This stuff is the most comfortable sunbloc I've ever worn, it's truly not greasy and it doesn't leave your skin feeling like it's just recieved a coat of paint.  It's different than any I've ever tried.  It comes in pump spray and spreads very well.

And it works as well as any I've ever tried.

But it's expensive, about $6 for a 1 oz spray bottle, and 16-18 $ for a 4 oz bottle,  I'm pretty tight with my dollars but this is one I use.

Available at REI, or at several Online retailers including the Kinesys company itself.

No, I don't have any interest in the company (yet)

Good find! I'll add another sunscreen to this thread that I recently tried. It's called SOL and I bought it through Charkbait. It's similarly priced, but works great. I was tired of having even the baby sunscreen burn my eyes. The SOL never burns, even if you do get a bit that runs into your eyes.

I'm pretty happy with the Bullfrog Gel Alcohol Based I buy the Anchovy Scented one. They have it in spray now also.

Yeah, my wife crews a catamaran 3-4 days a week & loves the Sol sunscreen. It's apparently much less harmful (cancer causing) than some other brands.

The Bullfrog Alcohol based was my choice until I found the Kinesys stuff,  BUT, if I'd known about the Anchovy Scented One,,,,,,,,,, :smt008

I gotta retract some of what I said about this KINeSYS stuff, it is still the most comfortable sunbloc I've ever found.  It really isn't greasy, or leaves your skin feeling like it has a coat of paint.

And I'll continue to use it,

 but recently I went out in the delta on a really hot clear day, applied plenty of this stuff (spf30) and got a pretty good burn anyway on my shin area which was ultra white up till that day.  It was a pretty brutal day as far as sun goes, but I think my other favorite Bulldog clear gel 36 would have worked much better.

of course as white as my legs were maybe nothing would have helped.
