SUNSCREEN ALERT! Fruit of the Earth Block Up! Full Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection Suncare

Fruit of the Earth
Block Up! Full Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection Suncare
Sport SPF 50 with Aloe Vera


This sunscreen claims to be water/sweat resistant. It has anti-oxidant with vitamins ACE. No matter how good it claims, there is no point of using it if the ingredient causes hypersensitivity to me. I have never ever got issue with any brand, except this product. 

I wore this in the morning and the reaction became prominent in the evening. I was not even sweating on that day. I applied this product on my face and arms. Luckily, my face has no major issue... (I wonder why). However, my both arms felt itchy with tiny little bumps appeared all over. Some bumps were with pustules. 

The conditions worsen on second day and continue being itchy for the about 4 days! My arms completely healed after a week.

I bought this product at local drugstore and it wasn't cheap! (RM34+) 

Just for your references, I include the active ingredient facts: 
Avobenzone 2.0% (I suspect this causes the reaction)
Homosalate 9.0%
Octinoxate 7.5%
Octisalate 5.0%
Octocrylene 1.5%
Oxybenzone 5.0%
