Suncream recommendations that do not leave yellow marks on white clothes

I’ve realised that suncream stains white clothes yellow. I’ve been wearing a lot of linen type shirts as burn easily and skin showing signs of sun damage but I have been spraying Aldi suncream on my neck and arms. Does anyone have any recommendations for a suncream which doesn’t leave yellow
marks. I’m thinking mainly for neck as I’ve got a new white linen shirt with long sleeves for my
holiday and only need to do neck. I use la Roche posay on my face. If exposing more skin i just won’t wear white and will use Aldi spray still. Some people seem to recommend mineral creams and others ultrasun. However some reviews suggest mineral creams still stain and ultrasun failed a Which uva test last year.

Hi OP. A lot of yellow staining from sunscreen actually comes from certain UV filters reacting with minerals in sweat or laundry detergent residues. Try to search Lighter fluid-style sunscreens they tend to transfer less onto linen collars compared to richer creams/sprays. Also let sunscreen fully dry before dressing.

Ambre solaire spray is perfect, even in the very high factors.

So it is possible some of the issues are because I usually just top up by spraying it on whilst wearing the clothes. I possibly also get it directly on the clothes so whatever I try next I will be more careful too!
