Saw some Bull Frog sunscreen on sale and stocked up, thinking I'd read it was a good one here. Just searched the threads to be sure I have the varieties with safe ingredients and no luck.
Can't find it on the SkinDeep database or SafeMama list. Did I make this up? Confuse it with Blue Lizard? I could see that.

If so, it's going back.

Feeling dumb .:confused: Help a tired mama out.

I generally stick with physical sunblocks who's active ingredient is zinc oxide. Both of the sunscreens above are chemical sunblocks. There's also fragrance and parabens in the inactive ingredient list, so it's not going to rate very highly on the Skin Deep list. I'd probably just return them.

Frogs and lizards are both creatures. Plus, we have the BBB poster Frgsnlzrds (sp?).:ROTFLMAO:

You might have confused it with Blue Lizard, but I thought Bullfrog also made a physical sunblock?
