Hello, Larissa,
Aussie listener here looking for a suncreen option for my toddler who has almost identical allergies to Allison’s daughter. Difference being that the out of nowhere allergy is not banana, but coconut which is cutting out a lot of the good looking natural options here in Australia.
I’m looking at these 3 and wondered if you could do a check over?

Many thanks!
Hi Esther! I took a look at the ingredients in all 3 of these. All of them have the same amount of zinc oxide and have virtually similar ingredients. Good news is that they all look great so take a look at reviews and see what people like the most and you’re good to go!
