i really liked the Earth's Best baby sunscreen. Its made for them by Jason's and I found it lasted without having to reapply and didnt leave a white cast on my skin. The price is good too. I got it at Whole Foods.

If you look at the DDF product at Dermstore, it says it's not longer available but recommends and states that VivierSkin is very similar.

I happened to come across this today while doing some online shopping from Australia -
http://www.wotnot.com.au/wotnot-family-products.htm#Sunscreen

Never heard of this brand before, but thought the ingredients looked interesting. Uses zinc oxide only (non nano) - assuming my maths is correct, looks to be 25% ??

Ingredients: grapeseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, candellila wax, beeswax, carnauba wax, shea butter, gmo-free vitamin e, purified water, aloe vera*, naticide. Active: zinc oxide (250mg/g)
*certified organic ingredients

I like the solar rx sunscreen. This is a spf30+ sunscreen and all physical, no harm to skin.

Has anyone tried Neutrogena Dry Touch spf55 or Coppertone oil-free face sunscreen spf60?
BTW,do not try any Badger sunscreen if your skin is combined/oily.Even though its ingredients is very safe, the cream is too greasy.

Does it feel greasy or hard to absorb? I have oily skin and always want to find some sunscreen which is light and will not make my face very shiny.

The Coppertone and Nuetrogena are not physical sunscreens; contain chemical filters.

I have not heard of Kimberly Sayer but maybe some members can give a feedback on their sunscreen.
Are they good to try (to keep our skin protected from UV rays)?

Well, all Badger sunscreens are highly certificated organic. But I won't recommend it to any combined to oily skin. They may work well for dry to normal skin.

What do you mean "Badger" sunscreen and which ones are "Badger" sunscreen? Do you think "Badger" suncreen will only work well with dry to normal skin? Have you tried?

All 3 of these are physical sunblocks that do not leave a white/cast and quickly absorb into the skin without that greasy feel. Listed in order of preference. The first two are tinted and it really helps avoid the ghost look. The nia one takes the longest to absorb. I used to use devita but stopped after I started getting sunspots...others have reported similar problems.

Hello bebeklein Smile Do you mean these 3 sunscreen that you mentioned below are not helpful in blocking UV rays?
What's the use of sunscreen if they can not protect our skin?

No the 3 sunscreens I listed protect me well and I highly recommend.

Its the devita solar SPF 30 which doesnt offer me protection. Although I loved the formula, it left me with hyperpigmentation around my cheeks. Others in this thread below had a similar experience and you can also google it. Just a heads up on this one particular product.

Well apparently I do not have enough posts to link but if combine all 4 lines and remove quotes and replace DOT With . That's the link
