Wear a shirt and hat and/or use an umbrella. I've not heard of any all natural creams to prevent sunburn. I'd like to hear of a natural sunblock cream also.
I like Loving Naturals Sunscreen 30+ . This sunblock is not only safe, it's labeled "Vegan" as well! Great for sensitive skin and one Amazon reviewer said it smelled delicious - a "cookie-type smell. A little goes a long way. It contains beneficial zinc, so using more will give you a pasty look.
You'll find some additional recommendations on my Sunscreen hub that also includes toxic sunblocks to avoid.
Dr. Howard Kaufman says vitamin E, alpha tocopherol, serves like a sunblock in his book "The Melanoma Book." Carotene might be good because it absorbs heat from the sun that if it hits molecular oxygen in the skin turns it into singlet oxygen. This is more hazardous than molecular oxygen. Ultraviolet rays when they hit water in the skin excite it and form H2O+ that when it reacts with water forms hydromium and hydroxyl radical. This is the most dangerous free radical that causes cancer in the skin or melanoma. I have a Hub on melanoma (skin cancer like colored mole) causes and treatment.
