Zinc Oxide Sunscreen A zinc oxide or other sunscreen recommended by the Envioronmental Working Group that goes on clear ?
I tried a recommended Zinc Oxide product from Lavera and it makes me as white as a ghost even after a lot of rubbing in, and it also kind of sticks to my arm hairs. The convenience of this is a far cry from the clear sprays which I used to use (which are not recommeneded, the ones I used anyway). I am hoping to find an EWG recommended sunscreen that goes on as clear as possible.
Okay, I had the same problem trying to find a clear zinc oxide product. Solar Sense makes a clear zinc product for the face: http://www.solar-sense.com/carded-jar.shtml
I have tried this and it does rub in clear. It takes a bit of rubbing and then it dries. If your skin is slightly oily like mine, this may be too greasy for you as I have found it to be. It is slightly moisturizing so it can leave a shine sometimes.
I found another product recommended by the EWG -- the store brand, Walgreens Clear Zinc for Face. This is less shiny for me than the Solar Sense and much cheaper ($6.49 for 4 oz. versus $3.29 for 0.5 oz.)
Zinc oxide is really the best thing for your face because it really blocks out UVA rays (just make sure it's at least 6% zinc oxide).
Another product that goes on clear but is quite hard to rub in is Vanicream Sport 35. It's $9.99 for 4 ounces and you have to ask the pharmacy to order it for you. (Or you can go on the company Website and call them to request a sample. http://www.psico.com/products/products_view_options.cfm 1-800-325-8232.) I liked Vanicream as it was non-shiny, but it was just VERY thick and hard to rub in (plus it's a pain having to order it from the pharmacy or from the website). With the Walgreens brand I find I rub it in until it still appears slightly white and then after about 15 minutes the shine and whiteness have disappeared.
Stay away from products with Titanium Dioxide. Even though, like zinc oxide, it is a great UVA blocker, titanium dixodie is even MORE whitening than zinc.
For the rest of your body, I would give up on using zinc. It's just too hard to rub in, especially on areas with hair!
