Hi! Has anyone tried this product? And if so, what did you think? Is it enough protection from the sun?
Any info is much appreciated!

I wouldn't be too thrilled with the ingredients personally, talc being just one I avoid.  |

Well I went to the link that Darkmoon posted, and it has some chemical sunscreen (octinoxate), a large amount of titanium dioxide, and a very small amount of zinc oxide (only 3%!). The octinoxate by itself is enough for me to dismiss this product... The large amount of titanium dioxide will certainly protect your skin from sunburn (that's the high spf), but it's not that strong against UVA and 3% zinc oxide is too little...
If instead this product had 20% zinc oxide it would be a different story! |
