Sunscreens lately have glorified the chemical blocking qualities - TopicsExpress



          

Sunscreens lately have glorified the chemical blocking qualities of oxybenzone and avobenzone because they absorb quickly, leave a satisfying touch-feel and dont show up white on the skin. Physical blocks like zinc oxide seem to stay white no matter how much you rub them in. So whats a sunlover to do? When you are looking to buy sunscreen, get the kind for babies because it should not have the above offenders. Or... Ive been layering on micronized zinc oxide, a powder that goes on matte, no sheen, no white. You can get it in generic form - 3 oz for $5. Its what Bare Minerals and other $$ big brands use for their sunscreen mineral makeup. ewg.org/2013sunscreen/the-trouble-with-sunscreen-chemicals/
