Looking for a good mineral-based sunscreen to wear? (preferably zinc oxide)

PS:

To your question about BB cream/ can't paste my answer there, can't find the SAVE button, so here it goes:

This... looks awesome, however,

the inactive ingredient retinyl palmitate is questionable; can speed development of skin tumors/lesions in contact with sun and it's a bb cream, you'll be going out into the open. Some organizations do a great job stopping companies from using it in sunscreen but the same companies continue to use them in BB creams.

About palmitic acid- allergen/ there are people allergic to this acid.

About sodium dehydroacetate- I'm not really concerned about its neurotoxic properties— you'd have to use a lot of it— but it can be an irritant to some peoples' skin.

About dimethicone- FatTeemo, if you tend to lose moisture or if your skin gets dry easily, avoid dimethicone. Just like petroleum-based products, this silicone oil can make dry skin worse.


Phenoxyethanol- ok, sometimes there is no way around it. Gotta forget it's on the list.

Just a sidenote about Aluminum hydroxide-

quotation:

"The FDA permits the use of this ingredient in OTC skin products (usually ones with an SPF). Aluminum hydroxide is not to be confused with the controversial Aluminum chlorohydrate, which is believed by many to cause cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Yet it should be noted that both ingredients comprise of Aluminum-a proven neurotoxin."

The OP should decide if Aluminium hydroxide and phenoxyethanol is something s/he consideres to be a questionable ingredient.

You /u/sew_sweet, if you know any other natural BB creams(with/out sunscreen- if, then zinc/titanium based), please please please, share them. I'm also looking for one without parabens and dimethicone- also, if possible without Aluminum hydroxide, sodium dehydroacetate and/or sodium dehydroacetate. I don't care about Phenoxyethanol, although I'm not a big fan of that one.
