    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!
