light, everyday sunscreen for 6 yr old - recommendations please :-)

My 6 yr old dd's nose is already covered in freckles. It looks very cute, but as she's very pale with quite a few moles (and as I'm married to a paranoid Australian ) I think I need to put sunscreen on her every day. However I don't want to plaster on factor 50 as that will just clog up her pores.

Can anyone recommend a light sunscreen suitable for use everyday? The moisturiser I use is SPF15, but as it's anti-ageing, I don't really think it's suitable for a 6 year old!

ps forgot to add, she has very sensitive skin - much to her distress she can't have her face painted as she comes up in a rash almost immediately so it needs to be hypoallergenic too

Aveeno fatcor 50 spray on is fab - is an aerasol kinda thing so they just close eyes and a quick squiry in the face (not as harsh a it seems) and they are protected for the day.

DS1 is very pale with sensitive skin. We use Nivea but that's been trial and error. Ambre solaire brings him out in a rash as does Boots Soltan.

I've read one here though that others have had problems with Nivea.
