Whilst in Tenerife, my mum had a great sun spray made by Piz Buin in an aerosol. It wasn't a cream, more like a mist that you didn't have to rub in. Unfortunately, they don't make anything higher than F30 and I need F50 unfortunately. Does anyone know if anyone else makes one? I know Loreal do a spray for kids, but it's still a cream, which I don't really want.

Can ayone help?

ambre solaire do a nice clear gel instead of a cream it goes on really well, or does it have to be an areosol?:)

Doesn't have to be an aerosol per se, I just don't want anything creamy/greasy that has to be rubbed in if I can help it.

We bought Banana boat spray, F 50 which was very good (but that was over in florida) since being back i have seen it on e bay in a twin pack for £3.50 (i think) + p & P.

I'm sure I saw this in Boots today. Is it a spray rather than a cream?

When we were in California last year we were given some free samples of a gel made by a company called Bullfrog and we would not use anything else it is fantastic.You cant get Bullfrog over here but we have also found the Ambre Solaire and it is as good.We wouldnt use anything else now

Thanks. Am googling sun protection in general and it seems you can't get anything higher than F30 in a spray, it all seems to be creams. Although, I am looking at Banana Boat atm.

We bought an aerosol one from florida, I think it was called coppertone, we all used it, sorry I don't know how high a factor it went up to.
