When I googled it, that website popped up with a step by step tutorial on how to remove. Good luck getting your stain out.

This should rub it right out. Do not go too crazy on this. It can pull the color die right off too. I gently used one of these on my shinny steering wheel and it looks brand new mint matte. Cheap and highly effective cleaner sponge. You just wet it and wipe. Its amazing.

I've used the Adam's leather / interior cleaner in a spray, swirled a few shots of that around with a brush for maybe 5 seconds, and then wiped it off. A 2nd try on the worst spots and that did it for me. I got the combo so I put their leather conditioner on afterwards and it looks pretty great. Smells good too.

My wife uses a lot of the Neutrogena stuff and it's on my 2015 X3 if that matters. White sunscreen residue on black leather.

His link didn't work but the site does have some interior care guides:

my wife has left some sunscreen residue on my tartufo leather, and the colourlock mild cleaner cleans it right off.

I would strongly urge against using magic eraser on leather, or any interior materials for that matter. It is a mild abrasive and will damage leather - it slowly wears away the top layer, so you may get away with a few light passes but over time it is doing damage.

I recommend using a mild interior cleaner like this:

With an autofiber scrub ninja like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Autofiber-Int...s%2C111&sr=8-2

Use a generous amount of cleaner on the ninja, lightly scrub the leather until it foams, then just wipe off the dirty foam with a clean microfiber towel. Within a few passes the leather will be clean without damage. This is what the pros use. You can also use Colourlock cleaner/protectant with their medium bristle brush for a deeper clean, but it's pricey. Good luck!
