I have rosacea is it ok to use sunscreen that contain phenethyl alcohol?
The worst two ingredients according to studies by the Australian Journal of Dermatology are oxybenzone and butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane. Studies indicate that 81% of the reactions caused by photosensitive persons were caused by these two primary ingredients. There can potentially be many other ingredients in the sunscreen that could affect your rosacea or cause your skin to react. I have found the best results and least reactions using sunscreens recommended for babies. These tend to have fewer potentially irritating ingredients.
