What is the best sunscreen this season

[cilantromapuche]

Last season we loved the Blue Lizard sunscreen. I know the FDA approved a new ingredient in the fall. Do these sunscreens now include it?

Is it helioplex? We use the Neutrogena dry-touch or cool spray (both available at Costco). Love them both!

I *think* the recently approved FDA ingredient is Mexoryl. So far I've only seen it in Le Roche Posay. L'Oreal owns the patnet on it, apparently. I know it's been available in Europe and you can find a place that sells it online but I haven't seen it in any B&M stores here in the states.

We got the Neutrogena stuff @ Costco too. I love the Dry Touch for my face and the Cooling spray. Sooo easy to apply! Where was the spray stuff when I was growing up??? Did you see the latest coupon for them in the mailer? Amongst what is currently widely available in the states, my dermatologist says Neutrogena's Helioplex is the next best thing to the Mexoryl.

Neutrogena was going to be my next purchase. I wondered why I wasn't seeing more of the new ingredient.
Thanks ladies!
