I use Baby Block by Bannana Boat. It is 50 SPF, hypo allergenic, water

proof, tianiium dioxide, has UVA & UVB protection. I have used this for at

least a couple of years with luck. It is very inexpensive, about $6 for a

tube of 4 oz. You dont have to use much and I get mine at Wal Marts. I have

also seen it in grocery stores.

There's Clinique's City Block sunblock (spf 25) which has worked well

for me in the past. It has no chemical sunscreens or scent of any

kind. The active sunblock ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc

oxide.

Also, Dr. Sy (at www.lindasy.com) makes a Zinco Cream (tinted

and untined) that is spf 20. I use this and really like it. It also

has no perfume or chemical sunscreens. Dr. Sy also carries other

non-chemical sunscreen products, but I don't know if they have

fragrance in them or not.

Hope that helps!

Biosun Faces (SPF 25) works for me; I've been using it

for well over one year without problems. It's widely

available. Primary ingredient is Titanium Dioxide, a

physical sunblock, along with lower levels of standard

chemical sunblocks. I add a little concealer to make

it less white. This masks redness as well. Be sure to

check the SPF value if interested. There are two

versions of this product. SPF 25 version is primarily

physical sunblock. SPF 45 is primarily chemical

sunblock and can be more irritating. Jim

Hi le,

I use Clinique's almost makeup SPF 15. I have been using it for 6 years

with no bad effects as it is perfume free and has titanium oxide. I have a

very hard time with perfumes. I didn't see any alcohol in the ingredients,

but could not peel the label off to see the last few ingredients. Also, it

is tinted so it covered my redness (which is much less now that I use the

oatmeal Aveeno products). I also use it year round because it is lighter

than your average foundation which I always think looks like a mask on my

face. It protects my face from the year round Arizona sun and lasts all

day. Also, I would like for Mark NOT to post such wonderful stories such as

the one about the guy who was mauled by the bear. It made me cry and now my

eyes are all red(Just kidding, we need stories like that now and then).

Good Luck, RAL

I goofed with the name of the Clinique Sunscreen. It is Face Zone not

Face the Sun. I may have to rethink this one with the alcohol content.

If you are reactive to alcohol then look for this in your ingredients,

if you are not,then don't bother. I know some people don't react to

perfume but I have a severe perfume allergy so I look for this. I

wondered if anyone had tried a sunscreen for an entire year

successfully? le
