Sunscreen that doesn't smell like sunscreen?

Now that it's summertime, I'm wearing t-shirts that show my tattoos, and want to keep them looking vibrant (Sun fades the ink over time). I'm looking for a good sunscreen SPF 30+ that I can use daily and doesn't smell like I've been at the pool all day? Any recommendations are appreciated.
 
The Equate brand from wally world doesn't have very much scent. I would say it's almost scentless. Certainly not coconut, more like bland coppertone.
 
The Ombrelle line is awesome. Light, non-greasy, unscented, and human-friendly. Their face product is the only sunscreen I can use on my face without reacting to it. Highly recommended.

Have not tried it (no tats) but have heard the JWOWW tattoo color protection by Australian Gold is unscented. I know Tattoo Goo is coconut scented.

Coppertone has a distinct sunscreen to me.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer


Thanks, I'll check it out

Never heard of it. Thanks

I have the tattoo goo stuff, works but definitely smells like I'm wearing sunscreen. I'll look into the other one you recommended.
 
I just bought the Equate Sport Sunscreen today. It has a slight scent when applied and I would be comfortable calling it scentless when soaked in. Or at least close enough to scentless it would be hard to tell you have anything on. It's slightly greasy going on but dries down nice. Try a dab next time you're in Wally World.

Try the Riteaid brand - it's cheap for a HUGE bottle (about 7.99 for a pint of the stuff if I remember), water proof for about 2 hours at a time, and is about as scentless as you'll find - smells like unscented lotion to my nose.

I use it regularly to protect the colors of my arm tats and a full color calf sock.
