There was quite a bit of discussion a while back about how some dermatologists believe many of us are better off not using sunscreen, as many of them were purported to do more harm than good, but have any of you found a sunscreen that you feel comfortable using and trust that it doesn't end up being pro-oxidative or harmful? If I recall correctly, some of you just use mineral makeup as a buffer against the sun and nothing else, you think that is enough for summer weather?
I've been considering the NCN all natural sunscreen, have any of you tried this? |

| Well as long as it's photostable and blocks the gamut of UVA and UVB rays then I think you have nothing to worry about. |

| I think that's the reason some people choose to use physical sunscreens (i.e., titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) over chemical ones. |

I posted this Allure article on sunscreens awhile ago. Basically a doctor did a study and found out that chemical sunscreens can create free radicals. They have yet to study physical sunscreens.
I would stick with psychical sunscreens. Zinc Oxide has been around for along time.
I really like the 302 sunscreens. I use the liquid and mineral versions.
You might want to check out Devita Solar Body Block. You can use it on your face. I really liked this sunscreen but it contains shea butter which clogs my pores.
I hope this helps.

I like to stick to the physical sunscreens, as well. 302 sunscreen liquid and minerals works extremely well. I have used it almost 1 year and no new pigmentation.
That said I am replacing my 302 recovery minerals with NCN's mineral powder. I am hoping it works as well as the 302 minerals.
Devita is very nice feeling, but I freckled and tanned right through that stuff. |

Anything with zinc or titanium dioxide are physical. If you can't pronounce it, it is probably chemical! |

Yes, basically physical sunscreens are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Chemical sunscreens include avobenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, mexoryl, and tinosorb, among others. |
