DS gets on well with the Nivea one for sensitive skin (think it's got Baby in the name!). We Doublebase, wait until it's absorbed then put suncream on top. Throughout the day he just gets suncream reapplied, then washed off before more Doublebase and bed.

We use soltan (sp) I think its boots own brand, its a baby one unscented, for sensitive skin etc. Its the only one we can use without a massive reaction. I use cream first, leave as long as possible then suncream. Always wash off before bed. Hope you find something that works for your little one.

I'm afraid it's a case of trial and error as what works for one child may cause a reaction in another. The only one DS doesn't react to (so far!) is Sunsense Sensitive 50+ (expensive Australian brand available online). There used to be a list of low-allergy suncreams on the Eczema Society's website.

Thank u for your replies. Darts at the dartboard it is again then! I'll probably just look for no parabens, no perfumes & the least ingredients I guess and start there.
