    My 3.5 year old is allergic to sunscreen, we have tried quite a few including the organic ones etc but have found he`s fine with the Avon Sunscreen, so that`s all we use now for everyone.

    that`s exactly how Matthew`s symptoms were, we washed the sunscreen off straight away and when we trialled a new one we only tested it on a small part of him and if there any signs of redness it was washed straight off him, we also have phenergen on hand due to his other allergies and I think sometimes I used that to take the allergic reaction away.

    But as I said Matthew`s fine with avon sunscreen, it`s just a matter of trial and error all children are different, good luck.
