Sunscreen for one year old with eczema

Can anyone recommend a good and easy to use (!) sunscreen for one year old DS. He has sensitive skin and is prone to eczema so I don't want to spend a tenner for a tube of something that will flare him up.

I find Sunsense works well on my DS with eczema. The toddler roll-on is probably the easiest to use for a small child.

Bergaderm was also good for DS but it really, really stings if it gets in the eyes. He rubbed his face once and got it in one eye just after I'd applied it and then wouldn't let me near him with it again after that.

I tried Aveeno sunscreen one year (I use Aveeno cream on him to keep his skin moisturised) and it worked fine, but the next year it brought him out in a rash.

I used Green Baby sunscreen on DD when she was one, she also had eczema. No reactions at all and it smelt really nice. I got it from Waitrose

I'm in a similar position. The only idea I've had so far is avoiding the sun with a uv suit and a hat and a buggy shield. The bodyshop do some moisturiser with spf 15 which you only have to apply once which would probably be quite good for someone with eczema, but it's expensive and a low spf. I'm thinking of using that on dd's face and just trying to keep her in the shade.
