    Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  Can you let me know a good brand for sunscreen face and body but min. SPF 50 or above. I have badger company SPF 40 but it is so hard to apply on face or body. It is zinc based and quite thick.
    Naked Poppy offers only SPF 30.
    At the age of 45 living in dubai, I need a stronger sun protection 😃

    Hi  – Suntegrity is a non-toxic brand that offers SPF 50 for face and body. I haven’t tried it so check reviews about its application.

    But I’ll also encourage you to focus on “internal” sunblock protection by consuming lots of antioxidant-rich foods and avoiding vegetable seed oils, fried foods, and sugar/sweeteners.

    I personally take astaxanthin (Dr. Mercola brand) on and off every few months. PQQ is another powerful antioxidant. Seeking Health is a good brand.

    I hope this helps.

      @Bernadette_Abraham Thanks a lot Bernadette. I will look into Suntegrity. Yes 100% agree with having support internally as well. I take glutathione for antioxidant support but didn’t know about the others you mentioned. Nice to have more anti-aging supports 😚

        I just noticed that Suntegrity’s SPF 50 has titanium dioxide. This is NOT recommended and should be avoided!!! Ughhh! My apologies. This is why reading ingredients carefully is so important. While their SPF 30 and other creams are clean and non-toxic, their spray bottle version with SPF 50 is not. Your Badger product is still the highest/cleanest one out there as far as I know.

          @Bernadette_Abraham Thanks Bernadette for letting me know Btw, Badger company now has SPF 50 which is pure zinc based again but a lot easier to apply on face compared to SPF 40… I will still check the other brands tho you recommended
