Sunscreen suggestions needed

Hi,

Hope this is the right place to ask.  Can anyone suggest a 'as good as the brands' sunscreen.

Both me and my son are fair and sensitive skinned.  I usually get Nivea spray.

Thanks

    Altruist sunscreen was developed by a dermatologist who was shocked at how many of his skin cancer patients couldn’t afford effective sunscreen. No fancy packaging, no advertising or merchandising, just word of mouth from converts like me (I’m a melanoma survivor). It’s available as a factor 50 cooling spray , factor 30 or 50 cream and face fluid. Trigger spray available this year. We use the spray - £10 ish for two from Amazon. Not icky, doesn’t stain clothes, not visible on your skin. I didn’t believe it for the price when I first discovered it either. 
    I’m not on commission! Google for more information 
    PS I'm a grey redhead (blue eyes), two grandchildren have red hair, other 5 all very fair, all have used it since birth, not a single burn

    I also vote for Altruist. Recommended by my OH's dermatologist as well. Two red head grandsons like it!
