in your opinion which is the best? At the moment I am using the Lavender Neals yard one but it's quite hard to rub in so i was wondering what other options there might be?

this has good reviews but haven't tried myself.

That looks good. Following with interest - I have one dc who burns at the drop of a sunhat, one who browns like a Mediterranean!

this is the Neals Yard one:

it is very gentle and smells lovely, just a bit tricky to apply....maybe i shouldn't be complaining...

scurry do you know if its easy to buy in town, say in Waitrose or somewhere like that for example?

I've only seen it on line, sorry

scurryfunge · 25/05/2010 14:24

Google says the brand is available in Waitrose, John Lewis and good Health Stores

Badger sunscreen SPF 30. It smells lovely and is totally natural. We all use it

Isaidheyhoney · 25/05/2010 22:24

Thanks, will try Badger - how often do you reapply it? Is it water resistant?

bubbleymummy · 26/05/2010 00:19

Every few hours. It's water resistant for up to 40/50 mins - sorry can't remember which!

I bought the green people one today from Waitrose food and home and it seems to rub in very nicely!

Excellent...I might get some too!

bubbleymummy · 27/05/2010 22:00

My problem with the green people one is that it contains methoxycinnamate. That's why I prefer the zinc oxide based Badger.
