Sport sunscreens are critical for those of us who exercise outdoors or spend time in the water.  Here are some good sport sunscreens.

Colorescience - SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear

Colorescience

SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear

$50.00

This is a great invention, and I use it all the time. It comes in a small tube, with a self-contained brush. You just shake the powder down, and brush on the powder. The powder stays on your skin, and the high zinc and titanium content gives you great UVA and UVB blocking. Great for a humid climate (or oily skin), because it goes on dry and leaves no oily, greasy sheen. Expensive, but worth it. Layer it over a sunscreen lotion for maximum protection at altitude or in intense sun.

Fallene - CoTZ SPF 58

Fallene

CoTZ SPF 58

$26.00

This sunscreen is a hard-working, high quality product at a great price. It's a mineral sunscreen, with 10% titanium dioxide and 3% zinc oxide, so it gives extremely effective UVA and UVB protection, without all the chemical sunscreen ingredients. It has no fragrances and is good for sensitive skin. Fallene has tinted this slightly, and put the minerals in a lighter base, so it doesn't make you look chalky. It's water resistant and won't sting your eyes.

Fallene - Lip CoTZ SPF 45

Fallene

Lip CoTZ SPF 45

$8.95

High quality, no frills zinc/titanium lip protection. You don't want sun-burned or wind-burned lips!

Estion - Sunscreen with Zinc SPF 38

Estion

Sunscreen with Zinc SPF 38

$13.95

Very affordable and very good UVA and UVB protection through the mineral blocker zinc oxide at 7.5% and UVB chemical sunscreens. Non-irritating for those with sensitive skin, and also does not make you look too chalky the way some zinc sunscreens do. Also very water resistant. An excellent value.

Solbar - Shield SPF 40

Solbar

Shield SPF 40

$11.95

A great value: 7.5% zinc oxide, no synthetic chemical sunscreen agents, unscented, hypoallergenic, very water resistant, and with some aloe and vitamin E. It is not too heavy and does not white you out the way some zinc and titanium suncreens do. Hard to go wrong with this product.
