    I looked on Boots website and I think its sunflower extract but could be wrong
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Agree with Cat that it's Sunflower, the following is taken from two of the Simple range descriptions

    "a special blend of active ingredients and sunflower goodness to naturally protect against sun damage and help prevent sun induced allergies"

    "Sunflower extract and Green Tea help prevent premature ageing".

    The answer is definitely sunflower as the 2 bottles of sensitive suncare lotion mentioned in the competition text both state "sunflower goodness" on the front of them.

    Its the aftersun lotion in the range that states "aloe vera goodness" on it.
