Does anyone know of a suncream that has no limonene, fragrance or oil in it...? 🤞

Have you checked the La roche posay Anthelios range?

ShirleyPhallus · 03/06/2021 18:48

The child’s farm range?

larrythelizard · 03/06/2021 18:51

P20 doesn't.

Also a load of children's nivea ones for sensitive skin don't.

Nor the la-Roche Posay one I use for my face so presumably at least some of the rest of their range.

Can you tell I'm allergic to Linalool?!

I am not sure, but try Ego Sunsense it is made by an Australian company Ego pharmaceuticals, they should have contact details on the web.

Thanks folks - I didn’t think anyone would reply! I had forgotten about p20, and will check out the others too. I used to use Child’s Farm and it didn’t make my eczema flare but the oils and shea butter did give me spots.

I was gonna say sunsense too. Only one my daughter doesn’t react to and it turns out it works better for me too.

I find P20 oily to apply, but fine once it's dried. I don't react at all to it, but it occasionally stings a little on scrapes or insect bites. Not always and I don't know why not. It is expensive, but very very good.

Ultrasun may also fit your requirements. I have never had any issues with it whatsoever, but it does show a bit on your skin. Fine on the beach, not so fine at work.

Others I use (similar sensitivities to you) are from the sensitive ranges of Nivea, Soltan and L'Oreal. I particularly like the L'Oreal for everyday use on my face, neck and the bit beneath my neck, as it really does not show up.

But check ingredients as they may have changed since I used them.

I think the Altruist range might fit your bill. Developed by a dermatologist

Maybe Evy would be suitable, it has a mousse texture and it's nice and easy to apply. Absorbs very well.

They have a kids version as well:

It's meant for sensitive skin.

Another vote for Altruist. Cheap as chips from Amazon Smile
