Me too. I find I can tolerate sunscreens formulated with salicylates (aspirin), but they are very weak, perhaps SPF2. I can get a reaction by shaking hands with someone who has regular sunscreens on. If I put normal SPF 12 on my hand, it looks like an acid burn. Guess we're moon people.

I have a massive allergy to ANY suncream, even the non-chemical type with only titanium dioxide in. Does anyone know of any product available that may be of help?
