I just saw an ad for this sunblock in today's NY Times. It looks very promising. Have any of you tried it?
I believe that Aveeno is one of the companies that removes the estrogenic components from soy in their products. It sounds like "Continuous Protection" is the term they use for stable UVA protection. Thoughts? I hope the alcohol in it doesn't cause stinging.
