Plus at the moment, most of the information are controlled/released mostly by L'oreal. I think the best approach is to write to the company to check. I haven’t come across anything unsafe about them.

I noticed in an earlier comment you mentioned not having heard anything unsafe about mexoryl sunscreens and mineral makeup. Why is it more safe? Do you know where I could find more information?

I am so glad I ran into this article even though I wish it was a lot sooner. Until now I have been using the combination of Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunscreen w/ Helioplex which contains avobenzone along with my Joppa minerals makeup which contains non-micronized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. No wonder I have not seen much effect with this sunscreen! It makes me sad that I've been using this combination for years! It's time to switch up~ Thanks for such great information! This is my new favorite blog =) <font color="#990033"><strong>Stefani</strong>: You're welcome! Come back often! :)</font> Wow!

I am so glad I came accross your article. Still I am not sure whether it is the combination of Neutrogena SPF 80 with Clinique foundation (Superbalanced Make Up and Superfit Make Up) or the combination of Neutrogena SPF 80 with Bioque products or a combination of all three. Can you shed any light on this? I know nothing about chemicals. It would be much appreciated. <font color="#990033"><strong>Rita</strong>: Based on some of my readings, it has been said that sometimes using sunscreens with high SPF may actually break us up due to the amount of ingredients or types of ingredients used. I have not found what ingredients Neutrogena SPF80 uses but the SPF is unusually high. Actually SPF30 is good enough or if you feel insecure, then use SPF50 at the maximum. The key is frequent application. Rita</font> Hi,
