Sunscreen for doggie noses?

I have a new young dog who has a white blaze (if you will) down his face, with pink skin underneath. He and my other dog are outside all day while I’m at work (covered patio and tree shade aavailable), but I’ve noticed the skin near his nose seems pinker, and want to head off sunburn.

Is there a decent sunscreen that’s safe on doggie skin andalso safe for my other dog if she licks it off him?

I had a friend who used it on her hairless show dogs. I’ve used it on my horse’s that have pink noses & it works well with a once daily application

Desitin diaper cream also worked well on my white-nosed horse.

Mostly he wears a full-coverage face mask, but my pink horse “El Rosado” (Rosy) gets Banana Boat sunscreen slathered on his snout as needed for long sunny days at 6500ft elevation, or just to give him a break from the mask now and then.
I have been told that the Destin works as well, but we have BananaBoat, left over from the last time the grandkids visited. It has a light scent, but Rosy doesn’t seem to mind. This stuff is the Kid’s version, so I’m sure it isn’t toxic.
Rosy with, and w/o his face mask: You can laugh; I do :-D.



(Just FYI, this mask is from “Nag-Horse Ranch”. The one we’re using now is the same, but with an extra strip of webbing across the brow to help keep the fabric away from his eyes.
And Rose is pink everywhere, not just on his mug . . .)
