wow, so that narrows it down to baby sunblock, which I agree with that we all should use. Or, just roll around in the mud, since I am praying for rain.
I've put worse things in/on my body than the Neutrogena fresh cooling sunscreen.
Yeah ditto, I am sticking with it. I can't stand to rub lotion on me when I'm dirty and sweaty, plus I always miss patches with lotion. As much as I go out in the sun and use sunscreen (about one week of the year), I'm really not worried about it being bad for me.

By far the best sunscreen is Neutrogena Spectrum SPF 110. It's a good price too. I like it because it doesn't clog your pores and give you acne. (yes, sadly some of us in our 20s still get acne )
Helioplex is a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreen. used this down in the Caribbean and not a burn in sight. I use it in 50 for my body and they have a 70 SPF cream i use for my face. no wrinkles!
Holy crap, they make the Ultra Sheer in a spray? I will definitely get this along with my usual Dry Touch. Then I can do the lotion in the morning and the spray in the afternoon.
I am a freaky pale person (I'd prefer not to post a picture, but I am seriously the naturally palest person I have ever met. I have to purchase special foundation makeup because they do not make a color light enough for my skin. Every time I post a picture on Facebook, everyone comments "Wow, you are REALLY pale," as if I hadn't noticed that over the last couple of decades. I met one person paler than me; that person was an albino.) so I obviously avoid the sun.
I LOVE the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch (SPF 70) because it doesn't feel sticky or gross on your skin, it provides protection over at least 3 hours (I reapply every 2-3 hours, so if you're darker you may have to reapply less often) and you can apply it to your eyelids and it won't burn or run into your eyes if you sweat. It's more expensive than other sunblocks, but you're more likely to wear it, so I think it's worth the price. I used it last year and didn't burn at all. I am going to try the spray and I will comment on it as well.
EDIT: I know that SPF 50+ is not supposed to be more effective at protection, but I have found it to last longer without reapplication. I have used the same brand lotion as above in lower SPF and burned, even though I reapplied at the same frequency. I still try for the highest SPF because of this.

Okay, I tried the Ultra Sheer spray for Bonnaroo. I found it to provide adequate protection, but it was not as strong as the actual lotion. Also, you have to have two people to apply it or you end up missing spots. I got a bizarre burn on one side of the back of my shoulder and behind my knees. That doesn't happen with lotion.
I suggest the lotion in the morning, then using the spray during the day to avoid rubbing dirt and grime into your skin.
