Hi,
My two year old has always had problems with sunscreens. I have tried sprays, lotions and sticks. Some brands cause more severe rashes than others. Right now we are using the Banana Boat Baby type. It seems to just cause a minimal rash. He doesn't complain about it but I'd like to find one that doesn't leave one at all.
Any advice would help.
Thanks,
J.

What can I do next?

Go to Wild Oats and look for the natural sun screens. I have used them on my 3 month old and have had no problems!!

Try: Sun Kids Sunscreen in the purple bottle SPF 30+

I recommend Arbonne's suncreen in their ABC line.

Have you tried Aveeno Baby Sunblock? We don't have sensitive skin, but I hear it is a good brand if you do. It has UVA and UVB protection - something you want in any sun protection product.

J.,
Have you thought about trying an all natural/organic sunscreen? You can find a few different brands at any health food store.

Good Luck!

My oldest had a strong reaction to the traditional baby sunscreens when she was 1.5 yrs. We ended up going all natural in our sunscreen. We have found that the Alba brand is great for us. No rash, no runny nose, no breathing issues. Pretty much any sunscreen from a natural food store has been ok, but Alba has been our favorite. Good luck!
