Looking for a Good Non-stinky Sunscreen

My teenage daughter and I spend a lot of afternoon time outside, and now that the sun is coming back into full force I want to make sure we keep from burning. Both of our biggest objection with sunscreen on our face is the stinky smell. I am sure there is something out there that has a decent scent and is spf 30 or higher. I am sure nobody would appreciate me opening all the bottles, or testing each spray in the store so I can sniff them! Do you have a sunscreen with a scent you love (or at least like)? Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

We love neutrogena! I use the whole line for me and my girls...in the spray we use SPF 85 and the face I use the lotion SPF 100! We are very milky people! Haha. And would like to stay that way ;-) it's the only one I've ever tried that doesn't stink and it also doesn't make me feel gritty. I have tried the melaleuca one and it is good too, if we've spent the whole day in the sun and feel at all a lil sun kissed I still use their aloe Vera gel. Good luck I'd like to know if you find something you like ;-)

We use Sun Shades by Melaleuca. I prefer the lotion 30 SPF while my hubby prefers the spray Sport 45 SPF. They also have after sun and lip protection too. No harsh chemicals or smells.

If you are interested in finding out more, let me know.

Alba has a daily lotion that smells pretty good (not at all like sunscreen) but I think it's only 15 or 20 spf. It's not greasy at all. It's made to apply like a daily lotion and soaks right in. Smells nothing like sunscreen. You can buy it at Whole Foods or Vitacost.com. Maybe places like Sprouts and Central Mkt. I just haven't checked there.

I love Shaklee's Enfuselle sunscreen. I like to waterski and it is the only one that doesn't wash into my eyes. It also has no harmful ingredients and best of all no smell.

SPF 30, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, two minerals that work in synergy to block the sun’s harmful UVB and UVA rays, Aloe Vera gel, green tea and chamomile, water-resistant

ALL NATURAL.

I use Blue Lizard Face spf 30 on a daily basis ... totally not sticky, doesn't make your face white, no parabens, highly recommended by dermatologists and users alike. No fragrance. I can't live without it!

Austrailian Gold makes a stick for the face that's FABULOUS - doesn't run into your eyes and really doesn't have much of a scent at all. We also use the SPF 50 and it has a tropical/coconut smell to it for the rest of our bodies and it's great too!!!
