kuuipo, i'm impressed by your sun protection knowledge! i can't get blue lizard or peter thomas roth where i live, so i'll have to scout around for alternatives. am i right to say that a sunscreen won't degrade after two hours if it contains no chemical sunscreens whatsoever?
for anyone facing the same problem as i am, i'm looking at clinique's spf 25 city block. it looks like there aren't any chemical sunscreens in there but there could be one under an alternative name i'm not aware of. going to do more research when i have the time but here's the ingredient list for now:
