What Makes Tuco Sunscreen Safe for Kids’ Skin?

Every ingredient we use is backed by science — and approved by picky parents.
Saffron
Saffron (Crocus sativus) is rich in antioxidants like crocin and safranal, protecting kids’ skin from UV damage while reducing redness and irritation. Its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties help prevent sun-induced dullness, making it a gentle yet effective sunscreen for delicate skin.
Turmeric
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is packed with curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that shields kids' skin from UV damage while soothing irritation. Its natural healing and brightening properties help prevent sun-induced dryness and dullness, making it a gentle yet effective.
Witch hazel
Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a natural astringent and anti-inflammatory that soothes irritation, reduces redness, and protects kids' skin from sun damage. Its antioxidant-rich tannins help defend against environmental stressors
Licorice
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a natural UV protector and skin brightener, rich in glabridin and antioxidants that help shield kids’ skin from sun damage while reducing redness and irritation. Its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties make it ideal for sensitive skin, preventing sun-induced dark spots and dryness.
Mango butter
Mango Butter (Mangifera indica) is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, providing deep hydration while protecting kids' skin from UV damage and dryness. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help soothe irritation, making it a gentle, nourishing addition to sunscreen for delicate skin.

Why we're better?

Why Kids Need Their Own Sunscreen – Not Yours

Most sunscreens are built for adult skin. But kids’ skin is 30% thinner, more absorbent, and far more sensitive. Adult SPF formulas are made for tough barriers—not delicate, developing ones. That’s why Tuco is different. We use safe, non-irritating filters and skin-strengthening botanicals like turmeric, saffron, and mango butter — all tested on real kids, never just diluted adult creams.
