Recommendations for High SPF that doesn't smell

I hate being in the sun but have dogs I walk. I don't like the color of my tan so when I am outside I either wear SPF clothing and/orSPF, especially on my hands/arms.  What recommendations do you have for a High SPF, that gives good sun protection, that doens't smell and isn't sticky?

Neutragena has one the is SPF 50 for sensitive skin.  It doesn't smell and isn't sticky after it dries down.  I use daily on my face, neck and back of hands.   It comes in kind of a small tube so probably wouldn't use for body.

I use Nutragena exclusively between 50 and 100 spf.  My skin can't take the sun at all and I've used this product for years.... no smell that I can detect and it's effective.  I've used the regular product and have had no issues with it.  Woman LOL

JM Argan Daily moisturizer SPF 47+++

 

This product is Holy Grail for me; I use it every day of the year. I do NOT use it as a moisturizer but as an spf; it's the last product that goes on after my skincare (those that I know who use it also only use it as a SPF). I use a 1/4 tsp on my face and another 1/4 tsp on my neck and chest. 100% mineral spf. I will not be without it and hope she never stops making it.

 

Oops: I use this on my feet to prevent sun during the summer months as well as on my arms. I use it on the back of my hands and wrists daily. It can be used anywhere.

@Glorimar. I love Neutrogena Dry Touch SPF 50 and there's another w/ higher SPF. It's water resistant so in summer heat, it doesn't sweat off. Also no fragrance.

I use the baby version of physical sunscreens - broad spectrum and at least SPF 50.

Most are fragrance-free and some are waterproof, too.

Try the various Cerave sunscreens as they leave out fragrance and color from them. I like the physical sunscreens, those come in the white and yellow boxes and contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as the sunscreen ingredients.
