What kind of sunscreen do you use? and if you have kids what about for them?

I try to always get zinc oxide or titanium dioxide based products because i read they are better for the kids..........but i never read anything about other products til recently ( after i ran out of one and just bought coppertone kids spray on!)........but i read how the chemicals are actually cancer causing and they encourage free radical formation in the skin!
so anyway, i just ordered Aubrey organics......2 different kinds of sunscreen.
so am wondering what kind you all use?

i use neutrogena spf 45 fresh cooling body mist sunblock. it comes in a continuous spray can so it's super easy to apply and doesn't feel greasy or anything.

I've been using the SPF 30 NO AD Pirates of the Caribbean Spray for every day. I need something stronger if I go to the beach though.

Kiss My Face for Face and Neck - on my neck and face : )

then cheaper stuff for the rest of my bod ..

the KMF stuff was expensive but worth it ... I usually break out when I have to wear sunscreen on my face but I've had pretty good luck with it ...

my doggie has lupus and we have to put sunscreen on her nose (that's where the lupus has attacked her the most) and those stick sunscreen tubes are what we use sometimes ... don't know how well it would work with kiddos though

I use Avene 50SPF sunscrene lotion. I wouldn't reccomend it unless you have super-super sensitive skin like me. It leaves a pinky tinge to your skin and is like almost $40 for like 300 mL, but my face hasn't broken out, it doesn't sting (most creams do on my face) and it works well as far as i haven't even gotten slightly pink from the sun and i only apply it once a day.

hey is there anything in the cheap sunscreen that wouldnt be vegan? im having a horrible time finding out since all the ingredients i cant pronounce or never heard of. would it be wise just to go to a HFS and buy some sunscreen there?

I thought Neutrogena tested on animals? Am I mistaken?

We just picked up the Alba mineral kind as well. They have some vegan, chemical-based varieties too, but they kinda creep me out
