In the UK we have a star system and 5 stars is the highest amount and protects from 90%-100% of the UVA rays. But the only one i can find is from Boots and it contains alot of chemicals and im looking for one that contains Zinc oxide mainly.
So i was thinking of looking at US products now but im confused to how you in the US rate sunscreens ive seen PA+++ on some of Badger's sunscreen but im not sure what that means though the main ingredient is zinc oxide but i want to know if this is equivalent to the 90-100% protection and i cant seem to find much online about it.
Anyone know? |

I saw this http://www.boots.com/en/Soltan-Face-Moisturising-Suncare-Cream-SPF50-50ml_1207078/
this seems to have tinosorb s in  but it also has octocrylene and avobenzone but i heard octocrylene makes the avobenzone stable and its above it in the list of ingredients Plus its 5 star for uva protection so think i may try this when it comes back into stock. Which ones have you tried with tinosorb in?
Have not tried a zinc one and was actually considering making a homemade one based on zinc and some oils. But i can imagine it wouldnt be great for dry skin i guess.
How is ppd measured against ppf? I contacted sunsense about their sensitive cream and they replied saying it was ppf 20. |

Had a look for those spf's and i dont think they are available in my country  I have heard that putting makeup with zinc and things ontop of those chemicals like avobenzone etc can destabilize them? Not sure about it but did make me think as i wear makeup everyday.
I understand what you are saying about the diy ones but i heard zinc oxide is best for sensitive skin most sunscreens have stung my skin in the past. |

What country are you in?
Are you willing to order online?
My current favorite SS is from Paula's Choice. It is the tinted Resist Ultra Light spf 30. I did a review on it. It is all zinc. No, it is not the most protective SS; but I want to wear this everyday. |

Was looking at the uriage bariesun one you mentioned. Do you put that on and let it sink in before doing moisturiser/primer etc on top or do you put it on last? I read the tinosorbs dont completely absorb in the skin. |

| Tinosorb stabilizes the other sunscreening ingredients. I like tinosorb better than any other ones. Its the silicones that I hate in most sunscreens. |
