Question

Is there such thing as organic sunscreen or natural sunscreen?

Answer 1

Of course!  There are many...

1. Badger Sunblock.  Made with zinc oxide, and natural essential oils. No chemicals.

2. California Baby Sunscreen. Made with titanium dioxide, natural oils/waxes.  No chemicals.

Those are the 2 best that I know of, and are most popular.

Things to look for in a sunscreen/sunblock:

- zinc oxide

- titanium dioxide

- parasol 1789 (avobenzone)

- natural oils/fragrances

Things to avoid:

- oxybenzone

- phthalates (hidden under the word: fragrance)

- parabens (preservatives)

Answer 2

Please see www.mercola.com/sunlight for a good answer.

Answer 3

Yes, there is. I use Badger Balm sunscreen, which is a physical blocker, rather than a chemical blocker like most sunscreens. It has zinc oxide in it.  It also has a lot of other natural ingredients in it that are very healthy. :) It's kind of white, but if you rub it on well, you won't look silly like that person on the V8 commercial with a white stripe across his nose, lol!

You also might check in any health food stores where you live, or try someplace like Trader Joes.
