Has anyone found any sunscreen that doesn't irritate your kids eyes? I have one that states "as mild as water" and my daughter will complain that it stings and her eyes will get red and puffy. It makes for not so much fun in the sun!
Use those sunscreen sticks on her face and close to her eyes so it won't get in. My son also has very sensitive eyes.
I would use a sunscreen stick rather than a spray or cream for the face , I do this plus my kids wear a hat and sunglasses so their faces are sheilded as much as possible
I always use the sticks on their faces, too.
Vanicream makes some really good sunscreens that were recommended by our dermatologist for our daughter (at just over 12 months old) because of her eczema and sensitive skin.
It's available OTC, but it's not a common product, so you may need to ask your pharmacy to order it. They can usually get it from their distributors in 24 hours.

The lotion, which we use after each bath for our daughter, has been great at controlling her derm issues.
I like the sublock sticks for the face. I have always had the same problem w/ sunscreen burning my face & eyes for ever. I've found some lotions that are ok but really those sticks are great and so easy to apply and I've felt no tingling/burning & have had no complaits from the kids either.
Have you tried/heard of Arbonne ABC sunscreen? Contact me offline if you would like more info. ____@____.com
Good luck.
i would buy Badger as it absorbs easiest and is the least toxic sunscreen out there. My daughter has never complained
Aveeno Baby is pretty mild.
