As a dermatologist who has educated both adults and children in her practice (and as a parent of three) on the virtues of caring for your skin, Dr. Schaffran knows what it's like to be concerned about the types of products you use on yourself and on your children. In researching the market for a safe and protective sunscreen for her own children and her patients, she discovered that many of the products on the market were full of chemicals, additives and preservatives, all which can be irritating to the skin. So she decided to create her own line of skin care products that are chemical-free. Today, patients and parents can buy Dr. Robin for Kids sunscreen, body wash & shampoo and moisturizing lotion online and in stores around the country. Dr. Robin Schaffran, M.D. is a board-certified dermatologist who has been treating parents and children in her Beverly Hills private practice for more than 10 years. She is an attending staff physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is an expert in caring for children's skin. If you want to know about children's skincare, Dr. Robin is an excellent source. She has even perfected a "zone" application technique to help children identify target areas and apply sunscreen themselves using the proper amount with a "dot application" process that helps evenly distribute sunscreen on the skin.
