dou ng hai ga~
there're a few sunscreens that you can get here without avo and oxybenzone!
it's hard to avoid the other chemincal ingredients.. but avo and oxybenzones aren't in a few sunscreens that i have~ especially ones for babies or kids!

Rainy

my sun screen only has the avobenzone... not the oxybenzones... is that still safe?

cinderelly

then YES la. oxybenzone is that one that's the most harmful.
i just avoid avo just cuz i can't use it with mineral make up!

any sunscreen with spf 15+ will contain chemical ingredients.

"""don't contain avobenzone and oxybenzone..."""

can you give us the full list.  the sunscreen i have on hand doesn't contain the above two ingredients.  but just wonder what else should we look for.  thanks.

the 1st link tofu provides links you to this website as well that i was gonna share with you girls

http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com ... ndex.php?nothanks=1

but the sunscreens that they recommend (the ones rated "zero" for harmfullness) are basically physical block sunscreens that do not contain any chemicals.. and like i said they cast a white film on your skin if you apply more than a little..... i have all 3 of of the top 3 recommended brands (1.Blue Lizard        anything without oxybenzone 2.California Baby        anything with SPF 30+ 3.CVS) i only use them sparingly on specific areas or on my neck/body.

i was all paranoid about the chemical ingredients last year and i did a whole bunch of research. i ended up buying enough sunscreens that'll prolly last me a lifetime. -.- i don't think it's necessary to follow that database lor. just avoid oxybenzone for your sunscreen should be good enough. (or avobenzone as well if you use mmu like me..)

thanks cinderelly, but which one do you use for face ar?

Finally i receive No.21 Missha M perfect BB Cream this morning. I also received a sample of Missha M BB Boomer which "is a BB boosting cream which boosts the adherence and duration of BB cream and makes your skin look brighter when applied before BB Cream. Its pearl, antioxidant and moisturizing ingredients make your skin more radient while leaving it moisturized." (copied from the description)

I think both cream are easy to put on the face, but as other people said, it's kind of a bit thick for me. My face look so pale after applying it. After 6 hrs of running around to do my errands, there's oil all over my T-zone.  But it could be the effect of applying the Missha M Boomer before BB cream.

The smell of BB Boomer is like Pearl or Johnson Baby Powder
The smell of BB Cream is like Rose
I love both smell.

I will try to apply the BB cream without the Boomer tomorrow or some day laters. ha..

i got mine from superstore ja~ it's meant for babies. spf 50! when i bought it i didn't realize but it's actually superstore's own brand =\ but i didnt see it there this year. but i saw that coppertone has one as well.. it looks like it's similar to the one that i have. it's in a long tube~

tofu

thx cinderelly, but coppertone is too "lup"  for me, it will cause acne la.  too bad
