Sunblock that doesn't burn your eyes?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sunblock that doesn't burn your eyes?

Anyone have a SPF sunblock of 30 or 45 that doesn't burn your eyes when you sweat? PABA free would be a plus.

Thanks,
Steve

BullFrog works for me, no burning my eyes, and it seems to keep the bugs away also.

Kinesys is very good and you can get it from your bike shop. As Lone Ranger stated, BullFrog is also very good and eaiser to find.

With my helmet covering my forehead, I don't put sunscreen on my forehead to wash into my eyes from sweat.

Coppertone and Banana Boat both have sweatproof SPORT formulas that don't run and aren't greasy. They pretty much evaporate on contact. I found the Coppertone in a really small bottle with a carabiner for your keys that fits nicely in my seat pack.

Coppertone Sport 48 spf for me. When dry, it has a slightly tacky feeling that you may not like but I find it preferable to the glue-like texture of most of the waterproof sunblocks.
