Hi

Has anyone found a sun cream that doesn't upset their child eczema?

Altruist or child’s farm

Yes — the key is avoiding the common culprits that most mainstream sun creams are full of.

Look for mineral based sun creams rather than chemical ones. The ones to avoid are oxybenzone, octinoxate and fragrance, all common eczema triggers.

Brands that work well for sensitive eczema skin, Green People do a great kids factor 30, Altruist Mineral is brilliant and very affordable, and Tropic Kids is another good one.

The shorter the ingredients list the better. If you can't pronounce most of it, it is probably not great for sensitive skin.
Hope you find one that works — sun cream shopping with an eczema child is a whole mission.
