Sun cream for sensitive skin? (Kids) help please!

Please can anyone recommend sun cream for sensitive skin?

my 3yo seems to react to sun cream but not every time?
last year we used child’s farm and he was fine, but this year it doesn’t seem to be (it’s a new bottle) and whichever one the preschool he goes to use, doesn’t agree with him either and he’s got really sandpaper like skin, bumpy and itchy wherever the sun cream has been.

I’ve washed it off and given piriton, hopefully that helps? But have no idea what other sun creams to try?

Sunsense was the only one my DS could use for years. We used the roll-on toddler milk.

I find piz buin ok on body, but makes eyes sting and react on face ( even the face version).
La rosy on face is ok.

We also use wide rimmed hats a lot and long sleeve thin linen shirts in summer to reduce how much is needed.

My DD is super sensitive to lots of brands but is absolutely fine with Malibu Factor 50 in a spray bottle and Lidl’s regular one, not the waterproof one.

My son was prescribed Delph suncream and that’s been fine for him. Everything else caused rashes.
