Badger (white residue though) or beauty counter

I’ve used babyganics. It’s thick but rubs in easily, though it leaves a white residue, but for my little ginger son, it’s hard to find a sunscreen that works for him and this definitely works.

I'm from Florida, which is why I use Truecica Mineral 100 Calming Suncream SPF 50+. It doesn't stick, and it really does protect your skin against the sun.

Coola is great and approved by my picky kid!

Supergoop! Is a wonderful brand that I recently found that works very well and is great one for the entire family.

I like LaRoche Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen! It's good for face and body and isn't super greasy.

Another vote for LaRoche. It went over an unfortunate existing burn without pain, wasn't oily, and stayed on while I swam.

I am a huge fan of a couple of brands. Elta MD - we get the "clear" not tinted one, it is zinc oxide based. Not too white, and excellent protection.

Also, Colorscience has an amazing powdered sunscreen in a container with a brush that is mineral based. It is so good for kids faces, instead of rubbing goopy sunscreen on your kids face you can quickly powder it on. It's not cheap, but one container lasts a long time. Its not amazing in the water we've found. You used to be able to buy powder refills for the container, but I am not seeing that you can anymore.
