Worst eczema flare up in over a decade

I was very excited to try this as I had previously received a sample of the Queen Screen and had enjoyed the texture. Unfortunately a day after using it for the first time I developed the worst eczema flare up I’ve had in over a decade. After 2 weeks of calming it down and not changing anything to my routine, I decided to give this spf a try again. After a couple of hours I got the eczema rash again. I decided to patch test it on my forearm to make sure it was the spf, and as expected my arm also developed an eczema patch in just a few hours. Incredibly disappointed this happened, as I was reading a lot of people with eczema or rosacea have had this experience with this brand, particularly with the mineral SPF. If the company has followed up on this, I would be very interested to understand if the cause could be linked to the very high quantity of alcohol denat in the formula or other ingredients.

The only thing I would change about this sunscreen is the size - I'd supersize it. I have sensitive skin that tends to be dry and this doesn't break me out, irritate my skin or dry it out, pill, or irritate/sting my eyes. It blends in so easily and feels like nothing on the skin. Plus, it sits nicely under any makeup! I have used A LOT of sunscreens and this is the one I always come back to, even through being on oratane/roaccutane.
