    Sunscreen allergy

    I'm allergic to all sunscreen, including the hypoallergenic and organic ones, except for zinc. I am actually allergic to the ingredient that makes it sunscreen, if that makes sense.

    Zinc is the safest bet and you can get those invisible ones that aren't so thick. The plus side is zinc has the highest SPF anyway.

    My DS2 has an allergy to most sunscreens, however I have found one that he doesn't react to, it's a commercial brand (not organic or anything like that) but he doesn't react to it, called Auscreen, you can get it from Big W, woolies etc. Worth a go.
