I usually get some SPF 50+ kids sunscreen. The one I use has the downside that one looks like a mummy, but I guess that's the price one has to pay for physical protection (titanium dioxide usually IIRC).
Personally I'm the kind that turns from ghastly pale into red-like-a-boiled-crab at the flick of a switch, so I tend to wear long-sleeved shirts and a wide-brimmed hat as much as possible in the summer.
- morsch 4y agoI just hope the titanium dioxide is as non toxic as we hope, since it's damn hard to avoid, including in stuff that you put inside your body as opposed to just on it. I failed to get a toothpaste without it, but it's in other stuff I consume, too (for no particular reason other than optics).
- BearOso 4y agoI imagine the toxic method of action is similar with zinc oxide, but it hasn't been widely used in food. Or maybe it has?
- tsimionescu 4y agoTitanium dioxide is no longer considered safe as a food additive in the EU at least. Hopefully it's not as problematic on the outside of your body, but you never know...
