My grandma use to take our white shirts and put shout or another stain remover on and then on a sunny day lay the shirts on the grass flat and by the end of the day the stain should be out. I hope this works for you.

You might try Dawn dishwashing liquid. I haven't tried it on that, but it gets out "oil" stains.

The stain that you are battling is most likely an oil stain from the sunscreen. You might try soaking the shirts in scalding hot water for about fifteen minutes, then using Dawn dish washing liquid applied directly to the stains and let it set in for another fifteen minutes. Wash the shirts in your washing machine as you normally would, but in hot water. This may lift the oil stain.

You could try using a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar. Mix it to a paste and spread it on, leave for a few minutes then wash off. Might work.
