Maybe I can stop driving to Canada to bring back contraband now.

Is this better than others? I admit to just buying by SPF and price.

I travel very often and I buy japanese and European face sunscreens for years now. Effective, cheap, no chemical smell and much lighter.

Nah, keep driving to Canada and give them as much money as possible. They deserve it for having to deal with terrible neighbors.

From what I’ve read, it’s definitely better. It’s like the protection of zinc sunscreens without turning your face white. It also doesn’t get absorbed into the skin, so it’s safer. This is apparently a big deal to get extremely effective sunscreen without health risks or a white face. I’ve been waiting for this.

As someone who burns walking down the driveway to my mailbox, I am so happy that we can access this sunblock now!

This sunscreen will not be sold in Maui county or anywhere where there’s a similar law protecting coral reefs because there’s not enough data showing that it doesn’t negatively affect coral.
