Just curious, what EU brand/brands did you end up going with? I couldn't find anything specific to that on the EWG website.

- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI use the Shiseido brand on my family. They are benzene-free according to ConsumerLab and Valisure. I believe they are Japanese but readily available in the US. As a bonus, it is probably the best-feeling sunscreen I've used (lightweight and not clammy). Downside is a large bottle is almost $50.
- gwittel 5y agoCurrently using: * La Roche Posay Dermo Pediatrics Lotion SPF 50. There is a USA version, but its a different active ingredient vs the EU version. EU version has UVA/UVB ratings, US version is UVB only due to different active ingredients. * UltraSun Face Fluid SPF 50 Previously used: * Anessa and Shiseido. Preferred the above for both feel and performance. * Think Kids/Baby SPF 50 (Zinc). Its OK as a physical barrier, but lacks UVA protection. They also just reformulated it so unclear how performance is impacted. I'm not sure what EWG will say about the EU ingredients. EWG tends to be very cautious, possibly too cautious. They give me vibes of natural=best or over alarmist; leaving out context (requires 100000x normal dose, etc.).
