[Gargantuan]

Use a zinc-based sunscreen.

Make sure to avoid anything that has PABA, oxybenzone, parabens, homosalate and/or octocrylene in it.

 

[Gandy]

Avoid Octocrylene and if possible alcohol.

Yes, non-alcoholic sunscreens are 2-3x more expensive but your skin will thank you.

You don't want anything with the word alcohol on your skin except for fatty or fruit alcohols like cetearyl alcohol (which despite the name is a hydrating, moisturizing alcohol).

Benzyl alcohol is by far the worst, most drying ingredient. Stay away from that, not just in sunscreens but moisturizers.
