Sun cream

Hi, my dd (2) appears to have a reaction to all the suncream I've tried on her.
We had major issues last year too trying to find one/a way of having some on her.
She's such an outdoor kind of girl and even in the winter spends hours outside.

Any advice? I do try to keep her covered but in the hight of summer it's not realistic in our lifestyle to be indoors for hours during the day or with full sleeves and trousers on!

You can get special baby sun cream from Boots, have you tried that? Or have you been using adult sun cream?

I saw a child’s farm baby one in Tesco’s. I don’t know what it’s like but their other stuff is meant to be gentle

My DD reacts to most sunscreens, had to have cortisone cream to clear it up.
We've since found two which she is ok with:
Child Farm
Ladival

Child's Farm is cheaper but in smaller bottles.

Ladival is great. I don't know where you are but in height of summer you absolutely have to keep them indoors or at very least in shade from 11-3. Following this rule you probably only need to apply cream once or maximum twice a day. People seem to plaster it on every hour which I can't see as necessary
