Best hypoallergenic sunscreen for sensitive skin
I have tried several brands of sunscreen, including several larger national brands that claimed to be appropriate for sensitive skin and/or those with allergies.  Most were a major disappointment, and some gave me itchy hives.<br /><br />Thus far, this "mineral based" sunblock from Jason brand seems the best sunscreen for my sensitive allergy-prone body. This does not contain PABA.<br /><br />The texture is good, not difficult to rub in.  Once on, it feels OK; I am not conscious of wearing it, unlike some uncomfortable gooey or greasy competitors.<br /><br />Most (or all?) "mineral" or "physical" suncreens and sunblocks tend to look too-white, probably because they share a natural ingredient with traditional white paint.  Once rubbed in, this sunscreen looks somewhat better, less white, compared to competing mineral / physical sunscreens. There are some sunscreens that look even better, but they are less natural, more likely to cause an allergic reaction.<br /><br />Be aware that Jason brand also makes other sunscreens with different ingredients; the others are not necessarily as great for sensitive skin. To add to potential confusion, I think the company has redesigned the labels recently.  I suggest looking for "mineral" or "physical" on the label.<br /><br />Although this is my fav, I would not recommend buying it in bulk quantity unless you have a huge family or group to purchase for.  Most sunscreens do not age well if stored a long time, and in hot weather even more so. Better to buy 1 tube at a time.  I bought this at a local health foods place, so I have no comments on this seller.
