Great sunscreen find: kinesys

a...@yahoo.com (aanv)
This is the best sunscreen I have ever found. It's an oil–free,
alcohol free spray in a silicone base.
You can buy it directly from the company http://www.kinesys.com
It's a little more pricey around $11 for 4 oz., but I think it's worth
it, because I can use it on my face too.
I bought it from zooscape Red Safari for a few dollars less. I think
some sporting good stores sell it too.
The ingredient list is very short
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Octinoxate 7.5%, Octocrylene 7%, Octisalate 4%,
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Parsol 1789) 2%
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS Cyclomethicone, Octyl Palmitate, Dimethicone and
Trimethylsiloxysilicate, PVP/Hexadecene Copolymer.
When it sprays on it's sort of greasy, but not the way that
old–fashioned sunscreen is. It dries or sinks in pretty quickly, and
the greasiness goes away if you rub it in.
I've started using it on my face over moisturizer, since I have yet to
find a great spf moisturizer. The silicone makes a nice smooth base
for makeup.

P.S. I use the kids' version which doesn't have the mango fragrance
which I found overpowering and not suitable for daily use.
