TL;DR
Children's sunscreen is available in Sharm El Sheikh pharmacies and can even be cheaper than branded cream back home, but it's safer to bring a small supply with you since the sun burns even in winter.
What the community said
Even in February the sun in Sharm feels deceptively mild, but you can get sunburned within a couple of days. It's recommended to keep a hat on and reapply sunscreen constantly, even in the water.

Prices for children's sunscreen at local pharmacies in Sharm El Sheikh seemed lower than for branded equivalents at chain pharmacies back home. Still, it's advised to pack a small amount of cream from home so you don't spend the first vacation day pharmacy-hunting — you'll need sun protection right away, even in October.
