Help Me Find a NON-Staining Sunscreen!

Does anyone have a sunscreen that does't leave orange/yellow stains on the edges of clothing? Thanks for any suggestions!

Do you mean self-tanner? Or are you using a tinted sunscreen? I've never had a sunscreen leave yellow/orange stains on my clothing.

No, I am looking for a non staining Sun screen. Some have ingredient that leave a yellow orange stain on some clothing after it has been washed and I have had to throw some items away. Any help would be appreciated!

I haven't had any staining from the Neutragena brand of sun screen. I use the spray. Then again, I don't usually have staining from sun screen period.

Hi, I have found the sunstuff with the chemical sunscreen OCTINOXATE or (I think it is another name for it)  ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE to leave an orange stain on clothing.  I look for something with purely a mineral sunscreen, like Josie Maran's.

I really like Bare Escentuals spf 50 liquid.  It's never stained my clothes and its all physical with a high amount of zinc oxide.

It is the chemical sunscreens that do that.  Try using a physical only sunscreen.... with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the main sunscreen actives
