Sun Screen
Fussy I know, but the sun screen we like to put on our kids is simply called P20.
Tried several brands but this is best for them.
Anyone know if this one is available in oz and how much it costs there as it is very expensive here!
TIA
Andrew

Cant say i have heard of this brand, but there are plenty 30+ sunscreens around all good. About $15 for a 1 litre bottle. Something you will have to use daily for at least 6 months of the year.

P20? Isnt that the stuff that needs to 'bind' to the skin for about an hour before exposure to sunlight?

It's good stuff, but beware, my boys still got a bit burnt in Oz. Use it, but still cover up after a few hours at first. It's great on your face as it sinks right into your skin and doesn't make you feel like a greasy chip.

In Australia?
Thanks for all your replies - but can anyone verify that it can be brought at most shops in Australia (Brisbane)?
Thanks

Spoken to mates and as far as they're aware you can't get in Brisbane. On the subject of sun screens, I went to oz from August to Oct last year and found it very difficult to get hold of any sunblock. Luckily I took some factor 50 (Banana Boat Baby Block) with me. Moving in 3 weeks with three kids ages 8, 7 and 5 (all very fair) so taking a job lot over with me in hand luggage! Good luck Annie

I'm not sure you will find it here. But if it is that good, maybe we should import it

Cancer council shops (in most large centres) stock almost nothing but sunblock. You even find it in souvenir shops and beach kiosks along with the ice-cream. Even my newsagent sells it!

I discovered a drawback to P20 binding to your skin.............I'm very allergic to it and spent a very uncomfortable & itchy/blotchy 4-5 days in Spain whilst it "unbound" itself and got out of my system I did look particularly attractive covered in red itchy lumps for the majority of the holiday!!!!
As far as I can see this is the land of sun cream with a suitable one for everyone.
Having just filled in our tax returns we discovered that Mr Foggy can claim tax back against sun cream cos he's outside for some of his working day Good eh?
