Default Removing sunscreen from seats

What are people using to remove sunscreen from the seats and other parts of the interior? With it being summer, we're constantly getting sunscreen over everything.

Currently I'm just using a damp microfibre cloth and water but it doesn't get it all out. Baby wipes worked well in my other car, but then I read there are chemicals in it that aren't good for leather.

I bought one bottle of Sonos leather cleaner and one bottle of Sonos leather conditioner. I don't have much in the way of suncreen smears, but I do get ink transfer on the front seats from pants, which has been hard to remove on my prior cars. Sonos takes the die transfer completely off. The Sonos doesn't leave a shiny residue, which I also like about the product.

I use Opti-Coat No Rinse for cleaning both the exterior and interior of my car. Using this regularly it does a good job of keeping leather seats clean. For heavier and less often cleaning I use their Optimum Protectant Plus especially to remove die transfer from jeans. My wife's car has light beige leather seats that picked up a lot of die transfer originally and it worked very well in removing it. Does take some time and patience though. You can buy by these on Opti-Coat's website or Amazon.
