remember that sunscreen is no substitute for covering up and seeking shade, particularly in the hottest part of the day. Check out our range of buggy shade covers, hats and sunglasses to further protect your little one!

Babu’s skincare range is proudly made in New Zealand.

While this formula is cruelty-free and vegetarian, it contains beeswax so cannot be classified as vegan.
