It is not unusual for kids to be sensitive, or even allergic, to any of the ingredients used in sunscreens. Reactions to sunscreen can range from mild to severe and can be triggered by factors including fragrance, preservative or UV absorber. More rarely, a reaction can be triggered when an active ingredient in the suns cream comes into contact with sunlight itself. This is known as photocontact dermatitis. The reaction may look like severe sunburn or eczema, and most commonly occurs on the face, arms, back of hands, chest and lower neck.
