I'm old enough to remember lifeguards at the beach putting the white zinc on their noses and sun bathers putting baby / tanning oil all over themselves like they were getting ready to walk into a rotisserie oven.
Somewhere along the line, the powers that be flipped the script on us.
I used the chemical and found out it's so unagreeable to the skin, I stopped. I would rather get sun burn and put Aloe Vera. Then I found out about Zinc Oxide.
I grew up in the sun, with no sunscreens. As a mid life adult I became concerned about preventing sunburn (not prevent sun exposure), and use only zinc based sunscreen with no additives.
Heavy chemical laden sunscreens have been linked to a higher incidence of skin cancer!
You know about that now but back then, you remember, the pharma and all the commercials said if you don't use their chemicals, you will get skin cancer, right?
The chemicals in regular sunscreen, when exposed to the sun cause mutations in skin cells causing cancer! This is why as more people have been convinced to use sunscreen skin cancer rates have e skyrocketed. Some mineral based ones are OK for occasional use but best option is to avoid sun in heat of the day or cover up with fabric if you are prone to burn.
Look at the ingredients in sunscreen. Would you put any of that stuff in your food? Your skin is a permeable barrier meaning that anything you put in your skin enters your bloodstream.
If you want to go out in the sun, take a supplement called Astaxanthin which is a super antioxidant which will prevent sun damage
I wouldnt use it.
Never proven to be safe.
Yet the TGA have admitted a few brands have shown carcinogens. (Cancer causing ingredients).
But it was in their near 7,000 big HARMA products recalled in a decade long data file.
does anybody have info on sunscreen. i've heard a few people say to not use it, but i'm not sure why.
The chemicals in the sunscreen are a concern and the potential to block Vitamin D absorption.
Why man believes that he can improve upon God's design is absurd.
Mom's now a days literally think you'll die if you go outside without sun screen, it's mind blowing to me. And that shit is literal cancer.
Apparently humans hid indoors since the dawn of time, and only recently came out of caves after the invention of sun screen.
You can use zinc cream. I wouldn't touch the commercial sun screens. Just like everything else, it's crap. Causes skin problems.
YES!

Is it zinc, or zinc oxide? My two minutes of searching has only found zinc oxide sunscreen.
My understanding is it's zinc oxide, which is actually a sun block. Also has healing properties for sunburn and wound healing.
Good to know! Thank you
It's zinc oxide. Sticky as heck but good for you!
That sounds unappealing, but I'm going to get some anyway. Thanks!
zinc oxide, same stuff in diaper rash cream
