You can make it yourself!!
I made mine with simply a moisturizing lotion that I liked and that was not excessively greasy, and I added about 10% Titanium Dioxide powder.
My own reason is that I just wanted to save some money, because most sunscreens are so expensive, and its anyway hard to find titanium only ones. I paid 1 oz of titanium dioxide powder about 2.50$... and that is enough for a looooong time.
I use it also when I do sports outdoor and it works great. Keep in mind that it tends to be pastry, thats inevitable and necessary for sun protection. I personally added some jojoba oil because that made the overall lotion less pastry (but its not greasy at all anyway).

Rossana, Where did you find pure Titanium Dioxide Powder? The only thing I could find was 1lb. much more then I need in it is in crystal form.

Say you have 10 ounces of lotion you just mix in about 1 ounce of TD to get around 10% concentration? Any special instructions or do you just mix it in?

I'm seriously thinking about adding some to Daycover.

Thanks
