He recommended sunscreens with only zinc oxide or titanium oxide. I&#8217;ve used Neutrogena Sensitive Skin which uses only titanium oxide and Blue Lizard Sensitive which has both titanium and zinc oxides and did not have a problem. If you can find one that&#8217;s oil-free and maybe has just one of these two natural ingredients that might work. Beyond that, I don&#8217;t know of any other product you could use. I hope you&#8217;ll try every option before going without sunscreen.
