Look for "reef safe" on the label. Those are more expensive, but the same chemicals that kill coral don't do your own skin any favors either. The Burn Out brand is what we used in Hawaii a few weeks ago, and it was great. SPF 30 was plenty, and it worked all day. There are others.

Aloe Gator full spectrum gel is the burliest sunscreen I've yet found. Feels horrible but lasts all day easily through heavy sweating, wiping, water. Great for the super UV blast of spring/summer glacier travel. Surely some heathier options out there but this shit keeps the rays at bay in the 1000+ W/m^2 alpine toaster.

Sol products, especially the Altitude style. But the lightweight clothes suggestion works for me too

Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport SPF 70 is my go to. Not greasy at all and I rarely get burned with it. I'll never buy banana boat again though. 3 days on the beach, no problems with Neutrogena including a full day with zero shade. Ran out of it and bought banana boat. The wife and I were completely fried the next day.
However this is one of the better purchases I've ever made for warm ski days:

Arcteryx Phasic Sun hoody.
Athletic cut.... hood is fantastic especially with a cap on...sits on visor and doesn't impede vision.
Hood up with buff keeps sun at bay.
Still use suncreeen but firmly in the cover up camp now.

Yeah, it's nice to see so many good options nowadays for hooded sun wear. Just delving into the genre now... I expect to see an OR Echo hoody in the mail today!
