The cosmetician at the pharmacy near my home sold me the avene fps 50 sun spray for my 20 month old daughter, but she sold me the "normal" version for adults.

Hello Madam, I compared the adult product with the children's product, and the children's product does not contain any fragrance. The active ingredients are the same. That being said, the children's product is intended for those aged 2 years and older.
Products for younger children would contain less potentially irritating ingredients like parabens, but that's usually fine.
I do want to mention, however, that spray sunscreens are not recommended. Cream or lotion sunscreens are preferable.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
