I'm trying to find a sunscreen which I can use on my babies skin without it flaring up her eczema. Has anyone had any success with any in particular?

Hamilton do a range of sunscreen for sensitive, ezcema types.... I used it on my bub and never found a problem with it.... I know there are others but i found this to be excellent.... It is a milk like consistency and its not a barrier type sunscreen which allows the skin to breath and not heat up which casues the reaction in sensitive skin.... let alone babies skin....

It's a white bottle with a pink lid and pink writing...

We also use the Hamilton's range. I have eczema as do my children, and have never had a problem with it. Its usually a bit of trial and error with Eczema as what works for some may not work for others.
My dermatologist recommended it years ago and also told me to use it daily instead of moisturizer as it contains moisturizer anyway aswell as providing skin protection!

I think thats the ego one. I've used both it and hamilton, both are fine. One of them though is only 40 minutes protection! The toddler one. Check out the cover, I can't remember which one it is.

I even bought the bananna boat brand and it was ok too.

Avon caused my DD to flare up. but everyone else i know thinks its great.

Ive found roll on ones react more than the creams.
