| I have been searching for sun block, I found Japanese products are lighter, but couldn't find any that used 100% physical sunblock either titanium or zinc oxide. I am not keen on chemical sunblock. Is there any light physical sunblock with at least SPF30 protection? |

| Sofina UV Cut Milk seems to get a lot of raves and I think it's physical. I personally use Clarins UV Plus SPF 40 which uses Titanium Oxide as its active ingredient and claims to have 100% mineral filters. It's SUPER light and fast aborbing, doesn't even cause my acne-prone skin to break out. Non-oily either. I think it would be suitable for all skin types. |

joziegrozy - do you know which sunkiller is the physical only? I bought two different ones at the Singapore airport recently and I love the texture! Of course, everything on the bottle is in Japanese so I'm not sure what the actives are...  |

That's the two that I have! Thank you
Don't laugh, but, I do know that the back of packaging was in English. The thing is that I was so excited to have bought these (tiger_tim I think mentioned that I had to try these) that I had to try them on the back of my hand right there and then in Terminal 2 So, I unpacked it and I think the packaging unintentionally went out with the rest of the rubbish on the Sing-Brisbane flight  Of course, leaving me with Japanese bottles 
That's a very handy MUA link! Thank you - bookmarked it

Yeah, love the sofina! but it is expensive, so is the clarins, which i used a little of at the clarins counter, and that is a nice light sunscreen that is actually available in the states.
My sunkiller clearwater just came (i had to search far and wide for this, why doesn't anyone online sell this????), and i am excited to use it!
i do love japanese sunscreens! |
