An Australian guide to choosing sunscreen for sensitive skin: what to look for, what to avoid, how to patch test, and why texture matters more than you think.

What SPF50+, broad spectrum, water resistance and the AUST L number actually mean on an Australian sunscreen label, explained simply for parents.

Choosing a sunscreen for your baby in Australia involves more decisions than the label usually makes obvious. This guide covers what actually matters: how to read a sunscreen label, when babies can start wearing sunscreen, what gentle formulation looks like in practice, and why texture is the piece most parents only discover when it is too late.

There’s more behind the SPF50+ label than most of us realise, and for families choosing sunscreen for sensitive skin, that detail matters. This is a clear, honest guide to what the number actually measures, why independent testing is worth understanding, and how to get the most from your sunscreen every day.
