    I've used the Calypso one on my 5yr old since he was 9months old and he has never burnt with it and has just come back from Turkey(where it was over 40 degress) with a nice tan and not burnt. I prefer the Calypso one as it's clear, easy to put on and doesn't stain the clothes.:)

    That's a really good price for the product, but can I just say that SPF 10 definitely isn't high enough for kids. The very minimum anyone should use is SPF15 although that is not really enough. Not enough people are aware of the dangers of skin cancer, which kills over 2000 people a year in the UK. My Dad has skin cancer, and his treatment is often very painful, sometimes requiring reconstructive surgery after operations. He was told by the docs that adults and kids should ideally be using SPF30+. He's never been a mega sun-worshiper, so it developed with normal exposure to the sun. You can still get skin cancer if you don't burn.
