don't shoot the messenger
I did not promote Heliocare as being used by itself, just stated its SPF equivalency. Of course, you need to use it with a broad-spectrum sunblock.
Aspirin is a photosensitizer and should be taken only after too much sun exposure, not before-hand. Its anti-oxidant effect is minimal. I have seen many people with horrible sunburns from taking preemptive NSAID's.
Dr. Hauschka products are not too good. The Neutrogena products are much better and cost less.
Again, if you want accurate information on UV protection, seek the advice of a dermatologist; not health food store nuts.
BTW, if skunkape is a doctor and not a dermatologist; he/she knows very little about the skin. The average physician has 2 days in 4 years worth of medical school curriculum on dermatology and maybe only 5 minutes of that is on UV protection.
Be careful applying crushed aspirin to the skin, if applied at high concentrations it could lead to chemical burns. It is an acid after all. The 2% neutragena wash is both safe and effective.
The only vitamin the sun helps create is vitamin D; which requires very brief exposures in the FL sun OR you can get it from both milk and multivitamins.

The product I used is about 65%-70% organic, from what I can tell just eyeballing it. I know nothing about that product y'all are talking about, except what y'all have said. Like I said in another thread, I am not great at pill popping, so adding another one to forget is just a waste of money for me.
