Why are you so bothered if your kids get a little spray sunscreen on them? Presumably you don't want your kids to get burned and use creams. If you're using a public pool, you're going to get WAY worse stuff on your kids, even if you're vehemently against sunscreen altogether.

Can't you READ, PP? The OP said she wants people to stop spraying their sunscreen near enough to her so she and her kids have to breathe it in, which is DANGEROUS and toxic and bad for her and her kids' health. She even posted a link to a story about how bad SPRAY sunscreens are for children!!

OP said nothing about not using sunscreen!

FWIW, my child has asthma, and we have to run away whenever someone starts spraying sunscreen anywhere near us, or it will trigger an asthma attack.

If you must use spray sunscreen, PP, PLEASE, spray it on at home, preferably indoors, where you'll get all the benefit of it, but not harm anyone else. Plus, don't you know you're supposed to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you go into the sun so it will be most effective?

Spray sunscreen should be BANNED. It's ruined summer for us!!

You have to be kidding me if that is what you believe the FDA guidelines say
That's fine if you are over-anxious and choose to move yourself and your family, but don't say it's because the FDA recommends it. That's just silly

But PLEASE do it far enough away that MY kids (whose parents actually follow some basic safety news) don't have to breathe it in.

--so annoyed, so early in the pool season

+1. Hate inhaling that stuff!

Keep your kids home or install a pool in your backyard. It's going to be a long hot summer for all everyone and a really looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot summer for you.

I really loved the aerosol sprays before finding out about the issues, I noticed a spray - Kiss My Face - at the store today with the only ingredient titanium dioxide, is that better? Can they make a safe aerosol sunscreen?

The only active ingredient is ti ox. It has to have other ingredients.

Op here. I have no problem with sunscreen, and we all use it. But the safety of SPRAY sunscreen has been specifically questioned and FDA recommends against using it on children. I don't see why my kids have to be put at risk by your ignorance.
