Have been test driving the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on. Love the product but find that the roll-on doesn’t always work effectively. The kids like to be able to apply it themselves, but i find it hard to roll on to their arms and legs and wonder if i have enough coverage.

I always use Roll on sunscreen for the kids as its easy to fling into their bag. I agree with the previous poster, the roll top sticks and doesnt roll as easily as some of the other brands I have tried. Like the smell of the actual product and seemed to protect my kids well. Thanks for the trial

My kids LOVE having their own roll on sunscreen. I send each of them with a tube to school but all have requested roll ons because they are so much neater and more fun to apply so my six year old boy has already laid claim to the toddler milk roll on. The Toddler Milk does feel gentle and I am much happier to use it than a general sun cream but I often think we should be using the extra sensitive cream on our kids to reduce all chemical absorbers. It does seem to be just as effective but as a large family I just wish I could purchase the extra sensitive sunsense in roll on format like the toddler milk AND in a really large pump tub for value. I think its your best suncream.

Really nice product to use – goes on smoothly and rubs in well and protection is great.

I love the roll on it is much easier to use on delicate areas, like the face. I would prefer it if more of the product was able to come out around the “roller” as it does seem to be a bit of a task in larger areas. The product itself is great, it doesn’t seem to irritate the kids eyes like others do. I would probably buy it for use on the face and a normal bottle for the larger areas.

Have been test driving the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on.Usually not a fan of the roll on sun block as they tend to not let out enough, however, i found that Sun Sense Toddler Milk was easy to apply. I was concerned out the toddler milk initially as it is quite thin, but to my suprise it stays on the skin without feeling thick and greasy:)

Loved the Sun Sense Toddler Milk. The kids love being able to apply it themselves and it is not greasy. It does not leave marks on the kids clothes. I am very happy with it.

Have been test driving the sunsense toddler milk 50ml roll on. Have found the product a great size for keeping in the handbag for emergency application when you dont expect it to be so warm. Easy to use roll on. Great for my 4 yr old, I can just roll it on him and he can rub it in himself. No sticky hands for me. Product seems to be working great, no sunburn here yet this summer.

I have using sun sense for a month and love the product its non greasy and smells nice too. I put it under my makeup each day and then apply on other areas as well,I have had no rashes or pimples using this, which is fantastic.

i have been testing the sun sence milk 50ml roll on ! like the product but find that my kids try to apply it there selfs and i did too and it came out in patches and didnt roll out that good! we thought we covered all 4 kids arms well but they got burnt in little areas! so i would prefer to use sun cream that i could apply with my hands to make sure they are covered everywhere!

Posted by kellie4 13 January 2011

Love it!
Light milky consistency but leaves skin feeling covered without being greasy.
Roll on easy to apply, container allows generous flow of cream, unlike some other roll one I have used.
Daughter has sensitive skin but suffered no reaction as a result of use.
Great product!

I have been test driving the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on. Absolutely love this product! My son suffers from eczema and had NO reaction to the Toddler Milk. I found the roll on to be helpful but also a hindrance. It makes it easier to roll on to a moving target but my son thought it was a toy and wanted to play with it all the time. A couple of times my husband and I even used the toddler milk (when we had forgotten to take our sunscreen with us) and it was great for grownups as well!!

Posted by Amy 13 January 2011

Haven’t had too many opportunities so far to use this product, but so far so good. My little man is 15 months old, so I apply for him, and love the roll-on application. I haven’t had any problems with rolling it on, seems to work smoothly every time. I also like the consistency of the product, as I usually roll it on and them rub it in, so it’s not too think for me to do this, and not too runny that it’s dripped off before I get there.
The size of the product I was sent was also very very handy, with all the rest of the things you need to carry around when your have babies/toddlers.

Have been test driving the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on. Love the product the kids like to apply it themselves and it is alot less messier than reg cream, thank you for the oppurtunity to try.

Posted by maria 13 January 2011

I have been using the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on for the past 2 months. I have found the product easy to use, non greasy and absorbent on the skin. My son did not get burnt when he used the product.

Posted by Cherie 13 January 2011

I tested the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll on. Fabulous product for sensitive skin. My son has eczema and his skin tollerated this product really well.
I reccommend this product to others to use on their kids with sensitive skin :)

Posted by Chantelle 13 January 2011

I love this product! The roll on aplicator makes it so easy to apply. The kids enjoy rolling it on themselves. Its not greasy and leaves the skin soft and safe

Posted by Amanda 13 January 2011

Just trialled the product, thought it was good, but agreed that sometimes the roll on was hard to apply, a job for mum rather that kids to ensure a good coverage, but the roll on was good for the face.

Posted by Louise Lucas 13 January 2011

My severely allergic daughter (aged 23) has been test driving your Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml roll on this summer and is thrilled by this product. Many other brands are thick, highly perfumed and cause her severe allergic reactions. She has found this product to be smooth and light, easy to apply, an excellent size to carry, and not the least irritating. Thank you, Ego, for another excellent product!

Posted by Lyn McGregor 13 January 2011

My grandaughter loved the toddler milk that we got to test drive. She is 5 and loved the smell of it rolling it on with ease. This is the only sunscreen that she is happy to reapply regularly.So no sun burn she has very fair skin and usually gets burnt using other products.

Posted by pam 13 January 2011

Have been testing the Sun Sense Toddler Milk and love it. I throw the roll on into my handbag so it’s always handy. Weather is so unpredictable so always like to have it readily available. I find it applies easily and isn’t heavy. It’s easy to rub in. I do however think that perhaps when babes are swimming for long periods of time, they may require something a little heavier. But if you’re just going to the park or for a walk, this product is absolutely perfect.

Posted by Helen Guss 13 January 2011

We tested the Sun Sense Toddler Milk in the roll on and found it quite difficult to apply. The roll on doesn’t seem to dispense enough at a time to get good coverage of the arms and legs but was good for little faces.

Posted by Suzanne McAdam 13 January 2011

Have been test driving Sun Sense Toddler Milk for the past couple of months and really like it. I have two small children with one suffering badly with eczema. This product hasn’t irritated their skin, provides good protection and is easy to apply – even for the kids. I will buy more of this sunscreen in the future and would recommend it to anyone who has small kids and worry about their skin.

Posted by Amanda 14 January 2011

i have been testing the SUN SENSE TODDLER MILK 50ML Roll On for the last few weeks an i love it on my child’s skin. It is much smoother texture and she has no reaction to it as some we have use effects her ezcema. She is only 21months and applies it her self and she loves doing it every day before we go in the sun. She loves it and i love it so two thumbs up for us.

roll on tuff stuff to use product is great application is not.
uneven coverage via applicator not enough comes out
children did not like being rolled over that often
but cream feels nice on.

Posted by antz 14 January 2011

Cream feels nice non irritating
roll on difficult to apply ie not enough seem to come out
need better applicator felt the same as jill not sure if enough coverage on arms and legs.

Posted by AG 14 January 2011

I liked the Sun sense roll on. I found it not to be sticky and didn’t mark clothes. Even a child with ezcema and sensitive skin didn’t react when tested in a small area, so used over whole body with not a problem. I did wonder though when covering the larger areas that the roller didn’t let enough through so felt like I was putting it on for a very long time. Not too good with impatient kids who just want to play. Overall, a good product it did the job and nobody got burnt.

Posted by Nicole 14 January 2011

I thought the roll on was so easy to use on such little arms and legs and easy to roll on to your finger to apply on little faces as my son has only just turned 1. My son didn’t worry about having the product rolled on he liked watching his skin turn white where the sun screen was rolled onto! I also liked the fact that it workrd well, no sunburn and had a nice fragrance!

I have been using the toddler milk for quite a while now. My 21/2 yr old has sensitive skin and she has nad no reaction at all. It doesn’t make the skin greasy at all and I don’t have to wash my hands after I have used it. I found it easy to apply except for the face where I end up applying it to my hands and then rubbing it into their face. I also have a 10 month old and had no issues using it on him when he was younger. It doesn’t stain clothes and the size is handy because there are so many other things to carry around with babies. It’s easy to keep in the bag all the time.

At first I was not sure – the kids did not seem to get the same coverage as I would have received with a normal sunscreen, and I felt that I need to reapply frequently, however, I have been won over. It is a great non greasy formula and the kids love to use the roll on, but for me who is applying it, it ends up being rolled on up and down arms and legs repeatedly and then rubbed in to make sure that you are getting an even cover. Ears and necks were quite difficult as you do need to put it on the hands spread it on the hands and then rub it over the ears etc to apply so you feel like you are using more than you actually need to as it does absorb into the hands quickly. Positives is that it does not stain clothing and I have found that they do get about 2 hours in the sun before it needs to be re-applied. The roll on bottle is very convenient as it is easy to slip into the handbag.

Sunsense toddler milk roll on was easy to use, easy rub in, light, no greasy residue, gently on my boys skin (20months + 3months old) and compact to fit in the nappy bag, 5 stars from me!

Posted by Melinda 15 January 2011

We loved this! My twins are 20mths and have eczema plus sensitive skin, so we are especially careful about products we use. The toddler milk was perfectly fine, with no irritation and really easy to apply. Loved the roll on ease and light lotion. Would recommend this 100% for children.

Posted by Jenny - mum of twins 15 January 2011

Have been using the toddler milk for the past few weeks and my girls seem to love it. The roll on may become blotchy, but they don’t mind that I have to keep rolling as it seems fun for them. Love that it doesn’t feel sticky on their skin, and my 3 year old with eczema and allergies hasn’t had any reactions using this product. No sunburn and a fantastic product. Will definately keep using. Thanks Ego.

Posted by Amanda 16 January 2011

I have been using the toddler milk for 4 weeks now and compared to other similar products I find that it has a lighter texture and goes on smoother. My daughter gets eczema which means that most products irritate her skin, however, I have noticed that the toddler milk causes very little irritation to her skin. My family will defiantly continue to use this product.

I have been using the sunscreen on my 2year old daughter who has sensative skin with no reactions, fabulous. We loved the roll on but did find it needed to let more sunscreen out to get a good coverage. The other disadvantage was that it is only water resistance for 40 mins, us been water lovers we generally spend longer periods of time in the water than 40mins. Apart from that really enjoyed using this product.

Posted by Leanne 18 January 2011

We tested the roll on. The size is great! It fits in the pockets of the school bags easily and is easy enough for the kids to apply and use themselves. Both my kids have had terrible eczema and have had some really bad reactions to many products over the years so I was watching this product carefully once they used it.
No reactions whatsoever so we were all thrilled. The lotion is nice and light and not oily and the kids seemed to like it.

Will buy again. Thanks for the opportunity to test it as it now has a new buyer :)

I have been using the roll sunscreen on my 17 month old daughter. We love it. The size is great, easily fitting in her nappy bag. I love that it is non greasy and easy to apply. My daughter also likes to hold it and roll it on for me to rub in. We have not seen any skin reaction to the product which is wonderful as our toddler has sensitive skin. We did have to reapply after being in the water, however I expected that from a lotion. Overall we love it and have allready putchased one for Grandmas house! Thank you.

We have been test driving the Sun Sense Toddler Milk 50ml Roll and love the product. We are a skin sensitive family so this is a product that suits us well as we have no adverse reactions, get great coverage & the kids can apply this themselves. It is a handy roll on that fits nicely into my handbag, the kids swimbag etc. I can also pop one into each school bag this year (We went and purchased two more) without the worry that a tube may get squashed & leak. We reapplied every 40 minutes when swimming over the holidays which was OK as it let the kids have a break out of the water & it worked really well. We would definately recommend this product. Thankyou EGO

I am using the Toddler Milk currently on my young primary school aged child. We have been using a sunscreen containing insect repellent from another reputable company, but it is too harsh for her face – even leaving mine feeling tingly. The toddler milk is light, easy to apply and still with a good sun protection factor. It is convenient, fitting into a handbag or backpack without taking up too much space. Only drama is that it sometimes tickles when it is applied!! Would recommend this product.
