Sun cream stains

Hi Guys. Can anyone help me out? I'm sick to death of suncream stains - I just can't get them out. It has ruined umpteen item of mine and my daughters white clothing (and some coloured). It is Wilkos own 30spf. I've tried everything to avoid it. I make sure its fully rubbed in before dressing and I don't get any on the clothes. Unfortunately if you sweat it rubs onto the clothes, or even if the clothes touch the skin (even when dry) it tranfers and stains. It is making me so angry. I've googled it and it seems that there is a chemical reaction going on between it and moisture and its turning into an iron oxide stain. I've tried neat washing up liquid, vinegar, soaking in vanish, leaving in sunlight. Nothing has worked. We obviously need to wear the suncream, but I can't go on ruining all the clothes each time we wear it. Any ideas? Thanks.
