Sun screen will likely not do anything to help unless you are placing it on hairless areas, and I would be concerned if there are chemicals in it that may harm your cats if they groom themselves. Instead, providing your cats with a shaded, cool area to relax, and providing plenty of fresh drinking water should help.
