I used Anthelios 50+ with Mexoryl, and want to
buy a physical sunscreen to use on some days.
I found SuperGood SPF 40, with 20% Zinc Oxide.
Good review, thought it would be a good choice.
I'm looking for a high level of Zinc Oxide as opposed to Titanium Dioxide...then I see this site....

He says with Zinc Oxide there has to be Otocrylene?? Well, it is not in the ingredient list on the Supergoop, I also looked at the ingredients in Juice Mineral sunscreen, with 20% zinc oxide, A Solbar Mineral sunscreen, and the NIA24.
Is the High level of Zinc Oxide enough?...has anyone heard this before. That's knocking aside
a lot of Physical blocks. I really like the Supergoop, and I was hoping it's a good choice.
Thanks,
Linda |

I would not make my own sunscreen. What is "Wellness Mama" background?
I don't know where she is getting her spf ratings on the various oils.
Just my two cents.... |

Here is another article (blogger - N/A) about using two different sunscreens.

I have looked at the Derma-e one and even in Canada it is reasonably priced.

How about a non-chemical sunscreen? Can you use a zinc oxide and or titanium dioxide?
Zinc oxide has more UVA protection. If you do a board search many members here prefer physical only.
I am not against DIY but I don't believe a reliable sunscreen could be made at home. |
