Sun tan lotion

Options
Hi

I apologise if this is in the wrong thread (mods-feel free to move). We are going on holiday at the end of this month :j (if the BA strikes allow us :mad: ) and we use a high factor (somewhere around 30-40) because we have a 3 1/2 year old and we all use the same thing. The last couple of types we have tried stain white clothing, does anyone know of a non-staining, high factor sun tan cream???

Thanks

    I used the Piz Buin once a day and got yellow stains on t shirts....also to note if using it on kids there is a 90 minute binding time wait, so not to be used if they want to rush straight into the pool

    Look at the suntan lotion from Forever Living Products. I use it on my boys and ourselves and it is high factor but soaks straight into the skin. I've never noticed any staining. If you look on th internet you will find many sites that sell it. Hope this helps.

    I've not had any problems with the newer formulas - I tend to use factor 50 on my face and neck and 30 everywhere else and buy either Nivea or Ambre Solaire spray rather than a cream/lotion

    I'm pretty sure we've tried this one and found it to stain. Have you not had problems at all then?

    No not at all the baby one does, but not the kids one and it is really effective as well its the soltan one.

    I use the GARNIER Ambre Solaire clear protect spray on stuff. it's like water. soaks in instantly, and cannot stain clothes. Cheapest place I found it was Wilko.
