Sun cream for very sensitive skin

DS is 8 years old and fair skinned. He’s had sun cream on this week and I was prompted to ask for help. Ever since he was a baby, his skin reacts badly to sun cream. His cheeks, arms, torso and neck get little raised bumps all over them. His cheeks look red and rough. Not puss filled spots, more a raised, bumpy rash. We’ve tried various creams over the years - Nivea, Boots own brand, Aldi own brand. Can anyone recommend a sun cream that has worked for kids with a reaction like this please? Thank you

Avoid chemical sunscreen. I'm mega allergic to it.

Try sunsense sensitive (pharmacy) or green people organic kids ones. They are mineral based and don't wind skin up so much.
