Looking for a Non Greasy Sunscreen

I need to find a non greasy sunscreen that I can use on my shoulders and arms every day.
Does anyone have one that they really love?
Thanks!
Answers
- Me and my son both use 100% pure Aloe Vera gel. We are both fair and blue eyed and don't burn when we use this. Swear by it!
- I use Neutregena on my face every day. For days when I am in the sun, I use Coppertone Sport for my arms/chest etc.
- I like the Off family care (I don't remember the exact name of it). They have different scents, or unscented. It's very light and not greasy.
