Excellent sweat resistant sunscreen
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Best I have found for long lasting protection. Not greasy at all. I get best results by applying 30 minutes before going outside.

Absorbs quickly
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For a rather inexpensive sunscreen, this works much better than the banana boat in my opinion. For some reason this goes on easier and less white to rub in than the Banana Boat of the same SPF.
