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:

- Used on face only a few times, was shiny and once my cheek got irritated afterwards, but didn't burn my eyes, still wasn't exactly good as face sunscreen



+ Not much scent

+ No white cast

+ Didn't break out my body or irritate

+ Easy to apply, light white lotion, absorbs quickly

+ Claims to be water resistant

+ Didn't notice it staining any clothes but this is just my observation (I don't exactly swim in sunscreen so there would not be a lot to be rubbed off...)

+ Bottle didn't leak when carried in a bag, no big pumps so the size fits nicely for travel too

+ Easily available in basically all supermarkets, no online ordering

+ Affordable

* This is Nivea Sun Kids Protect&Sensitive Sun Spray SPF50+, the old formula that has been reformulated since beginning of 2022. I was sure I had written a review for this one, especially because I am fairly certain this is my second bottle too, so I have even repurchased! But no!

* I did write 2019 in my sunscreen compilation post: "Nivea and Garnier Kids are my favorites out of these (body sunscreens). But I must say Nivea is easier to remove and absorbs maybe better? Even though there is no prominent white cast with Garnier, it still leaves more of an layer if you go looking for it, also it might bunch up on my neck for example when I sweat. Probably Nivea does too, but I can't notice it. But Garnier is so darn difficult to remove so I bet it survives beach trips amazingly. I think Garnier smells better than Nivea even though they are not strong scents and they are not disturbing at all."

About 15 € / 200 ml

Buy again? 

Yes, I would, and I did, and probably will buy the reformulated one at some point.

Worth the money? 

Yes, I think Nivea Sun Kids Protect&Sensitive Sun Spray SPF50+ is worth the money. It is a good sunscreen for just about everyone, no matter age or skintone, and it is fragrance free and easily available and affordable.
