Suncream stains on clothes

Help! How do you remove suncream stains from clothing? My daughter bought a lovely new bikini and unfortunately the white trim is now yellow due to suncream. I can't bleach it because of the other colours so what can I do to remove the yellow staining from the white trim?

I've had a little bit of scrubbing it with washing up liquid to break down the oil in it, but it's sooo hard to get out and has ruined a few of my DDs clothes. Following in the hope that someone else has better ideas.

Try soaking in Napisan worked for us inc sun cream & deodorant marks!

I have problems with sunscreen stains on the white bedding in our gîte. This sometimes works- if I suspect a guest has used a lot of sunscreen, in particular the water proof apply once lasts all day type- then soak the sheets in hot water with a dishwasher tablet after spraying with viakal. Then a wash cycle with pre-wash using pink stuff wash whitener as well as Ariel .
Its a real problem- worse this year after the heat wave.

Haven't tried this but a good soak/scrub with washing up liquid then apply sodium percarbonate in a paste. Laura DeBarra on Instagram has amazing tips and tricks for stain removal.
