Customer Reviews of SOLBAR ZINC Size: 4 OZ
Customer Review: I love the beach - but I love my life more: Having it both ways!
Summary: 5 Stars
All sunscreens are not the same. Even those listing the same degree of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) are not the same. Even those saying they provide a high percentage of both UVA and UVB protection are not the same. Knowing what the real differences are can give you information that can be, quite literally, life saving. Not only are the various chemical formulations different, but most of them provide ONLY `chemical' protection which, according to current dermatological thinking and research, is simply inadequate. A layer of `physical' protection is needed as an ingredient in sunscreen creams and lotions to assure a more complete safety screen for your body. Zinc Oxide is one of those physical sun blockers - and one most often recommended by professionals. It is found in this SOLBAR sunscreen which I have been using faithfully - since being diagnosed with a melanoma (which was successfully and completely) surgically removed. In my hopes to develop no more of these life-threatening growths, I have begun to use this product regularly and encourage you to give it some thought.
Most modern sunblocking preparations contain specific chemicals which DO provide some protection from the harmful rays of the sun - especially for those of us who were overexposed (and often burned) on the beach as children. (The vulnerability developed by those early exposures apparently never really goes away.)
The active ingredients include: Homosalate (10%), Octinoxate (7.5%) (both chemical protectors found in many other products AND Zinc Oxide (7.5%) - the physical protection ingredient that makes this cream MUCH more effective.
I am not a physician - so do not consider myself qualified to give a medical opinion.
However, as a melanoma survivor, I DO feel qualified (and even kind of compelled) to advise you about this product - and to suggest that, if you have doubts about what I am saying, to check with your own Physician or, if you have access to the specialty, a Board Certified Dermatologist. It is a bit more expensive than other brands - but how much is your health, safety and life worth?
I love the beach - but I love my life more. How wonderful to be able to enjoy the first without fearing that it will lead to the premature conclusion of the second. Give it a try!
