- graeme 12y agoDo you know of any brands that don't get greasy? I've been using Green Beaver, but it stays visible all day long. It's not white, but there's oil.
- brandonmenc 12y agoI use Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Broad Spectrum. Gives the skin a healthy glow. In fact, my sister sometimes uses it as a base for makeup because of this. Whether or not you consider that "greasy," I don't know. It doesn't feel greasy to me. Give it a shot.

As an aside, the EWG's Skin Deep database is a useful place to find ingredients of potential concern for popular products: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ [1] http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/567689/Neutrogena_Sensitive_Skin_Broad_Spectrum%2C_SPF_60%2B/ http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/567689/Neutrogena_Sensit...
