New Sunscreen approved by FDA

Sunscreen/Block is important for all of us who are regularly out in the elements. This new product is great sun protection. My wife has been buying this from Canada and Europe previous to the FDA approval. www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2006/NEW01417.html It works equivilant to zinc oxide in my own experience...My nose gets the worst of sun exposure no matter how much block I put on. When I started using this, it prevented me from becoming Rudolph and, hopefully, more serious skin complications down the road. I use it now on my whole face, and have yet to get burned. The down side? It's expensive.

Where do you get it in Canada? Is it standard drugstore fair or only from a specialty shop? Do they make a sweatproof version?

Yes, standard drugstore. I think we got it at shoppers drug mart. You may have to ask for the location where it is displayed...If applied 15 minutes before you start to sweat, it really does a good job of staying on. FYI-The Euro stuff is better at being sweatproof , as it is more of an oil than a cream. But we can't find that version here. The Euro stuff is called Anthelios XL (oil), where as the in N. America it is Anthelios SX (cream).

Thanks Toby.
