So, I haven't used sunscreen this year and since I progressed into the less pleasant phase of AF that I am now experiencing. I started applying my good old 15 from Banana Boat on Wednesday - 3 days ago - and also started a new glandular with zinc in it that seems to be upsetting my balance a bit; hope to find out why and how very soon.
I am in no way disparaging Bana Boat products but when I googled the first ingredient which is an UV absorber at 5.25% strength, I was surprised by the side effects. I had checked the bottle yesterday to make sure that it didn't contain zinc but then I thought I should check the ingredients, in case they were a form of zinc.
Here is the link on Octinoxate:
Not sure if this has directly affected me over the past couple of days and caused any of the symptoms that I'm feeling BUT, I will definitely try to find an organic and AF-friendly sunscreen if at all possible.
Happy Tanning!
