ironically after combing through EWG to look at sunscreens, came to the conclusion that the absolute most conservative approach is to use mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc or titanium particles. brands such as badger and raw elements are in that category, but they often leave an undesirable white cast. which leads one to tinted versions (that contain natural pigment to make the white cream instead skin tone color).

but guess what, after an exhaustive search over a couple years that led to Raw Elements daily moisturizer with SPF 30, it turns out Raw Elements is in this list of affected products! guess you just can't win!
