A good sunscreen for a sensitive scalp? by Irishdeerhunter on 05 Jun, 2009 11:56

Having spent a week in sunny Boston and due to the good weather here in Ireland, I now require a new sunscreen for my dome.
Whilst in Boston I tried two different sunscreens (one was Aveeno UC), both of which caused irritation to my scalp. Up to that point it was pretty much irritation free for about 2 months. I hate to say it, but, damn the sun!
So, what is recommended for a sensitive scalp?
Thanks -

Did you try the Aveeno sunscreen that is meant for the face? That is what I use and I love it. I use the SPF 30 and it does a great job. I am in South Florida, where the sun is brutal, and I find that the Aveeno Face SPF 30 is perfect.

I have used the banana boat sport 30 spf. It hasn't caused any irritation and I too have a sensitive dome. The one I use says "Dri-Loc" on the front of the bottle. It's a spray so it's really cold & feels great on the noggin.

I tried the regular Aveeno and also had irritation from it. What I found works really well is the Aveeno Baby SPF 55.
With that I get absolutely no irritation and I have the high SPF that I need being as pasty white as I am! -

Yes, Aveeno active SPF 30.
Although there are no active ingredients which I feel may cause sensitivity, maybe, the problem originated in the first sunscreen that I used (near the end of the bottle). I will try the Aveeno again, but, is there a sensitive Aveeno SPF.
My problem here is there is little by way of sunny weather, so, when it comes along, I forget the midge spray and sunscreen as they are not yet habit forming. -

I will look for both the banana boat sport & the Aveeno Baby SPF 55.

Super sensitive skin here as well.
Based on SLY recommendations I am using Banana Boat SPF 50 Sport.
Seems to work real well for me. I use the lotion variety. -
