[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mineral sunscreen literally has the same active ingredient as diaper rash cream.  My aunt never burned badly but then lost part of her cheekbone to skin cancer (luckily not worse).  Slather that stuff on.[/quote]

I do the zinc. [/quote]

Ugh, it leaves residue over EVERYTHING, stains clothes, and sits on top of the skin like paste (ahem, like diaper cream). I really want to find a good mineral sunscreen, but I haven't found a good option that doesn't leave me cursing the sunscreen gods. Any recs?[/quote]

The only ones that blend in well are also chemical, like Elta MD.  :-( [/quote]

This is my favorite too.  I have a large elta MD UV lotion that comes in a pump.  I keep one in my car one in my
Kitchen and put it on the kids before we go outside.  Zinc plus one chemical sunscreen (forget which one). It doesn’t transfer on my
Dark purse, side of the car, backpack, etc. like most mineral ones do  [/quote]
