If your DC has sensitive skin, what kind of sunscreen do you use?
My oldest DD has very sensitive skin. I've tried Banana Boat SPF 50 on her twice this season and she has broken out in a horrible rash. She gets very red and her face gets swollen and her arms and legs get red and rashy. What sunscreen is the most sensitive???

My DS has sensitive skin. We were advise as per our PED to try Aveeno Fragrance Free Waterproof Sunscreen SPF 50. We haven't used it yet though.

Last year, I used Water babies by Coppertone on the dermatologist's recommendation. This past weekend, though, I thought he had a breakout from it, so I was looking for other suggestions too.

Thankyou! The only baby wash I can use on her is the Aveeno one so maybe the sunscreen would be the best also.

Kristina breaks out into hives if I use anything on her face. I just recently bought the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby SPF 60 and put it on her, and she hasn't had an ounce of reaction. I've used it 4x so far, and nothing..... It has my HIGH reco!

I just saw an advertisement for tis earlier today. I'm glad you like it and it works for your DD, maybe I'll give that a try.

Re: If your DC has sensitive skin, what kind of sunscreen do you use?
There have been many posts about sunscreen and the chemicals that are in them. I have thoroughly researched sunscreens and feel that California Baby and Badger are the best out there for babies/children.
Take a look at this site, it gives ratings for the safety level of sunscreens:
Skin Deep
This site also has great reviews: Safe Mama

After my son broke out, my dr said the higher the SPF the more additives. Waterbabies seems to be ok so far.
