Body sunscreen recommendations for sensitive skin?

I have eczema and sensitive skin and I find most Sunscreens cause it worsen, even Aveeno. I have it on my arms but sunscreen causes it to spread to my legs. Any recommendations? Thanks

I use cerave ,cetiphil ,or first aid beauty sunscreen they all  do the same thing without leaving worsen in dry skin .You could also try mixing a lotion sunscreen with a lotion  they both do the same thing without leaving worsen in dry skin

Re: Body sunscreen recommendations for sensitive skin?

I have very sensitive skin with psoriasis, and have never found a sunscreen my skin will tolerate, particularly my face.  Everything makes my skin red and irritated, and my psoriasis worse.  Interestingly, all Aveeno products I've tried greatly irritate my skin.  Here are a couple ideas based on my experience that  - may - be helpful as you look for a sunscreen that won't cause your eczema to spread. 
Zinc - I avoid all skin care products that contain zinc, which always irritates my skin.  Many sunscreens contain zinc, which you may want to avoid if your experience is like mine.

Salicylates - Some sunscreens (including Aveeno) contain Salicylates, which can worsen eczema and other skin conditions.  This might be another ingredient to avoid.

Skin problems can be so frustrating, I know!  Good luck.
