What is the safest amount of sunscreen i can use without getting contact dermatitis?

Not the right ? : Contact dermatitis is cause by particular components in sunscreens and not by the amount. First determine which component you are sensitive to either by trial and error or patch testing and then read labels to avoid that particular component.

Anyamount: Contact dermatitis is an allergy, the quantity of exposure is less important than the agent - usually.
