I dont know what yours is exactly, but I use a physical one (Mexitan) with 6% each zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and it says it is SPF30.

What is the name of yours? Is it micronized?

CIBA sunscreen simulator says
spf 17.9
ppd 9.5

I've noticed it always gives a spf lower than the label, sometimes drastically so. Make of that what you will.

If you want to check the simulator yourself, you can just google "CIBA sunscreen simulator." I guess I'm a newbie and not allowed to post links.

Monica, I've seen this and was tempted to try it but all those rich oils practically caused me to break out just reading the ingredients! How does this work for you, do you use it on your face?
