Garnier Ambre Solaire Kids Moisturising Spray High Protection SPF 50 200 ml Review





Ingredients:


Aqua/Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Alcohol Denat, Propylene Glycol, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Homosalate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoyl-Methane, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Polyester-5, Parfum/Fragrance, Tocopherol, PEG-8 Laurate, Ethylenediamine/Stearyl Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer, Triethanolamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylates Copolymer, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Disodium Edta, FIL B158651/1 (?).

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...






Thoughts:


Gives me more bumps than Pirkka's SPF 20 sunscreen when used daily (on my body), my skin is not quite agreeing with it

The bottle is quite annoying to use, can be messy with the liquid sunscreen, sometimes the nozzle leaks

Don't think the bottle is very travel friendly...

- Not really moisturizing in my opinion but can't blame it for drying my skin either!



Dries fast in about 2-3 minutes (probably the alcohol), doesn't stay sticky, is a bit "damp" on the skin for maybe 20 min?

No white cast, maybe ever so slightly some "cloudiness"

The consistency is very liquid, serum like, quite a nice change from thicker creams

Feels like it protects better than my cheapo Pirkka SPF 20, I think my skin wasn't as "irritated" by sun in the evening after being exposed for 8-10 hours (I did reapply), no wonder with all those sunscreen filters packed in one product!

Good for hot, humid days, quite sweat proof

Very slight neutral fresh smell, practically nothing



* I feel like I just bought the bottle and I am already half way through it... something about the liquid products makes them end faster!

I have just started to trial different sunscreens for my body and this seemed like a good candidate. Yet, against burning and tanning the cheaper, less SPF ones seem to work almost as well! But if you are outside all day everyday, it makes a difference to go up with the protection.



Price: 

About 15 € / 200 ml

Bought from: 

Supermarket

Buy again? 

Maybe? 

Worth the money? 

I think the filters seem stable and it's definitely better for hot/humid days than a thicker cream that doesn't truly dry at all. I wish the bottle would be somehow better to use and pack. But I do like it better than my cheaper sunscreens for body.
