Subject: Re: Need tinted sunblock

[Guest guest]

I want to comment on the Ingredient Methoxycinnamat (Ethylhedxyl

p-Methoxycinnamate)

I have seen people mention it a few times in different posts. Everything

that I have read on these ingredients say it is bad. I don't have my

cosmetic ingredient Book with me at the moment, but I looked it up on the

Web and it says It is a Skin and Eye irritant and to minimize contact with

it.

If I remember right, My book said it either it caused Tumors in Rats or it

could cause nervous disorders.

Just a caution. I personally threw away all of my sun blocks that contained

it.

Janece, the active ingredients on Drugstore.com list both Titanium

Dioxide (Micronized) and Ethylhedxyl p-Methoxycinnamate, which is an

organic sunscreen. And unfortunately for me, the narrative on the

site described it containing Vit E among other antioxidants

To the original poster, Clinique has a Super City Block that is spf

25, and tinted similar to the original city block. I don't know the

exact ingredients, but I'll find out tomorrow and post them.
