SIX SAFE SPFS TO TAKE ON HOLIDAY

Green People Scent Free SPF 30 Formulated with the Marine Conservation Society, these are also non-toxic. Not the lightest, but virtuous, good value and effective. £22.50 for 200ml, greenpeople.co.uk

Weleda Edelweiss SPF 30 Light, long-lasting, blended with organic sunflower and nonnano mineral UVS, this is the one Dr Prager recommends (and no, he’s not on commission).

£22.95 for 150ml, weleda.co.uk

Aethic Sôvée SPF 40

A new favourite, this has been tested for full eco-compatibility and provides broad spectrum, photostable ingredients

(ie, they won’t oxidise on your skin). Did I mention it doesn’t leave a white residue? As good as SPF gets, and pricey. I use it on my face and hands and keep everything else covered. £53 for 150ml, victoriahealth.com

Is Clinical Extreme Protect Factor 30 Using advanced technology to wrap molecules so that they don’t oxidise on the skin, this leaves no residue behind and provides gold standard protection.

£64 for 100g, victoriahealth.com

Zelens Daily Defence Broad Spectrum SPF 30

Also microencapsulated, this soaks in fast, feels light and provides excellent protection.

£55 for 50ml, looksfantastic.com
