Best sun cream for a child with sensitive skin/eczema?

hi there, can anyone recommend a sun cream for an 18month old with eczema? The variety in boots is just so vast, many claim they are dermatalogical or hypoallergenic, or mild especially for babies, but last year we used one recommended for babies and she came out in a terrible rash (so quickly and so fast I thought it was meningitis and took her to A%26amp;E, they said she had a reaction to sun cream or possibly had a viral skin rash, so if any parents can personally recommend a brand (avaliable in uk) that they have had personal sucess using with their child with sensitive skin/eczema, I would appreciate your comments, and I will buy the brand that has the most possitive feedback! thanks.

You could try Dr Hauschka sunscreen cream for children (SPF22). From the health food shop. Its very expensive but doesn't contain many of the harsh chemicals in some other brands. Its a mineral sunscreen so has no chemical sun filters
Reply:the E45 is widely used.
Reply:e45 is very good as my brother uses it. but you can get a sun factor 30 from good health shops that are ideal for people that have skin allergy's. my friend has something similar and his doctor recommended very small amounts of time on a special sun bed that they have in some hospitals,or you local tanning centre.it cleared his exma up very quickly so therefor he no longer has to suffer the way he used to. am so sorry your little boy is having to go through such an awful skin condition so young. wish you and your family all the best xx
