Best non-nano mineral sun cream

Looking to switch to mineral sun creams but don't know which ones are reliable AND non-nano. Looking for broad UVA/UVB, and would usually reach for Boots' own brand but their mineral suncream is nano zinc oxide, which I don't fancy having in my system.

Am a bit suspicious of indie/non-EU brands where creams are concerned (just in case they don't have the same rigorous testing here), but don't know what's safe and feeling a bit fed up with looking. Have seen conflicting info about La Roche Posey, and I'll need something that isn't just for face.

Any recommendations for safe, reliable and tested brands with a lot of information about their ingredients?

Bonus if suncream doesn't stain white t-shirts!!

I used the Yuka app when looking for safer sunscreens , a lot of the mineral ones actually weren’t that safe and the ones that are , were harder to find. In the end I stuck with Nivea sensitive most of which have a pretty good rating.
