Childrens/baby sun scream

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but my searches in the app pretty much only bring up results from 10+ years ago.

Can anyone recommend a good children's/baby sun scream that won't stain clothes and ideally is easy to apply and isn't horribly greasy?

Bonus points for any adult recommendations for something similar.

I always use Boots Soltan factor 50 sun lotions. The 8 hour all day version for school days and the normal one otherwise.

The 8 hour lotion has had a slight formula change this year I think as seems less thick so is easier to rub in and no longer stains clothes. It does go on a little greasy though. The regular one isn’t greasy and doesn’t mark clothes.

I use nivea or altruist on my son. Always factor 50 and reapply often.

I just got my Which email 🤓which puts Boots Soltan Kids Protect & Moisturise Suncare Lotion SPF50+ as a best buy for kids.

'Boots Soltan SPF 50+ lotion for kids did a grand job of providing robust skin-protection and easily met the requirements of our SPF and UVA tests. It’s the easiest of the SPF 50+ products to apply that passed both of our sun protection tests, with our expert panel also awarding good marks for lack of tackiness and smell. The combination of great sun protection and ease of application makes this excellent lotion a Best Buy.'

I like Altruist factor 50 for me and the kids too.

We boots sultan too. The 8 hour one is ace, lasts an hour in water.
We use the spray bottle which is less greasy.

My kids have really sensitive skin too.

Thank you all. I'm sure last time we had soltan it stained quite a few clothes especially when trying to reapply on resistant toddler but maybe I'm misremembering as we've tried a few. Didn't even occur to me to try which so I'll check that out.
