Sun cream and eczema

[Mrs198]

Looking for recommendations for a sun cream to use on my toddlers Eczema prone skin?

The only cream I have found to be kind to my DS skin is child's farm. Any other brand and we get a flare up again.

We use sunsense. As above its the only one that doesn't affect my ds skin. We tried children's farm so it may be trial and error to find the one that suits your toddler best

My youngest DD can only use Ultrasun, everything else causes huge flare ups.

Aldi is the only one that we have found that works for ds.

I have found that sticking to lower factors is best for DD2 who has very sensitive skin. Factor 50 brings out a rash but factor 20 is usually OK. There are loads of sensitive skin suncream brands and I tried lots when she was little. However I settled on a sunhat and Nivea factor 15 in the end.

Superdrug's own baby factor 50 moisturising sun cream. My LO has had eczema since he was 4/5 months and this is the one we've always used. It's funny because his eczema actually improves when we use it! Think it must really lock in the moisture!!

Green people kids suncream is the only one that doesn't bring my son out in a rash. It's a mineral based one.

Sunsense factor 50 here too for dd. But, dare i say it, I try to leave applying it unless we're going to be out for hours in the heat of the day. Sun is good for eczema and she needs all the vit D she can get with her diet!

Boots own sunblock for kids in a white bottle/ blue lid.
