Does anyone have a recommendation for sunscreen for my son with very sensitive skin? He is 15 months old, and we are traveling to FLA in the next few days. Thanks!
My daughter has super sensitive skin and we always use California Baby sunscreen. You can buy it at Whole Foods. Another benefit to CB is that it is free from harmful chemicals.
We just got back from AZ - 80s. We used Nutregena spf 70 w/ helioplex lotion on face - the spray mist is great for body, esp for kids who hate to be sunscreened. It worked great. Try a little patch on first to check skin sensitivity. Have a great time.
Shaklee's SPF 30 is the best I've seen. Actually help to heal a childs skin a the same time of the neighbor of a friend of mine. You can never go wrong with anything of Skaklee's. They have the reasearch, the integrity and a stellar reputation.
I've used Banana Boat KIDS, SPF 50 (yellow bottle)- you can get it anywhere- walmart, jewel, target, etc. It's hypoallergenic, tear proof, waterproof, & says it's recommended for children's sensitive skin- as mild as water to skin. my daughter had reactions to some sunscreens, esp. w/ fragrance, but this worked fine:)
Melaleuca has a great sunscreen! Both of my kids have sensitive skin and we use many of their products (laundry detergent, bath bubbles, soap, and of course, sunscreen)
The best sunscreen is a long-sleeved, lightweight white cotton outfit! Oh, and shade!
I would definately go to your nearest health foods store and look for sunscreen by a brand called "Jason". They are excellant for sensative skin because they specialize in organic and truly "Free" products (fragrance free, paraben free, laurel/laureth sulfate free, etc). You won't find harsh chemicals in anything they make. Have a safe and fun trip!
Hi Kara!
My son has same issues. AVEENO makes a natural soy based, i think sunscreen that worked well with him. It was pricey. Another one I got thru Melaleuca products -- worked very well - but that was mail order thru a seller of the products.
Good luck!

We use NoAd at the recommendation of my son's dermatologist at Children's Memorial Hospital. He had eczema and also had minor surgery where a patch of skin was removed. I have purchased it at Walmart and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
