“I’m allergic to SPF.” Let’s break this down...

You’re probably talking about chemical sunscreens. There’s MANY different active ingredients for chemical sunscreens. Ex: Oxybenzone, avobenzone, etc.

Try different ACTIVE INGREDIENTS not just different products.
“I’ve tried so many different sunscreens!” But all of them used octinoxate as the active ingredient, which may be the ingredient you’re sensitive to.
Explore different active ingredients, including ones not available in the US. Ex: Tinsorb S and M
Many sunscreens are heavy in fragrance which can be irritating for some. If all of the sunscreens you’ve tried had fragrance, that may be the issue.
If all else fails, there’s physical sunscreens. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These sunscreens have a cast and can be thick, but they are the best for sensitive skin. You’ll find them in sunscreens for babies. Seek one with a tint if needed!
Also, some chemical filters are hard to stabilize like avobenzone. Some brands may be better with it in their sunscreen than others
