Just wondering what do you guys use for Sunscreen since most commercial brands seem bad now

I have used one with zinc oxide as the active ingredient in the past. Sorry it’s the dead of winter and I don’t have the name right now.

I personally believe in shadow and covering up instead of using anything topical. In asia umbrellas are a common "tool" for shade and also little umbrella hats. 🙂 The sunshine will help with the detoxification though.
If you need it due to burning easily, Grant has reported his sensitivity to the sun has greatly improved over the years on a vitamin A free diet.

@are Here is a site I use to check the ingredients of personal care products. They pay special attention to sunscreen, so they might have reviewed those two brands. If you cannot find a specific brand however, you can search the ingredients. It’s pretty nifty!

This is the brand I have and like (but I honestly do not use it very often because I find a wide brimmed hat does the trick for me most of the time):

This article says that if you start out getting infrared light in the morning or evening before exposing yourself to mid day rays, you won't need sunscreen. "If sun exposure is practiced wisely ensuring exposure to beneficial infrared light during the morning and late afternoon/evening hours, this enables photoprotection from overexposure to mid-day sun" http://eatgenius.com/benefits-of-sunlight-and-photoadaptation/
I realize that not everyone will trust that advice, but I found it interesting.

You don't need sunscreen if you are not albino or have some health issues. Look at construction workers and other people working outside. They are simply outside every day and from spring they slowly tan and build their melanin protection.. Other simple and safe solution are long sleeves and a hat..

Brilliant site, thank you!! Yours had a really good score, but seems it is discontinued unfortunately! Use it sparingly 😉
Oh shoot, eh? I wonder how old my bottle is at this point... 😳 Lol.

How interesting, @romaine ! I look forward to reading this. I wonder if near infrared light therapy would have a protective affect as well?

@puddleduck I don't see why near ir therapy wouldn't help for photoadaptation. I tried red light therapy several years ago and felt even worse - it was probably working too good. I was hoping to increase my energy levels but my insomnia got worse and I started getting weird boils and sores. This was before I started taking vA supplements. I think exposure to sunlight early and later might be more gentle but I don't know.
