  • Good sunblock.

    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.

  • One that works!

    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.

  • Works a real treat

    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!

    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.

  • Great product, 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.

  • NO BURNS

    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

  • Great product at a reasonable price

    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.

  • Used it over summer!

    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.

  • Great family Sun Cream

    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.

  • does its job

    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

  • Great for taking to the beach!

    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.

  • not really impressed

    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.

  • Happy to Use Again!

    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.

  • Easy to use

    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.

  • A gift that keeps giving

    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.

    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.

  • Easy to use!

    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!!

  • Goes on purple

    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.

  • Priced to sell sunscreen but poor quality

    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.

  • Good value sunscreen

    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.

  • Pretty impressed

    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.
