sun creams

[saltnpepper]

does anyone know of a high factor waterproof sun cream(spf 30) that does not leave your skin feeling sticky and looking shiny? one that contains insect repellant would be an added bonus.

My two boys have quite fair and very sensitive skin so I always look for good quality (not sticky or shiny) and high SPF cream, partly for the obvious protection, but also for the ease of use on two hot, complaining children who can't wait to get back to what they were doing...Last year I found that plain old Boots Soltan was the best for us! Adults one, not children's because they're all blue or green. (More chemicals to set them off!) We had no rashes, no sunburn, no sand stuck all over the place and yesterday I bought some more. It's BOGOF at the moment. They do one with a repellent in, but I've avoided that one aswell, for the same reason, but would presume it's just the same stuff. (Would love to know if anyone has a sensitive littlun who can use the repellent one?)

I always use a factor 50 for babies. It rubs in well and is not greasy.
