Sunscreen with zinc oxide???

I read somewhere that sunscreen without zinc oxide protects you from burn but doesn't neccessarily protect you from skin cancer but last night when I looked at all the sunscreens in the grocery store none of them had zinc oxide in the ingredients. Where can I find something that does? Which brands have it? I do have a face lotion called Purpose that has it but I need an all over sunscreen.

Blue lizard makes a sunscreen with zinc oxide. You may have to o to a drug store for this. It costs a little more than regular sunscreen, but it works wonders. There is the regular kind, the face kind, and I want to say they have a baby one too. I had a fresh scar on my face a couple of summers ago and my dermatologist insisted that I use this daily so as to protect it from the sun. It is a great sunscreen. It takes a little longer to blend in than others, but unlike straight zinc oxide, you can get it to blend in so you don't have to walk around with visible white stuff. Another bonus--the bottle turns blue when exposed to UV rays (completely useless, but kind of cool).

Hi. Zinc oxide is a natural source pigmented mineral, quarry mined and further refined to a fluffy white powder. It is commonly found in cosmetics as a whitening agent and it is also found within sunscreens because of its impressive capability to block UV light. Zinc Oxide has an enormous refractive index (ability to bend light) and comes in right under the refractive capabilities of diamonds! This is why it is the first choice for powerful sunscreens!!

One of the company that uses ZnO in their product - UV Natural. http://www.uvnatural.com/ Hope this helps!

What you want is a sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB. If you can't find the zinc oxide listed in the ingredients make sure it blocks both UVA & UVB and you should do fine.
