A few years ago I wrote a blog post and recorded a video about the sun creams which I have been using for my sun allergies (prickly heat and polymorphic light eruption/pmle)..
However, since then a lot has changed and I found an alternative – a natural sun cream for sun allergy and prickly heat. I got to a point where I started feeling really óff´about using those suncreams even thought they have helped me massively for years.
I then started learning about the harsh chemicals that a lot of sun creams have in them.. as skin is our biggest organ and what we put on it essentially gets absorbed by our body.. it freaked me out a little.. but I wasn’t sure if ill be able to find a natural alternative as lets be real.. finding a sun cream that works for pmle is not the easiest journey..
BUT.. I did find one, and I´ve been using it for about three years now.
Note: I still recommend the old blog post (and video even thought I find it super cringy now) because there is a lot of information that I shared that might be helpful 🙂

Best Natural, Non-toxic Sun Cream for
Prickly Heat & Sun Allergy (PMLE)
Scent Free Sun Cream by Green People
The first time I tried it was on my holiday to Greece and I was really surprised how well it worked and how nice the consistency of it is, its hydrating, has a nice shade which isn’t a thick white and most importantly as mentioned – it´s a natural sun cream for sun allergy and prickly heat..whattt.. This is important both for our bodies as well as the nature (specifically coral reefs when going into the sea).
I have recorded a new video where I talk a lot more in-depth about the suncream as well as sharing some stories which I also hope can give you a little bit of hope too..
You might wonder ¨WHAT.. Factor 15? Is she crazy..?¨ And I completely get that, and I do explain it in the video below! <3
So why haven´t I taken the other video down or deleted the blog post you might ask.
Well.. I´ve been thinking about it a lot and the reason I decided to keep them up is simply the fact of how many people have found them helpful..
I also know that what work for me might not work for you.. so for some people suffering from PMLE might not find this natural alternative helpful.. and lets be honest – if this doesn’t help then of course they will keep looking for something that will – even if it might not be the healthiest at that moment and i completely understand that as I´ve been there myself.
Ok.. so I hope this can help and that this natural sun cream for sun allergy and prickly heat can help your skin as well.. <3
Love,
