Hello Eileen,

Where did you buy it from?
Is it available online?

I really need some like this for my wife.

Only Titanium dioxide without Zink oxide are difficult to find.

Hi! I have been looking online for 2 days. This is the only one I have found. Hope the Dr says its safe.

Odd their other 2 sunscreens have zinc. Agree it is so hard to find a zinc free sunscreen. Hope this helps, Eileen

Dear EileenY:

Dr. Pickart will probably post his thoughts when he has a chance.

Especially if the titanium dioxide is un-micronized (which will give it a more "pasty" color), this sunscreen may be a good option.


Best Wishes,

It looks OK. I don't know why they used so many ingredients.

When Im not using SB's Copper Sun I use Dr. Mercola's Natural Suncreen. About half the ingredients in the MelSon.
