Best suncream for baby with eczema

Hi. Just looking for any advice of tried and tested suncream for babies with eczema?
My little one is almost 9 months and has had eczema since she was 6 weeks old.
We go away in a couple of months and have no clue what suncream to buy her
We only wash her with dermol wash from the gp and she has zerobase emollient. We have also used aveeno dermexa and she is fine with that.
I'm just so unsure which one to go for so was wondering if anyone in the same situation has some recommendations. Thanks

Altruist is great! Not expensive and made by a dermatologist

La Roche Posay was the best we found. I think they might have once done a kids one, but generally I just use the normal SPF 50 one.

Fwiw, I also have skin cancer (lord knows how because I am psychotic about sun cream, but obviously 40 years ago, my parents were not) and it’s also the sun cream recommended by my consultant as I have to be extra careful in the sun.

It's quite individual, unfortunately, so you might have to try a few. My DD gets on with the Boots Kids Sensitive/Eczema one (white with a blue lid, at least in previous years!).

Interested in this thread?

My child with eczema is allergic to an ingredient in standard suncream and we have to use mineral sunscreen. It took us a while to work out what was causing her eczema to get worse. We use the Blue Lizard kids mineral sunscreen.
