suncream for VERY sensitive-skin baby

Hi, Anyone got any recommendations for baby suncream? Currently using Mothercare 25SPF but my dd seems to be allergic to it - rash appears about 3 hours later. Obviously this is better than sunburn but not very practical in the long run. Any ideas?

the makers of e45 cream also do a sunblock which is ideal for babies/adults with sensitive skin.boots,superdrug all stock it.

Look for one which is marked as PABA free - the PABA chemicals in suncream are a really common allergen. We get one from "Banana Boat" - I think Boots and the larger branches of Tesco stock it.

Roc do a very good cream - available on prescription for sun-sensitive skin. I dont know the names but it is by Roc and for very sensitive skins, in a whte and orange tube.

Sorry if you've read this advice before - but Neal's Yard do a great range - all PABA free!
