Summer's coming and I'm trying to find another sunscreen that will offer more protection than my current Keys Solar Rx. I tried the Lavera SPF 15 tester at Whole Foods and on my hand it seemed lightweight, non-sticky, non-greasy, and the combined percentage of zinc and titanium dioxide exceeded that of Keys, even though it had a lower SPF, which I think is due to different sunscreen grading regulations in Europe.
The Lavera SPF 15 has alumina, which is a toxin, despite the fact that it's natural, but I decided to compromise because it's so hard to find a decent, natural sunscreen. Side note though, I did contact Lavera weeks ago and asked why they had alumina in their sunscreens, including their baby sunscreen, when their websites state that they use safe ingredients. I never heard back from them. No customer service there.
When I tried the product on my face, the wear was comfortable, however, it looked like clown makeup on me even though I'm quite fair/pale. So back to Whole Foods it went. Oh and the SPF 20 is even worse-- I tested it on the back of my hand and even then it was apparent that it was heavy, extremely white and tacky-feeling.
