Staying out of the sun and long pants/sleeves. With all of today's technology, most any brand you buy will be fine. I use Bullfrog from WM, CVS, or WalGreens...most places. I look for sweatproof and waterproof. When I'm outside in the summer, I'm sweating and in water, otherwise, I wear clothes to cut grass and garden with hats, wide brimmed hats! Oh, sunglasses.

Hi--On a daily basis I use Josie Marans SPF. My fave was her 40, but now it's been reformulated and has SPF 47. I'm not loving this one as much as the last, but I'm getting used to it. Still better than many other physical SPFs I've tried. I also really like SkinCeuticals Sheer Fusion SPF 50. You can get this on Amazon or drugstore.com.

I love Paula's Choice Resist Super Light Spf 30. It is all zinc oxide and had a tint. It wears really well under makeup too.

Yes, ITA. Recently starting using this one and still use the other physical SPF in the Resist line. I also like one from Juice Beauty. I know I am forgetting one, too. Oh, and I always keep an extra SunForgetables in my convertible. Very handy to have when the roof comes down.

Elta md spf 41 tinted. It does not irritate my sensitive skin.

For body I'm finishing my stock of Suzanne Organics SPF 30. Not tinted, so I can use it from neck down. Unfortunately I don't think it's being sold any more.

So back to DeVita or Josie Maran's for body....as long as it's not tinted.

For face, Suzanne Organics has a new tinted sunscreen. I just know I'll love it!

I prefer Josie Maran's SPF 47 though I've heard wonderful things about Clarins' SPF. They're physical SPF with high SPF protection, up to SPF 70, I believe.

Pinky-I've heard good things about Clarins, too. I might have to try it at some point.

I've never heard of a physical SPF going as high as 70. Have they added avobenzone or octinoxate?

Elta MD physical 41. Tinted. HG for me.

Suntegrity. VERY highly rated on EWG, wonderful ingredients, wonderful company.

I'm currently looking around for another for my face, though, because this is just a tad TOO emollient for me (although some people love it as a primer).

You can get samples for a couple of bucks, and they have tinted options, too.

My mistake, I confused it with another brand, but Clarins is a phyiscal SPF with protection greater than 30. Also MD Solar Science too.

I always go back to Shiseido, but keep something in mind--EVERYTHING is a chemical. The mere fact that it exists means it's a chemical makeup of some kind. It's like saying someone doesn't want hormones in their food, but if it lived (plant or animal), then it had hormones.

alba Botanica. Sold at Whole Foods, some Walgreens & Target. I buy mine at iherb.com. Moisturizing, does not stay white. Under $10. Plus they offer body and facial & SPF 45.

EltaMD Physical, EltaMD Pure, Paula's Choice Ultra Light, and Supergoop cc cream are my favorite purely physical.

Clarins UV Plus HP is my favorite for my face. I also like sunscreens by Elta MD for face and body.
