In my neck of the woods, the only zinc oxide sunscreen that I've found is the Walgreens Face and Neck in a 2oz tub. But, it is also a chemical block as well as physical. It works really well and blends nicely, but, sigh, if I use it too many days in a row, I break out into hives.
We mail order sunscreen to get zinc oxide. I've been having good luck with Blue Lizard Baby. A little ghosty, but it seems to last and [knock on carbon fiber] no allergies to the base chemicals.
Just an anecdotal warning on "Helioplex"--make sure to reapply as often as it says. While I will admit that I don't reapply most sunscreens, when I didn't with the Heliplex I burned really badly. I've read elsewhere that the chemical compound that they call "Helioplex" must be reapplied frequently. Great spectrum coverage, but needs to be reapplied.
