Ok well this is embarrassing given I've recommended this so many times and used it last year absolutely no problem and no reaction from my eczema suffering child.

Well looks like dd2 has reacted to it (and mildly to dds sunscreen too) so my non allergic child appears to have a rash where I put the sunscreen Confused so could you look at this label for me please and tell me what ingredient is the most likely culprit so I can cross reference alternative I've possibly found and make sure it's missing.

It began with D, but I cannot remember the name of it. It was not a long name like a lot of excema creams, Daph, Dolph or something similar.

We were originally given Uvistat but that contained something that he was allergic to as well.

My daughter is sensitive to cetyl alcohol, which is in most creams but not ointments or oil type products.

From googling Dimethylpolysiloxane is a similar ingredient, a silicone and it looks like it's In Trop 50 juice and nuggets.

Chicken nuggets sold in U.S. branches of McDonald's contain a chemical used in Silly Putty.'McNuggets' sold to American fast food lovers contain dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent used in Silly Putty.

IDK if it's In anything here, it's just what I found on Google. I remember reading about it being in food stuff but looks like 2 different ingredients which are similar.

I have got photos somewhere of my face off it. I had pockets of fluids on my forehead, scalp and cheek. My eyes were swollen shut and my neck was swollen both sides with 2 huge lumps. I was in agony with a throbbing headache, sore throat and gasping for breath. It was about the worst I have ever felt health wise. It is really rare to have a reaction but it's worth knowing if your having a mild reaction to something that that's what it could be.

That sounds awful. Omg imagine if someone ate it. Who's think chicken contained stuff other than chicken (well apart from water and salt etc)
