Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30+ is designed with busy, outdoor kids in mind.
The sunscreen is just the right consistency – it rubs in easily, leaves no greasy or sticky residue. The lotion goes on purple and rubs in clear so you can always make sure you haven’t missed a spot.
Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion is Water Resistant for up to 4 hours, contains aloe vera and vitamin E.
Available at Woolworths. Also available in a 75ml roll-on dispenser. RRPis $6.99 for 100ml. Not suitable for children under 18 months.
Over the Christmas holidays I have used this kids sun block. it seems to work well. the kids were in and out of the water too, and still they didn’t get burnt. also, it seems to be gentle on skin. the children had no skin reactions while they were wearing this sun block.
Yay! After multiple “battles of the sun tan lotion” I have finally found one that works for Madam! Usually she hates the feel of it before it soaks in, and wants to wash it off straight away, and will cry when I say it has to stay on. This one she runs and gets the bottle herself, It soaked in quickly, and didn’t leave a sticky residue. Very happy with Wollies.
Bought this because the packaging was bright and bold and it really stood out to me at the supermarket. It was very easy to use (as most sunscreens are) but it didn’t leave an oily residue on my hands after putting it on my son. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Fabulous to use even my twins enjoy applying it on
The sunscreen is not sticky nor smelly like some I have used. Easy to apply so even my 3 year olds can apply. Great bright yellow packaging to allow product to stand out when in my hand bag. Love this and would definitely buy again as my kids really love to protect their skin from ” spots ” coz I have freckles and my son always tells me I have spots mum!
I love woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30+ is designed with busy, outdoor kids in mind which i have 2 of, it is just the right consistency , it rubs in easily, leaves no greasy or sticky residue. The lotion goes on purple and rubs in clear so you can always make sure you haven’t missed a spot, which is great,
it is Water Resistant for up to 4 hours, contains aloe vera and vitamin E which i love, available in a 75ml roll-on dispenser, which my kids take to school in their bags and they can apply it on themselves.
This product is fantastic, i have very active children that love being outdoors all day when the weather is good, i know by applying this 30+ sunscreen that they are protected in water and out, it is non greasy to apply, it rubs in well, and it doesn’t give them any rashes.
Woolworth select sunscreen is great .
I mainly purchased this product because if the price I have the roll on sunscreen in my bag it is really hand when you have young children easy to use covers well.
And it inky cist he $7.00 I thought this was a great price .:)
This is our main sunscreen after I saw on a comparison segment on one of the current affairs programs that it rated highly. It rubs in quickly without a greasy residue and I find the older kids can put it on themselves and get a good coverage easily.
They are happy to use it because it’s so easy and doesn’t have an unpleasant smell like a lot of sunscreens.
We recently went on holidays to QLD, i had purchased a tube of this to take with. I used this on my family and myself everyday and had no reactions it didnt feel greasy like some do and most importantly we didnt get burnt once. This isnt as expensive as other brands but it does the job just as well. I will continue to buy this from now on
Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30+ is a great sunscreen for the kids. My kids love that when it comes out of the tube its purple, but once it rubs into the skin it disappears with no colour (although some times I think they wish they could draw purple streaks over each other)
It is water resistant which is really important with kids and I have had no skin irritation with my children. We keep a tube in each car and the house to make sure we have it at all times.
Will buy and use again.
Over summer we used Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+. I found it to be a good product, similar to most other sunscreens at there.
The kids loved using it, I think mainly because it goes on purple.
The price of Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ is fairly comparable to other sunscreens however, I wouldnt call it super cheap.
The bright orange packaging is good, making it easier to find amongst all my bits and pieces and it also demands attention making you remember to apply it!
All in all, Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ fills it job as a sunscreen.
A great family sun cream to use for everyone, easy to apply, fun for the kids, great for the parents, I like the purple, blue would be cool as well, but my kids are happy with purple sun cream. Great for sensitive skin and also good for when out and about whether its in the sun or the shade its always good to have on for protection.
like most mums out there, i tend to test most products that i use on my children on myself as well. i am one of those unlucky (or lucky depending which way you look at it) people with porcelain while skin and i will burn through pretty much most sunscreens on the market. my best tool is just to avoid the sun altogether. i must say after using this product due to my skin (and my first born looking to be in the same boat as i am) i was relatively impressed. it actually seemed to do a far better job than some of the more expensive brands i have used. while i still needed more regular applications than most (thats never going to change), it was the first brand i have used in a while where i did not receive a burn after sun exposure (i tested it a few more times and was sill fine). due to this it is the product i currently use for both me and my children. it is rather competitive on price, doesn’t have an unpleasant smell and is non-greasy. i would recommend any mums looking for a cheaper alternative that can still do the job to give this a try and see for themselves
I always love making sure my kids are lathered up when having fun in the sun. Great for when at the beach, sand doesn’t stick to their arms when just lathered the sunscreen on. Its a good cream to keep my kids fairly safe from the sun and I love the fact that it rubs on easily and kids enjoy watching the “purple” sunscreen disappear.
tried this when the normal sunscreen I buy was not available, it was not cheap as if I could have got my normal one it was on special and therefore cheaper than this homebrand product, I did not find it as effective as other sunscreens I use, it did not seem to last as long, the kids did end up a little pink with less exposure, I thought it was sticky and took longer to rub in and did not seem to absorb into the skin as others did, I think it probably does the job but other products that are branded in my opinion seem to be better.
Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ is pretty much like other sunscreens. We used the roll on and it was very easy to apply. It’s a little greasy but, that’s standard, I’m yet to try a sunscreen isn’t. When in and out of the water, it last for about 2-3 hours, before it needs reapplying. I’m happy to use again.
I found Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ to be very easy to use. The kids loved the funky purple colour and were happy to slather it all over themselves. Like most sunscreens, it’s a little bit greasy but, that’s fairly normal. I quite like the bright orange packaging of Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen and it’s reasonably priced.
Great sunscreen, great price, works well for kids out in the sun
I used the select kids sunscreen on my daughter when we went to the beach and for once she didn’t get sunburnt even though we went into the water and she has fair skin.
I love how it comes out purple when I apply it so then I know I haven’t missed anywhere, and that’s it water resistant.
I also like the price too, because ive paid a lot of money for a different bottle of sunscreen in the past and my daughter still got sunburnt.
I would recommend this sunscreen for mum who love spending time with their kids in the Sun and the outdoors but don’t want to risk them getting sunburnt.
Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ was a gift for my son as a beach set with towel, swimmers and the sunscreen from his grandparents. It delivers by protecting my son from the harsh rays of the Gold Coast. I am not sure the price of the item but it is really good quality and I apply to my son everyday and it works.
Woolworth Select Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30+ is a good sunscreen which we brought recently and it is good for outdoor activities, the color is good and no sticky or greasy around, easy to use particularly at beaches and parks.I like the way they have packed it and it is convenient to handle for kids as well, i have recommended my friends as well, the price seems to be reasonable as well and the quality is good, and it last for at least 2 to 3 hrs.
Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30+ is just as good as other brands out there. The bright orange packaging makes nice and easy to find with all the other beach stuff. Like most sunscreens, it’s a little greasy but, that’s pretty normal. My kids love the purple colour, they think that this is pretty cool.
My Mr6 is fussy when it comes to sunscreen. I bought some of this particular one for his swimming lessons toward the end of school. I got no complaints of it from him, and even though he would come home smelling a little of sunscreen, it wasn’t as potent as others as well as I could hold his hands without them slipping out out of mine! Great stuff!!
Woolworths Select Kids Sunscreen SPF30 is just like most sunscreens. A little greasy, like most, offering protection for around 2-3 hours. The best thing about this product is that is goes on purple, so you can see where the sunscreen has been applied. It’s reasonably priced when compare with similar products.
I keep sunscreen in the house for anyone, we have a pool so many times people with kids are here and no sunscreen!!, I thought that this would be an economical way of providing a sunscreen for visitors as I have my favourites, however I found it hard to rub in, might as well have covered them with zinc cream, I did not like the smell, and it did not seem to last very long, as in less than an hour, I was very disappointed as most select products that I have used have been of good quality, I certainly would not buy this again and would not recommend it for anyone, especially children who need to be protected, and realistically the price whilst cheaper is probably not cheap enough to counter the poor quality.
my son has skin grafts on his arms from an accident when he was younger so sun protection is vey important to us. One of my sons pet hates about sun block is the greasy feeling he is left with on his arms, and there was no complaint from this sunblock and it worked his arms didn’t get burnt.
As a ranga with fair skinned babes, good sunscreen is important.
I really like that this stuff goes on purple. It’s hard to tell where you are up to when applying on a wriggling toddler.
I found it is a little greasy though (as are most sunscreens).
Good size tube to throw in the nappy bag.
I purchased this product,we found it spreads well with good coverage ,not too greasy on my hands.It didn’t seem to disappear into skin like some sunscreans can .The children enjoyed the smell & didn’t complain about being greasy .Will purchase again .
My daughter had a sun cream allergy when she was younger so I have to be very careful what we use so when we went over to a family members house and forgot the sun cream understandably I was hesitant to use this brand.but after I was happy with a patch test I used it all over her and no reaction!this is one of the few she doesn’t have a reaction to so I’m happy!a but pricy but I don’t mind.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
