My son has an allergy to sun lotion, the active ingredient is OCTOCRYLENE. He has been tested for this and it came back positive. The creams i have used bring out severe eczema, making the skin sore, red, blotchy, irritated and then going so rough that nothing can go near it because it is so sensitive. Watch out for the lotions that contain this ingredient, or the other name is OCTYL METHOXYCINNAMATE. I will now after reading this try ROC. I'm glad i've found others in the same position.
