Favorite body lotion with sunscreen?

Does anyone have a body lotion with sunscreen they particularly like? I'm looking for something for slathering on everywhere every day, not a fancy face lotion. I use a lot of lotion with the climate here so ideally something that comes in a pump bottle vs a smaller tube. The internet definitely has some favorites (supergoop?) but I'd love some personal recommendations if anyone has favorites.

What she said ^^^^^.
I'm not thrilled with any super Goop product I've tried as they're all greasy.
I do like Piz Buin (not sold in the US) for face cream w spf 50 and they do have a body lotion that I haven't tried. I'm super picky.

I find Supergoop greasy too. Neutrogena irritates my skin.
Sun Bum Signature (sexy black bottle) lotion started to go bad (runny, separating, clumpy) really fast.

Another vote for La Roche-Posay Anthelios - love the stuff. I also have a bad reaction to Neutrogena, which causes my rosacia to flare up.

I also like sunblocks w/zinc oxide (e.g. Blue Lizard), but they can make your skin appear whitish - something I don't care about as long as I get the needed protection.

That’s the only thing I didn’t like about La Roche Posay. It left a white residue on my skin.

Actually, what I would really like to find is a body lotion (non-greasy, unscented) that has a decent sunscreen in it rather than a sunscreen for the beach (like sun bum).

Yes, that is what I'm going for.

Currently I have an SPF 25 lotion from Eucerin that they happened to have at Target, and it's ok... it goes on slightly greasy but dries quickly and well. The SPF 25 isn't really enough for the mountains, though. I'd recommend it if you're not getting blasted by UV at 9k+ ft. :smile:

I have a basic drugstore one, Aveeno with SPF 15, that is not enough sunscreen. I'm willing to spend more but can't find a moisturizer with a sunscreen that I like. Possibly Dermalogica or PizBuin may have one...

I like Oil of Olay Complete with SPF 15. I think it's meant just for face, but I use it on face, neck and chest (decolletage sounds better), forearms and back of hands. My skin is not that dry and I don't live in a high sun area so YMMV.

There are plenty of good moisturizers for face, but I’m primarily looking for body moisturizer with sunscreen and pump ! Picky, I know.

I like supergoop but I have really dry skin.
Same. Combine that with dry desert air and I usually look for moisturizers that get reviewed as too greasy for most...

I tend to put on my normal moisturizer with SPF on top just because otherwise my skin soaks up so much. But can see where one product would be nice!

Me too, I use the SPF30 version over everything exposed like you do, sinks in, light, non-greasy - have used it for more than 30 years now and just keep on coming back to it

I use the same…Aveeno with SPF15 as an everyday moisturizer. If I need more SPF for extended time in the sun, I use it in conjunction with regular sunblock.

Bondi Sands SPF 50. Fragrance free. Great for daily moisturizer. Wear it every day. Couldn't find in stores in my area (Denver Suburb) so had to order from Amazon. Use Paula's Choice sunscreens for face. Also Fragrance Free.

I like the Alba botanical body sunscreen in a pump bottle. Not their more fence products in a smaller squeeze packaging.
