Sunscreen news

[OakLeaf]

It must be just me - I can't use anything from Neutrogena. It breaks me out something awful.

Funny the EWG didn't review Bullfrog, which seems to be the most popular sunblock among outdoor types. I guess I'll have to read the label, since Coppertone discontinued my favorite (and EWG-favored) brand. I wish they'd update the site, too, since a lot of formulas have changed since they did that. (I guess I could send them a donation if I'm asking for more information...)

I also read just last week that the spec SPF rating is valid only if you apply 2 oz (!) of sunblock to your entire body. Now, I don't know how much that translates to when it's only the arms from mid-bicep down (excluding the hands), back of the neck, tips of the ears, and nose.

ETA: I've always been nervous about buying sunblock mail order since I can't verify the expiration date before I buy it. Anybody want to share their experiences? I don't mean "expired before it gets here," I'm afraid of "expired before I've used a third of it."
