I've been using the Drunk Elephant fairly regularly now, and can report no staining on clothes. This includes good silk scarves (fancy French brand we've all heard of), thin Italian cashmere sweaters that are my mainstay this time of year, and St. John Knits blazers.

Bear in mind that I give all sunscreens about ten minutes to set. One of the criticisms the Drunk Elephant (and other) mineral sunscreens unfairly receive is that they don't absorb into the skin. It's a mineral sunscreen. It does not absorb into the skin. It sits on the skin, looking whitish for a few seconds (really), then becomes clear. After about ten minutes, it sets, and looks and feels matte on the skin. There may be a few, small streaks (if you used too much at first). These easily blend in. You have to give mineral sunscreens time to set.

I still like the SuperGoop Unseen Sunscreen MUCH more when I am going for a "prettier" look -- if I am going out to lunch or an early dinner, or anywhere where I am going to be photograped. It just blurs out those pores like nothing else. But for everyday, the DE is a great choice.
