Re: Some Titanium Dioxide Sunblocks - For Marjorie

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the list. I have been using the Neutrogena 17 sunblock for

almost a year.

It seems quite good. It also seems that they have now come out with a higher

SPF.

Inexpensive and widely available.

How thoughtful, Matija! I bet a lot of people here appreciate your

efforts, not just me. Thank you.

Neutrogena looks especially good, and is probably easily available at

a reasonable price. Anyone have experience with it?
