Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safest sunscreen for babies in the UAE?
Just Gentle Baby & Kids Sun Protection Roll-On uses non-nano mineral filters (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) that sit on the skin surface rather than being absorbed - the safest sunscreen type for babies from 6 months. SPF 50 PA++, water resistant for 40 minutes, ECOCERT certified organic. For older children aged 3+, the Kids Sunscreen Clear Spray offers SPF 50 PA++++ with no white cast.
Is there a DEET-free mosquito repellent safe for children?
Yes. Just Gentle Herbal Mosquito Repellent uses a plant-based formula with organic chamomile and aloe vera to repel mosquitoes naturally. 92% natural and ECOCERT certified organic. Available as a spray (100ml) for broad coverage or a roll-on (60ml) that can last up to 6 hours - ideal for targeted application on wrists, ankles, and behind ears. Both are DEET-free and suitable from age 4+.
What is the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen for kids?
Mineral sunscreens (like the Just Gentle Roll-On) use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to physically reflect UV rays off the skin. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays. The Just Gentle Roll-On is mineral and non-nano - meaning the particles do not penetrate the skin barrier - making it the safest choice for babies from 6 months. The Clear Spray (from 3 years) is reef-safe and free from oxybenzone and octinoxate.
How do I treat mosquito bites on a baby naturally?
Just Gentle Baby & Kids Soothing Cream is a steroid-free, ECOCERT certified organic balm for insect bites and skin irritation, from 6 months. Contains organic aloe vera, chamomile, lavender, and peppermint oil to cool the skin on contact, calm itching, and reduce redness without steroids or harsh chemicals. Apply directly to the affected area as needed.
Do I need both sunscreen and mosquito repellent in the UAE?
Yes. In the UAE, UV exposure and mosquito activity occur year-round - not just in summer. Sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB damage, while mosquito repellent prevents bites that can cause discomfort and transmit disease. Apply sunscreen first, let it absorb for 15 minutes, then apply mosquito repellent on top. Just Gentle offers both in ECOCERT certified organic formulas free from DEET, oxybenzone, and harsh chemicals.
