which suncream?

[sirenz]

At the moment I am using Banana Boat 30+ kids suncream for ds, but I was hoping to find an organic one or a natural one without chemicals. ATM Banana Boat is the only one not to react with ds skin, others I have tried he has come out in a rash.

any suggestions??

Just to point out: there is no such thing as sunscreen without chemicals. Chemicals are what everything is made up on. You and I are made of chemicals. Pure water is a chemical. Every organic and inorganic thing anywhere is made of chemicals.

Something that is marketed as "chemical free" is actually false marketing. Organic things may or may not be less harmful than inorganic things. Just because it comes from nature doesn't make it better: there are many extremely toxic things in nature

Personally, if you have found something that his skin doesn't react to, I'd stick with that. Something that has "natural" extracts in it may or may not be safer for him than something that has the more pure, manufactured forms of similar chemicals in it.

(This is just my personal hobby-horse. I use a lot of organic products, and there's nothing wrong with them at all - they might be better or worse than other products that do the same job. But I hugely dislike the whole marketing suggestion that they are necessarily safer than other products just because they use extracts from some plant or some bug or whatever, because it's misleading.)
