Suncream stains on clothes

How do you get it out?
It's stained some clothes that we took on holiday. 😑
Is bleaching the only way for the white items?
Help me please 😣

The sun (UV light) will fade pink stains. But in future you need to buy non staining sun cream.

It stains all the kids white polo tops
I think PP is right in saying sunlight helps.
I have never heard of non-staining sun cream - any recommendations?

It's stained yellow, not pink. Will hanging out in sunlight still help?
We only use spf50+ with 5* rating, do you know of any that don't stain?

Put washing up liquid directly into the stain. Work it into a lather and rinse well. Repeat as needed. The washing up liquid breaks down the grease of the sunscreen. Will get most of it out.

@Chiroptera thank you, I'll give that a try. Will it still work if the clothes have already been through a wash?
