Shipping Sunscreen from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia: Cost and Time

What matters when shipping sunscreen

Sunscreens are fairly light creams and liquids, but pressurised aerosol sprays are restricted in shipping; choose creams, lotions and non-aerosol pumps, and combine them with skincare products.

Protection and expiry

For Gulf sun choose SPF 50 with broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection. Check the expiry date is far off, as the product spends time in transit, ask for caps taped shut against leaks, and mineral formulas are gentler for kids.

SPF, PA and UVA protection

The SPF number indicates protection against UVB rays, and the PA mark (such as +++) or the words “broad spectrum” indicate UVA. Read this information on the pack. For daily use in summer choose SPF 50, for the face a light type that does not clog pores, and for children a gentle mineral type.

Water resistance and pack size

Look for “water resistant” for the sea and the pool, with reapplication every two hours as the pack states. Sunscreen is sold as a tube, spray or stick, and an airline may not accept the pressurised pack (the spray) in an air parcel, so ask for the tube instead.

Sprays and heat

Pressurised spray packs are often subject to air shipping restrictions and react to heat inside the parcel, so tubes and sticks are safer for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Check the expiry date, because sunscreen loses effectiveness after it passes.

Transit, delivery and price by country
