Let’s get out there this Summer with Boots UK

When the sun makes an appearance be ready to slap on the Soltan and get out there and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re chucking beach towels in the car and heading to the coast, grabbing a frisbee and heading to the park with your kids or inviting your friends around for a last minute BBQ – be assured you’ve got sun care covered with uncompromised Soltan 5* UVA protection so you can concentrate on being spontaneous!

For paddling and playing...
For kids who want to splash away the summer Boots UK has launched NEW Boots Soltan Kids Once Waterplay Spray SPF30 or SPF 50, 200ml, £16.99, which provides up to three hours of water resistant protection and up to six hours sun protection. So whether they love to spend their time swimming in the pool,  jumping in the waves, or splashing in puddles (suncare is for cloudy days too!), parents can enjoy piece of mind knowing their child is fully protected from the sun’s rays in the water, for up to three hours - with a high SPF and Soltan’s 5* UVA protection.

 
For smiley (not sandy!) faces...

And to make sure that your little ones are ready to rush out and enjoy the sunshine this summer, Boots UK has also developed NEW Soltan Kids Sensitive Lotion SPF 30 or SPF 50+, 200ml, £11.99, and NEW Soltan Kids Sensitive Spray SPF 30 or SPF 50+, 200ml, £12.99. The ultra light, hypoallergenic formula reduces the risk of skin allergies and has been approved by dermatologists.  Its unique new sand-resistant technology means no sandy skin induced tantrums. Parents can kick back and relax knowing their child’s vulnerable skin is cared for while they build their latest sand castle. And you won’t be bringing the sand home from the beach!


For glow getters...

NEW Soltan Protect & Tan Spray, SPF 8, SPF 15 or SPF 30, 200ml, £13.99 provides the maximum 5*UVA protection rating, in a new handy spray format. The special ultra-light texture formula supports your skin’s natural tanning without having to compromise on SPF protection. It also contains Tanositol SPE, an innovative ingredient naturally derived from the fruit of the carob tree, that helps stimulate the body’s natural tanning reaction.  Whilst the patented antioxidant complex helps to protect against long term skin damage and ageing by limiting the production of free radicals caused by sun exposure.  
Clare O’Connor, Boots Suncare Expert, explains, “We all want to get out there this summer and enjoy those fun summer experiences and it’s important the family is safe in the sun. Our exciting new products mean parents can rest assured their children have uncompromised protection with Soltan’s 5* UVA protection, and be safe themselves too.”
