Sunscreen Recs

**JeffM** · 08-22-2010, 03:38 PM

I have been using a L'Oreal Ombrelle Mexoryl sunscreen for several years purchased thru Canada, since at the time it was not FDA'd in the US. Now it appears Europe is ahead of the game again with Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M.. All 3 of these are vastly superior than avobenzene in stopping UVA. Does anyone have recommendations of a top notch sunscreen for outdoor-fishing in the deep south? I see Nivea and Avene (French) make Tinosorb sunscreens purchasable thru Canada or England. Any thoughts?

I have Scape sunscreen and Kynises in my bag when I go fly fishing. Works great after you fall into the stream, doesn't wash off. So I've heard though

Honestly No-Ad makes some great sunscreens that protect against UVA and UVB. They also consistently rate very high in Consumer Reports tests.

I ran across this link. Has some pretty good information on sunscreens. As a result, I have started using Badger Sunscreen for Face and Body, Unscented, SPF 30. I can find this easily at the local Publix, and Whole Foods markets.
I have very sun damaged skin and have spent way too much time in the Dermatologist office to not use good effective Sunscreen products.
