About 5 years ago I developed an allergy to suncreams, I have tried so many, even hypo allergenic ones - is there an alternative I can use that protects against the sun whilst I am outside?

There are some great clothing lines out that block more UV rays than creams! Here is just one.

O.K. I agree with your other answers 100%.
However, maybe I can give you some input to what you might be Allergic to in the Hypo-allergenic products. In fact, I'll let you know what I use. Don't put any products like this, around your eyes, perspiration causes it to gradually work it's way into them.
I didn't wear Block for years, I was allergic also. I wore hats, tried to avoid the sun, but drove along the Coast for many years, and had sun through the windshield, felt great, bad deal for the skin.
I had a Cancer invasion in a couple of cells on my face, so I had to use some Bunker Busters to get rid of it. (Surgical Blade) actually.
I continued my search to find a Sun Block that I could wear. Being an Esthetician, (Facialist),( my spell check just tried to change it to Racialist) no no no no no no..
I have had the education to help back me up, on keeping my skin healthy, and continue the search. Where did they move the Fountain of Youth to? The cutting table? EEK
I ended up finding out that I had a reaction to many items in the sunblock.
I'm not sure about this spell check, or if I am getting it right.
Octi ethyl methyl cinnamate.
Sodium Laureth Sulphate
PABA ( Para Aminio Benzoic Acid)
Formaldehyde (Great Embalming Fluid)
And, don't forget, just because it doesn't have Sodium Laureth Sulphate in it. It doesn't mean that they can't have two separate ingredients, when combined, will become SLS. Pretty bad huh?
I found something via my sisters Dermatologist, that seems not to burn, is non-Comedogenic (Doesn't promote pore congestion), and it can be ordered by the following:
Product is Vanicream SPF 35
Pharmaceutical Specialties
Rochester, Minnesota
1 800 325 8232

My glasses fell in the toilet at Marshalls, of which I didn't retrieve, except to trash them, so I have really worked to read this off of the Label for you., I am not a Rep., but get a discount for my Estheticians Licensese, etc. I totally understand your concerns.
All skin, any Culture, is susceptible to skin cancer. Our ozone is slowly being depleted, I'll bet it was great back in the Egyption period. I definitely would have been a sun worshiper. Take Care, Marilyn

Poor you!
If you don't want to stay stuck indoors all the time...and who would when the weather is as fine as it is right now then the best thing to do is to build up a tan very slowly.
If you maybe sunbathe early in the morning before it gets too hot or late in the afternoon when the sun's less strong you should be able to build up a gradual tan but although that should prevent you getting sunburned I guess that still won't give you any protection against the harmful rays.
Maybe your doctor or a dermatologist could recommend something?
Seems such a shame to have to cover up when the sun's shining
Good Luck

Stay indoors ,or, in well shaded areas between 10 a.m. - 2p.m.
Then, go for it!
You actually need some sun (vit D)
The sun is not as harmful as once believed, especially
early in the day...
Or later, after 3pm (much safer to be out) Enjoy your summer!
