You can try California Baby. It's natural and organic. Try not to over expose your baby though. Sorry for the late reply. You can try California Baby. It’s natural and organic.

It does not need to be water resistant. I do not want to go through trial and error on my baby's skin by purchasing many different brands. Hi,

Namely, I don't know if it is because it's waterproof, but even if is said to be suitable for acne-prone skin, it causes me bad break-outs as well as leaves my skin VERY oily. (which I didn't expect, as it says on the package: non-comedogene & hypoallergenic). Plus it also contains alcohol... I have now read some good commentaries about Biore uv spf 50 and I have also found a sunscreen, that also seems to be good for my sensible acne-prone skin: SunSense Daily Face Spf 50, however I'm not really sure any more, what I can trust... Does anyone have experiences and can give me some advice? Thanks! <font color="#990033"><strong>Krissekas</strong>: It's a bit hard to recommend products as what works for one may not work for another. A lot of this unfortunately is through trial and error. Have you looked up La-Roche Posay's products? If you don't mind chemical sunscreens, some of their range are alcohol free and not oily. Check out their Uvidea XL or Anthelios XL range. You can read reviews by looking up my category on sunscreen.</font> Hi!I’ve been using Avène sunscreen 40 Spf until now, which also contains titanium dioxide as well as zinc oxide, but I’m not satisfied with this product.
