Completely non-greasy sunscreen

Dd is 15, very fair skinned and going on a school trip to Spain soon.

She has sensory issues and hates the feel and grease of a lot of suncreams, even those that claim to be non-greasy and absorbent.

Please can anyone recommend one that will give good 50+ protection and she will be happy to use. Thank you.

Soltan have a dry touch spray, we used the lotion last year but that had been discontinued unfortunately.

I'd come on to say Biore too.

Dancergirl · 28/06/2018 15:09

Can you buy the Biore one in the shops or only online?

Online. If you're wanting fast delivery Amazon have it on prime for £25 for two or £15 for one. I'd buy two and have one for yourself.

I recently bought altruist from amazon after a recommendation on here. It's spf 30 but was formulated by a skin cancer specialist, completely non greasy and very decently priced. It's even been ok on my sunscreen allergic ds. Highly recommend.

Institut Esthederm is my favourite. Completely non greasy.

Good choice OP, I was about to recommend the same!

My child with eczema can only use green peoples factor 30 suncream. Its totally grease free and chemical free and even though he is ginger and very pale, he doesnt burn at all. even abroad.

Banana boat powder dry is the only one my DS will tolerate.

It feels just like a powder and is not greasy or sticky at all.

I believe the p++++ is the uva protection and the spf is the uvb protection. I used my watery essence today for the first time just on my face and I'm very pleased with it. Non greasy and soaked right in. Protected me in the sun for the 40 mins I was sunbathing on my lunch break Grin also when I washed my face in the shower just now my skin feels great.

La Roche Posay Anti-Shine suncream! It's SPF50 and the most un-suncream-like suncream ever.

Eucarin 50 SPF. Mattifying. On offer in boots atm.
