I second the Lavera one that TooTicky recommends - any Lavera one in fact. They do a children's one that is coloured when you spray it on so you can see which bits you have missed. Excellent stuff.

You might be interested in an article I have just written about choosing a sunscreen for children colinsbeautypages.co.uk/choosing-a-sunscreen-for-children/

on my blog.

I think that there is surprisingly little choice in this area.

We use Ultra Sun. They do a whole range but we use the supersensitive one which they say will last the whole day (although when abroad we tend to reapply to be on the safe side!) Available on line or John Lewis sell it.

Sunsense toddler milk is good (my kids have ezcema) - you can get it off a retailer on Amazon. It's very smooth and non-sticky.

I've used Bergaderm on DS since he was little, it's the only one I've used so far that doesn't produce a nasty skin reaction. Plus, it's easy to put on and not greasy! I know Sainsburys sell it, not sure where else you can find it.

(PS - works great on the rest of the family too, even stops my ridiculously pale skin from turning lobster red !)

Green People do a good cream for littlies but for v. sensitive skin try <goes to get tube> Lavera Naturkosmetik Sun Milk, Neutral, SPF 40.
Really really good and never stings - even my ds2 who reacts to almost everything and finds most creams sting a lot finds this okay.
Try health food shops or online natural product places.

DD is 22 months old

She has flared up with a nasty rash the last couple of days when I put sunscreen on her.

I used the Nivea baby stuff on her yesterday (funnily enough I used it with no problem last year!!)

I used the Boots Soltan Kids stuff on her today.

Has anyone else had experience with this, and what worked best for your child?

(Sorry, I know there was a similar thread earlier today, but that was for a slightly older child, which is why I'm also posting this. Thanks)
