OT--Sunscreen substitutes

I've been busy getting my mom and dad ready for their 2 month trip to

Hawaii (I will accompany them as a nurse.) The house they've been

staying at for years there (hence don't see its horrid demise) is moldy

and infested. I will be staying in my tent out on the lawn going in

mainly to cook.

I searched the files and saw a bit about the metals in sunscreen but

wonder if anyone knows of a " healthy " sunscreen product. I mainly want

it for my face..

I was thinking of mixing zinc oxide into some face cream but wondered

what you thought?

Thanks. ~robin

---------I think you can probably find sunscreen with zinc oxide in it, but

not sure what else it would have. Have you tried a HFS? Titanium dioxide is

commonly used in them, and according to HTI, Andy says that this form is poorly

absorbed. So might not be too big of a concern, for short term use, although

you're talking 2 months, aren't you? Is coconut oil a natural

sunscreen?---------Jackie

From my reading on the subject, titanium dioxide is not too bad provided it

is not the nano-particle type. One company that makes a product that has

clearly stated it does not use the nano-particle titanium dioxide is Aubrey

Organics. That's what we use on our kids when we feel we have to - we try

to use nothing unless there's a probability of a sunburn.

Robin-

Last year Environmental Working Group tested products and found that Badger

brand sunscreen was the best.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character

is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think

you are.
