Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I imagine there are a few brands around, but since my requirements are quite specific I was wondering if anyone had any favourites? I'm actually allergic to UV rays, I come up with a very bad rash in the summer so I usually wear between 40-50 SPF. Mind you, it's hard enough finding that with normal brands... This is going to get to be an issue as the University are cancelling our free bus travel and I'm going to have to cycle to work, so my usual strategy of not going in the sun is scuppered. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hiya, The only vegan brand that I've seen that goes that high is Lavera - they have a 40 spf. You can see it here: http://tinyurl.com/6ne6d6 I bought mine at Fresh & Wild (now Whole Foods), but I've seen them in other health food shops & quite a few places online. I can point you in the right direction, if you need help. :-) It makes you quite white, but works very well. good luck! carole > I imagine there are a few brands around, but since my requirements are > quite specific I was wondering if anyone had any favourites?

I have used their SPF20 facial one and that's great, so I would assume the SPF45 is okay too.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Jasons do one that's something like SPF 46, although it might be a kids' sunblock. Still, I doubt that would make much difference! If not, the Lavera one Carole suggested sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 This is the one I use, mind you its only spf 30:- http://www.yaoh.co.uk/catalog/bodycare-suncare-c-21_32.html?osCsid=1fog8rl4fan88\ nodl947n5ik43 Â Peter vv gayalondiel99 <gayalondiel Monday, 9 June, 2008 9:24:59 AM Vegan sunscreen I imagine there are a few brands around, but since my requirements are quite specific I was wondering if anyone had any favourites?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'm going to try the Jason's one as the higher SPF the better - I find kids' sunscreens tend to be nice and robust so it should be good. But I tend to vary my brand every now and then, so thank you for the list!
