I've been enjoying Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Ultra Light spf 50 for years as an ultra endurance athlete. However, I haven't experimented with too many brands. Sun Bum is nice but pricey since I go through so much sunscreen.
What are your favourites? Are there any Korean ones that come in big tubes that people have tried?
I've had several worrisome moles removed and my dermatologist recommended using a physical sunscreen instead of chemical. I like Australian Gold Botanical SPF50 Mineral Lotion because it's got both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and it doesn't seem to rub or sweat off for me. I personally think it smells nice but some people seem to be put off by the scent.
Which chemicals specifically are you talking about? All sunscreen active ingredients must be approved by the regulating body in my country, Health Canada. We do know that they're safe because they had to be thoroughly researched and scrutinized to be approved for sale in Canada. There are multiple sunscreen active ingredients that still aren't approved yet since it's such a thorough and slow process.
They recall any sunscreens which test to contain unsafe levels of benzene anyways.
Please drop the appeal to ignorance fallacy. I've had multiple loved ones die from cancer. Do not fuck with cancer.
