Allergy to SPF

[AKParrotHead]

Any suggestions for someone allergic to, I assume, SPF. Any lotions, oils, chapsticks, etc. with any form of sunscreen in it makes my skin break out into a swollen, bumpy, itchy rash. I just developed this allergy 5 years ago. My skin isn't sensitive to anything else and I can use any kinds of products except SPF labeled ones...

The Liz Earle range uses non chemical sunscreens. Liz has sensitive skin herself and is involved with the British Excema Foundation

You might be allergic to Lanolin - it's horrible nearly everything contains it in one guise or another and then the Doctors have the cheek to say you have very dry skin use some moisturing cream.  I'd rather have dry itchy skin thank you all the same.  I know it might cost a bit, but you can get allergy testing done to see what it really is that makes you all red and itchy.  Anything highly perfumed is off the list as well.  Good Luck
