How does this one look for babies (and us, too)? It's Australian and makes claims to be the most natural. It says,
"Blended with extracts that nourish the skin, UV Natural assists repair of damaged skin, while its oils enhance the skin's texture and moisturise. We incorporate the cutting edge in zinc oxide formulations and our sunscreen is so revolutionary that it destroys the old myths about what is possible and what isn't with zinc. Our sunscreen does not leave your skin white and pasty like other zinc formulations do." It is called uvnaturalusa dot com and says:
"Have a look at our impressive ingredient list:
Vitis Vinifera/refined grapeseed oil Carthamus tictorius oil/safflower oil Sesamum indicum oil/sesame oil Macadamia ternifolia(seed) oil/macadamia seed Oil
Candelia cera(wax)/candellia wax
Cera Alba(wax)/bees wax
Copernica prunifera/Carnauba wax Vegetable oil
Tocopheryl acetate/copherol 1250
Camellia sinensis extract/green tea extract(liposoluble)
Vitis vinifera(seed)extract/grapeseed extract
Caprylic/capric triglycerides (from coconut)
Iron Oxides (macro form)
Zinc Oxide"
Supposedly safe for babies under 6 months, too. What is your opinion? Anyone tried or can it be trusted as per ingredients? |

They look "natural" to me.
Arsenic is also natural. I wouldn't put Arsenic on anyone's skin.
Also would not put that product on a baby. It has too many ingredients. If something were to go wrong, it would take forever to figure what was the problem. |

| Sorry, I think this deserves a bump. Perhaps I phrased the subject line badly? Is this sunscreen any good? I ask the ladies who know things here, of which there are many knowledgeable ones here. I hope someone answers, please Thx |

Hi Existential
It does look nice and natural but the UVA protection from zinc oxide is much lower than from Titanium Dioxide (the other physical ss ingredient) and I seem to remember this one is made transparent which lessens the UVA protection even more at the more damaging end of the spectrum.
I'd go for something with Titanium dioxide if it were my kid. |

| Molly you have that backwards. The UVA protection from zinc oxide is better than from titanium dioxide. But the part about being transparant lessening the UVA protection is true for both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. |
