Talking with my chiropracter the other day he alerted me to the fact that many sunscreens/blocks contain ingredients that that are either carciogenic or full of hormones that one would not really want to put on your body. What's the consensus opinion here? I did a google search and came up with many sites discussing this potential issue. The 'safer' sunscreens are very expensive (suprise suprise). Here's one site that had decent information.http://www.healthychild.com/first-aid/sunburn-prevention-are-sunscreens-safe/

    I never use sunscreen, just rub some baby lotion on after shaving.

    Didn't read the article, but if you can't eat it don't wear it.
    What gets on you gets in you.
    Largest organ you have is your skin.
    You absolutely must take the time educate yourself about what's in your best interest, it's too important to leave it up to your friends or doctor to decide.
    Badger makes a good product.

    Edit:  Still didn't read the article but I did look at the ingredient list for green screen, looks like a solid product.  But you're going to do your own research anyway ;)
