Question:
Is there such a thing as a natural, chemical-free and metallic-free
(free from Titanium and ZincO) sunscreen??
I was talking to this lady from an Organic store and she mentioned that
I need to use such a sunscreen. Anyone has come across one or is using
it? Does it even exist?
Answer:
If I recall correctly - the only non chemical sunscreens are Titanium
dioxide - Zinc and something else ? (maybe Parasol - - - something like that).
The 3rd non-chemical degrades in time or light or - -don't remember exactly
what the article said but I do remember it wasn't recommended as a sunscreen. -
ergo I didn't waste brain space remembering what I shouldn't use.
The article went on to advise that the physical blocks were best as they
reflect the light and prevent burns. The chemicals absorb the light - ergo
creating a greenhouse effect on the skin - and causing skin cancer?? Sounded
logical to me so I use a physical block.
