Sunscreen & Sun Cream in UAE | SPF 30 to 100

Guide: How to choose a sunscreen for the UAE sun

BMG Pharmacy stocks sunscreen and sun cream in the UAE for face, body and children, in four ranges:

Adult sun protection: SPF 50+ fluids, creams, sprays and tinted formulas from Bioderma Photoderm, La Roche-Posay Anthelios, Eucerin, Uriage Bariesun, Avène, Vichy Capital Soleil and SVR Sun Secure.
Children's sun protection: baby and kids sunscreen from Bioderma Photoderm Pediatrics, Uriage Bariesun Kids, Banana Boat Kids and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics.
After sun care: Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel, Aloe Pura after sun lotion, Uriage Bariesun After Sun Repair Balm and SVR Sun Secure After Sun Milk.
Tanning oils: Banana Boat and Beesline. Some have a low SPF and some none at all, so read the label before relying on one for protection.

The main choice is texture. Fluids and gels feel lighter in humid weather, creams suit dry skin, and sprays cover arms and legs faster. For lips, there are SPF 50+ sticks and balms from Bioderma and Flexitol. Our guide How to choose a sunscreen for the UAE sun compares the options.

Questions we get asked

What SPF do I need in the UAE?

Most sunscreens on this page are SPF 50 or 50+. The World Health Organization recommends sun protection whenever the UV index is 3 or above, with shade, clothing and a hat first, and broad-spectrum sunscreen on the skin they do not cover.

How often should I reapply?

Follow the directions on the pack, and reapply after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Do you deliver sunscreen across the UAE?

Yes: order online for delivery in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, or buy in any BMG branch. Not sure which suits you? Ask a BMG pharmacist in any branch or on 800 2647.
