Barnardos launches toddler sunscreen
Barnardos New Zealand has launched its ‘Toddler’ range of sunscreen in partnership with the Cancer Society, to coincide
with the start of summer.
"This is a great initiative for Barnardos,” says Murray Edridge, Chief Executive of Barnardos New Zealand. “We’ve been
working with our Cancer Society colleagues to help protect children from the sun on one hand and to help them thrive on
the other, as funds raised through sales will go towards our child and family services.”
“Barnardos staff, early childhood teachers and KidStart Caregivers are careful to ensure the children they work with are
always protected from the burning rays of the sun. Hats, shade and sunscreen are all part of their sun safety regime.
The arrival of a quality sunscreen especially designed for young children’s sensitive skin will make this much easier.”
The SPF30+ formula is water resistant, and has broad spectrum UBA and UVB protection. It is fragrance free and is
designed for young children’s delicate skin. Barnardos Toddler Sunscreen is available in a 200ml bottle and a handy 65ml
roll-on tube, and can be purchased from supermarkets, The Warehouse, Kmart, and Farmers. A small percentage of the sale
price will go towards Barnardos child and family services.
Parents who want to learn more about the best ways to protect their children from the risk of skin damage in the sun
will find useful information on the Cancer Society’s website: www.cancernz.org.nz or on www.sunsmart.org.nz.
