There are many sunscreens out there, ranging from greasy and sticky, to completely unnoticeable. My go-to sunscreen of choice is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch. It's sold in most pharmacies in the U.S. It's lightweight and doesn't feel like you have any sunscreen on at all. There's also a mineral version, but I've not tried it.

Agree, and this is the only brand I've tried that truly crosses the dry-touch threshold. It's a shame that it's more expensive and not commoditized yet (figured it would be by now since it's been on the market for several years).

You should be aware that the oxybenzones in that stuff are killing the coral and leading to reef bleaching. The mineral version is less bad, but still not a good idea if you or your sewage are even vaguely near tropical water.

The more convenient a sunscreen is, the more likely it is to be killing off coral.

I don't swim in the sea and there's no coral here anyway. I'll give it a try.
