Sun exposure

Does anyone know of a suncream which is NOT water resistant? My boys have sensitive skin/occasional mild eczema, and the GP has recommended not using a water resistant suncream, but I can't find one anywhere. Generally I try not to use one at all, and instead limit their exposure to sun - usually not hard in Oxfordshire. But occasionally we do want to be out all day, but I'd love to find a protection cream which doesn't clog up their pores, and need tons of soap to scrub it off in the bath at the end of the day.

Lil,
I don't know how to do a link so you'll have to copy this web address:

Belated thank you. Thanks Niki - have now got some Avon suncream. It is actually described as 'light water-resistant', but it is far lighter than anything else I've come across. It doesn't clog up the pores, and doesn't require hours of scrubbing in the bath to get it off.

Now all we need is some sun ...

In search of - lotion for protection against the sun which lasts "all day" and is waterproof. Anyone know of any and where you can get hold of it?

Anxiously want some for ds now at school and have to apply lotion before school starts but of course the usual ones only last for a short time so what's the use? Sure I read something in a Right Start magazine recently but can't find it now. Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.

It's called P20 and is available fairly widely now. Some chemists, definitely Boots, and some supermarkets sell it. HTH.

I saw it in Boots yesterday, so it's definitely available in Scottish branches. Any decent chemist should be able to order it for you, from their Chemist & Druggist catalogue.

Hi, if you click on this P20 link it takes you to a list of stockists.

The Times supplement today has a whole page ad dedicated to this! Copy and paste www.p20.co.uk/ and it gives you all the info.

Gosh, thanks for all your help! I hope to buy it later today. I've tried the website but can't get the p20 info it's just a blank page but thanks to you all I now know what I'm looking for.
