I ma sorry to hear about your baby reaction. Try Anthelios paediatric sunscreen or altruist brand

Re: Sunscreen/ezcema help

Thank you for your message.
I just wanted to double check that it wasn't the sun/heat itself that was causing the reaction - have you tried the suncream on a test patch of skin indoors to see if the same reaction develops?

Altruist baby is a great option, you could also try Moogoo natural sunscreen

Best wishes
