The FDA hasn’t approved a new sunscreen since the 90’s, while there’s been a ton of innovation.
Because, well, they’re a horrible bureaucratic regulatory behemoth that stifles innovation and causes more harm than good to consumers.

Wouldn’t it be great if we weren’t hobbled by the FDA, and could buy real sunscreen, like the Europeans?

Ugh. My last apartment I lived next to a wannabe EDM DJ. Every goddamn week it was the same. damn. thing. Monday - Wednesday he’d start “composing” around 11:00 at night, just as we were trying to go to sleep to go to work the next day. Thursday nights, he managed to have a gig at a local bar. He’d inevitably invite…
They also had this thing to make an even line.
You might want to educate yourself a little more then, because the minerals in physical sunscreens cause the chemicals in chemical sunscreens to degrade faster. That’s why it is not recommended to wear mineral makeup with titanium oxide or zinc over chemical sunscreens—you will burn.

Zinc Oxide on it’s own or in conjunction with Titanium Dioxide are the safest ways of blocking all three sun damaging rays; UVA 1, UVA 2, UVB.

BTW - for those that need to know (and family is always aksing me about derm & cosmetic ingredients) “benzo”as part of an ingredient name is a non-starter for me. Also avoid those with “crylo”, “benzone (esp oxybenzone)”, “cinnama”, “enes” etc.

In Australia, sunscreen is sold as a therapeutic product, rather than cosmetic. It’s pretty much against the law to sell anything that doesn’t adhere to AS/NZS 2604 and up until recently any sunscreen over SPF30+ was considered ineffective- growing up in NZ I could never work out why an American brand SPF 75+ would…

I only like sun blocks, rather than sun screens. The sun screen chemicals get absorbed in your skin, but sun blocks don’t. I specifically like nano-zinc oxide sun blocks. My dermatologists sells “Elta MD”, which has full UVA/UVB protection. The nano-zinc oxides are transparent and they are not like the old days where…

Elta MD UV Clear (SPF 46) for those of us with SUPER SENSITIVE SKIN. It’s expensive but doesn’t have that horrible thick oily layer that I think makes so many of us skip sunscreen in the first place.

God I have SO many, where do I begin? Growing up in LA, it’s inevitable. I have terrible stories about some really major people. But I feel if I tell them I’ll give myself away! So here’s a story about Juliette Lewis that stands out as particularly egregiously bad celebrity behavior. I was working at a store in LA…

Glass houses, motherfucker.
Is Mystery Cat in Jamiroquai?
I've never used the real deal, but I'm thinking about getting the Maybelline dupe.
Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy owns Hennessy? You don't say!
dear michelle,
better than jared leto!
Warning: this post is suggestions. If you're not looking for suggestions, don't read this comment. Instead, read this: I'm sorry! That really sucks. It must be really tough to deal with. I hope someday you are able to get it to work for you, or just not need it at all. Good luck!
I, for one, am glad to hear this. I have NEVER liked Clea Duvall and have always wanted to push her in the face.
