What Type of Sunscreen should I use?

You may be concerned about the safety of sunscreen products as there have been recent news on active ingredients in sunscreen being found in measurable quantities in peoples’ blood stream. 
Our recommendations are to use only sunscreens that have as their active ingredient titanium dioxide or zinc oxide as these ingredients have been labeled as “GRASE” (generally recognized as safe and effective) by the FDA. We also strongly recommend sun protective behaviors and clothing, hats and sunglasses. Specifically, we recommend avoiding the midday sun between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm and utilizing specialized clothing such as by Coolibar that has SPF built in. Wise brimmed hats and sunglasses will help protect your face and ears and neck and eyes.
