I couldn't find any good sunblocker for babys during the last 2 years - so i asked some friends to ship it over from Europe. Well, I found a very small tube of sunblocker in a store at Ruijin Er Lu/Jianguo Lu, but they charged me 70 RMB!
You can buy some suncream at Watson & Carrefour with SPF15 (or so) but I'm not sure if it is suitable for very small kids. If you ask for higher SPF you normally get some cream with optical "bleach".

Normally, I'll just get the UV protection lotion by Johnson & johnson. It comes with SPF15.

Buy it in foreign stores to avoid illegal copies (very common in the local shops)

If you see AVENT products somewhere, check them out, they have sun block for kids. I found it last year, but can't remember where exactly Sad

Do you mean AVENE? We use Avene SPF 40 for our kids:

City and Pines usually stock it, as mentioned above. Additionally, there is a small pharmacy on the mezzanine level of the Shanghai Centre that stock higher-SPF formulas.

Note that US and European SPF scales vary; so read a bit about the differences to ensure you find the level suitable based on the exporting nation.
