Yes my DD has sensitive skin and even the toddler and baby sunscreens gave her a rash. I went to my local chemist and looked at all the ingredients in all the sunscreens they had on display and the one that had the least was Hamilton sensitive (not the toddler one. For some reason it has more ingredients). I bought it and my DD had no issues with it. This is what I continued to use. My SIL had issues with her daughters too and she bought the skin cancer council one and has had no issues with it.
Yep I'm mildly allergic too, get this burning sensation when I put the wrong sort on. Most definitely cannot use anything in with the old-style PABA ingredient.
What I can use is the ego sunsense range, plus any that are zinc-based not chemical-based.
Thanks so much for all the replies. I jumped on the Natures Cradle website (since I'm here in SA anyway) and they're revamping their sunscreen and are now selling Wotnot.
Luckily, I was able to buy it in my local health food store. It's a bit pricey ($25.99 a tube), but you can't put a price on your children's health. I put a couple test patches on his arms when he went to bed and he's had no reaction. So hopefully we're on a winner and we won't have any more problems. I guess the real test will be his face. That seem to be where it reacts the most.
Thanks once again for all the great replies and suggestions!
