I would think that the chances are she's only allergic to one of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergiesreactions#post-207660 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:27:16 +0000 autumnlove 207660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: 5% titanium dioxide and 5% zinc oxide. I might try Alba next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergiesreactions#post-207656 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:23:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 207656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I wonder that too, is it the active ingredient (zinc oxide) or something else? Yeah I want to try the Badger brand from Whole Foods. My sister used Dr. Mercola and I forgot to test it!</p> <p>@autumnlove: So you haven't found one yet? What was the active ingredient in yours? Zinc oxide is in mine and they make some using titanium dioxide instead </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergiesreactions#post-207652 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:16:00 +0000 chopsuey 207652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no!!! I wonder what ingredient he's allergic to.. :(<br /> Did he react right away?<br /> I bought california baby sunblock for my LO and we haven't had a problem with it. I think I saw some at Target the other day.. ?<br /> I know Whole Foods sells it.<br /> I would do a small skin test on his arm or thighs before you buy anything. Make sure to call your pediatrician for an allergy test when you get home too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergiesreactions#post-207651 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:15:51 +0000 autumnlove 207651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! My LO had the same exact reaction to Episencial (i think it is organic)sunscreen last week. I did a tiny spot test on her foot a few days ago and she had the same reaction. :-(Keep me posted on your sunscreen search! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergiesreactions#post-207647 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:04:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 207647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week on vacation my son had an reaction to baby sunscreen twice before I stopped using it. I was so upset!! I was using Aveeno Baby- I wanted organic baby sunscreen but there wasn't any at walgreens when I needed it in a pinch. </p> <p>His eyes swelled up and he got red rash spots all over his face and head. It was soo scary. I have no idea what to try, I'm afraid of him having a reaction to any sunscreen I buy.</p> <p>Does your LO have allergies/reactions to things, especially other than food? </p>
