I think ultrasun and sunsense are often able to be tolerated but it's just a case of trying them to see

Since getting pregnant I have become inexplicably allergic to most sun cream, even the usual hypoallergenic ones. I ended up buy Aloe Pura from Holland and Barrett - I tested it first and went round the shops for an hour to check I wouldn’t react. I have been using it all summer and been fine so far.

Ultrasun and sunsense might be better. My nephew is very allergic and uses a zinc oxide based sunscreen called Badger. It doesn’t have a lot of the presevatives that cause allergies.
