I don’t know because I’ve never worn it lol
Don’t have links, but as I understand it’s counter productive to block sunlight from your skin generally speaking. Beyond it being necessary to create vitamin D, sunlight helps your skin produce a lot of other physiological responses that are good to your health. Fiat Dermatologists will fear monger you all day, but if you’re not burning the pros outweigh the cons of sun exposure. And there is all the garbage vegetable oils and processed petrochemicals you’re putting on your skin that are definitely being absorbed. No bueno.
If you’re pale as a ghost because you spend all the time inside and then you go to FL for spring break then you’ll probably need some sunblock if you’re gonna be on the sun because your skin is not ready for that stimulus and you will burn. Ideally you want to spend time outside year round so your skin can adapt to the sun so it doesn’t burn.
If you must use sunblock because you’re really pale or because you have tattoos, I would go with tallow based sunscreen that are mineral based. There are some that are just tallow + zinc + vitamin E.
Does make sense tho. I need to dive in more because of tattoos. Thanks 😊
See my other comment in this thread regarding sunscreen. Here’s one for you re tattoos in case you’re interested — https://nitter.net/NutriDetect/status/1596613701364109312#m
I find Nutrition Detective to be very high signal when it comes to things like this. He talks about sunscreen some specifically, but his approach to things like this is more general. I tried to do a YouTube search to find one about sunscreen for you, but I couldn’t find one quickly. It makes the most sense to ask more fundamental questions like: is whatever I put in or on my body beneficial or harmful? What harms my body? I’d say poisons/toxins. What is beneficial for my body? I’d say nutrients. Then I’d ask, what do sunscreens consist of, nutrients or poisons? Do I even actually know what is a poison or a nutrient? I was extremely surprised to find out that some things I thought were nutrients are actually toxins. These truths were even more surprising considering that healthcare has been my profession for a very long time
