I use both physical and chemical sunscreen, just depends on the time of year. For physical I love Clinique's Super City Sunblock and also their "Active White Labs" Sun Block. The latter cannot be found in the states. I purchase it fromwww.gloss.com. Both look tinted but actually aren't. They make a great base too--I usually don't have to wear foundation when I use either sunscreen:!: |

I just went to the link you provided and took a look at the sunscreen. I imagine because it is purely a zinc base it would be rather thick/heavy and also very white(which you may or may not like). I'm no sunscreen expert though. Try reviewing other threads that deal with sunscreen(there's been quite a few previous posts). I know there's lot of talk about proper UVA/UVB coverage. I'm horrible at explaining it.
Hope this helps and good luck! |

The soleo one says it uses nanofine technologie(whatever that means)so the zinc isn't white so it may be okay.

Lifeplyr01 what's the difference between the two clinique ones? Do they have the same texture? I've tried the city block before and didn't like the texture much
Thanks |

I've been using Birch Trees Daily Guard because of the the high % of zinc oxide, the price is right, a little goes a long way and 10% of the profits go to cancer prevention. |
