Hard to know which ones really are safe/good these days with so many conflicting information. Sometimes I wonder if wearing sunscreen/sunblock is really better than wearing nothing considering so many of them contain chemicals that can be carcinogenic or toxic themselves.

I tried using a sunscreen that was rated one of the safest on Skin Deep website. I tried the Keys brand, but it made me nervous as it contains nano particles. It also smelled bad and made me break out even though it claimed to be non comedogenic. It also said it only works if you reapply every 30 minutes...

While at Whole Foods I saw a tin of sunblock from Badger Balm (incidentally that's where I got my username from, I had just discovered Badger Balm). It was basically titanium dioxide and zind oxide. But the little tin cost $28, it would hardly last me one workout at the pool!
