    I'm looking for a sun cream specifically for my face (I have sensitive skin, prone to blemishes) that's suitable for vegetarians?

    I'm also looking for tinted moisturizer for very pale skin, suitable for vegetarians. I was thinking of mineral foundation, but I'm quite wary of the stuff to be honest.

    there's a list here which may be helpful

    I used the Jason Kids one on my daughter last summer when she was a couple of months old so I'd say that's pretty good for sensitive skin!

    Badger sunscreen is a good natural chemical free sunscreen...

    If you do decide to try mineral foundation, I'd recommend Lilylolo. Their stuff is vegan and they have a great range of shades. Porcelain is very very pale https://www.lilylolo.co.uk/products/porcelain-pale-foundation
    Maybe try a cheap starter kit first as they come with a few similar shades!

    not sure about sunscreen but have you heard of micabella cosmetics? they're in most debenhams, bit pricey but their range of make up is fantastic and all natural. their mineral foundation is great for sensitive skin types

    You can try Emani for the foundation, they are vegan. My friend works in the beauty industry and says their products are really good!

    Hey, having sensitive skin that can be prone to eczema anytime I try to put any sort of cream onto my face, I was literally hiding from the sun as I would get burned badly, but a chemist in town recommended La Roche-Posay sun cream......it did the job and its free from Parabens and all that other crap that they put into most sun creams.only thing is it is a bit pricey but cheaper than cancer treatment :P
