Skinnies Kids SPF50 Review

This is the best not only for kiddies but adults too. A small amount goes such a long way. No mess not the same texture as regular sunblock and it's not obviously greasy or slimey. Dries on skin nicely too! My absolute fav part of this is you can head out into the sun in minutes after application unlike other sunblock!

I’ve been using Skinnies Kids on my toddler for couple of years now. Though it’s probably unnecessary on packaging, I’ve been grabbing the Beach Boy, which is the green tube.

It has a subtle scent of coconut. The consistency is a thick balm like texture and looks kind of like honey in colour, but it’s so quick and easy to apply on my wriggly toddler. I don’t waste any time trying to rub it into his skin. A pea size is enough to cover the face, then a pea size for each body part that’s not covered.

I’ve used it on my son when he had eczema and found that it was very gentle on his skin. Also, it kept his skin moisturised. It kept his skin well protected and whenever he went into water, it was quick and easy to reapply afterwards.

This was the third Skinnies sunscreen I'd tried and it did not disappoint.

I love the packaging - it's bring and colorful and it's fun. I received so many compliments about how cool it looked and people were really intrigued that it was sunscreen and asked me lots of questions about skinnies etc. Who knew it would be such a talking point!

The sunscreen itself is a thick clear gel with a yellow tinge. It also has a faint coconut scent which I really love.

The sunscreen rubs in well, absorbs fast and leaves your skin feeling moisturised. I quite enjoyed using it as my everyday sunscreen on my face as it doesn't feel as thick or look as shiny as other sunscreens.

Overall it's one of my favourites. Being vegan, reef safe and recyclable are all added bonuses! Highly recommended!

My daughter has sensitive skin, and lately have found that most sunscreens make her flare up. After looking up some lesser known brands, I found this at our local chemist. We were lucky enough to be able to do a patch test from a sample before buying so we didn’t have to pay $45 for something that might make her react. It works wonders! A little definitely goes a long way, but I feel like she is more than protected from the sun. I love the coconut smell which is a bonus.

This is seriously the best suncream for to use on your kids. It doesn’t take alot and you don’t have to wait for long before heading out into the sunshine. Yea it’s a little greasy but that’s because it’s effective and a little goes a long way. It doesn’t stain your clothes and you can be assured your kids are safe.

I decided to switch to this sun screen for myself and family after doing some research and seeing that my usual sunscreen had failed in the consumer Nz SPF tests. This sunscreen performed so well and was proven to offer really high SPF protection. My daughter is very fair and has a lot of freckles on her face so SPF protection is a must. I love this sunscreen! It not your typical sunscreen texture, it is like nothing I’ve used before. It’s like a non sticky colourless gel and makes your skin feel so soft. It has such a nice smell and is also infused with coconut oil. This is going to be my new favourite product for summer, I just wish it came in a larger size

I am very cautious about what I put on my daughters skin. I did a lot of research before I purchased this as I wanted something decent and not full of chemicals. I love that it's cruelty free and made in NZ.

It is definitely more on the pricey side, I paid $45.99 for it from the chemist. It comes in a 100ml squeezy tube and has colourful pictures which make the packaging quite unique and cool. There are 3 different ones you can get, I got River Rascal.

It is a thick honey coloured gel and it says to only use a pea size amount which takes a bit of getting used to after slapping on the usual thick, white sunscreen.

First off this smells amazing....the most gorgeous coconut scent! One of the ingredients in it is coconut oil. I did do a small patch test first and thankfully my girl got no reaction at all.

I take a small amount and apply to my daughters face, arms and legs. It spreads well, a little definitely goes a long way. It doesn't sting her eyes at all or feel sticky on her skin.

It is SPF 50 so I feel confident she is well protected when out in the sun. She has never got burnt and it is gentle but effective on her skin. I think this is a brilliant sunscreen and worth the money and I will be purchasing again.

This sunscreen has been great for my little one and we have used it from when she was six months old. She has sensitive skin and this sunscreen has not irritated her skin at all and she has never burned. I love that it is SPF50 and that it is made in NZ. It is a waterless gel product (like a thick paste) and isn't watered down, greasy, or full of chemicals. You only need a small amount so a little goes a long way and applies easily, and bonus it that it has a lovely coconut scent. Only downside is it has stained her some of her white clothes.
