Can anyone recommend a good suncream for little ones with eczema?

This is a question on behalf of my friend who does not use the internet. Her 2 girls are 4 years and 13 weeks - both have eczema and she mentioned she has never found a sun protection that doesn't make the eczema worse. She has tried various sensitive creams form the high street. I just had a quick search on the net for her and saw a green people sun lotion but thought I'd see if anyone out there has this problem and can recommend a lotion? Thanks

We've used one of the Banana Boat range and been ok.

My dermatologist told me to just use an ordinary one but only SPF 25 as anything any higher would be thicker and block pores. I keep dd (3) covered as much as I can so I don't have to put cream on

Also the 13 week old shouldn't be in the sun so doesn't need sun cream

Avene is a French brand which is supposedly good for eczema (Avene is a spa town whose waters are used to treat it), \link{http://www.garden.co.uk/acatalog/THE_GARDEN_PHARMACY__Avene_330.html\available here. There is a specific sunscreen for children.

We use E45 suncream - quite a high factor and a bit pricey but it doesn't irritate their skin.
