You had to mention that. I just checked my latest favorite sunblock - Ocean Potion SPF 30, with an anti-aging formula (vitamins, olive, fruit, and algea oil extracts). It applies easily, but I do have to wash my hands after application. One of the main reasons I like it is because I don't stink after a few hours of sweating like others I've tried. The smell stays pleasant. And it's effective as a sun block. But, it does have oxybenzone and a bunch of ingredients that include prefixes and suffixes like polymer, butyl, ascetate, ethyl and propyl.
