SUNSCREEN Suggestions (nongreasy)

Been reading how the occurrence of two forms of skin cancer are on the rise (one by 200%) and wondered if I could get suggestions from posters here on a good sunscreen that is fragrance free and nongreasy?  I've read that it should be at least SPF30, but the

ones I've purchased over the years just seem to lay on the skin and when I'm out gardening, I just feel so yucky with it on.  Suggestions?

I like the Neutrogena one.  It isn't greasy at all, which is what I don't like about sunscreen generally.  I think they have a 75 and a 100 spf in that.  I usually use the 30 or 45, depending on what I'm doing.

Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen SPF50  

It is non-greaasy (it even says so on the tube).  It feels good and smells good.

The one I've been using for years is at Target stores.  Called 'Up and Up Sport'.  Fragrance free, and not greasy.  It has an orange lid, I believe.  Could stand up on the lid, so the orange color might be on the bottom.  (It's in my car right now.) Anyway, make sure it's 'Sport' and it says in fine print on the front 'Fragrance free'. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

The best sunscreen I ever used is Supergoop, the Q sells it. It's a spray, smells great, is not greasy, is easy to reapply and is effective.

I like this one;

It blocks both UVA and UVB rays.

 

 

 

 

It's a bit expensive ($26.99 on Amazon with Prime), but worth it, to me.

 

 

 

 

 

ETA: it was rated #1 in Consumer Reports for sunscreen.

I use the Neutrogena Ultrasheer Dry Touch in SPF 75 or 100. Been using it for as long as it's been out.

I use Neutrogena (specifically the one for faces).  I saw a commercial for Banana Boat and they've come out with a new product called "Dry."  I was going to check that out the next time I went to the store.
