Does anyone know of a company or place where I can find a natural face cream with spf around 15 or so? I spent nearly an hour at a nearby drug store reading the labels of all these products with words like botanics and natural and green and organic all over it to find they are nothing more than chemicals with a drop of some naturally derived oil. So I'm really frustrated! Thanksss

No I don't.....Why not do a "Web Search"
I haven't used sunscreen once since I went raw. I used to burn then tan at the beginning of the summer. I haven't even almost burned in the last two summers -- even when I traveled from New England to Texas and spent a whole day out on a friend's boat when it was quite sunny...
You might find a more natural product out there, and you might find products being advertised as natural, but you won't find one that is truly natural and yet at the same time blocks the sun's rays and nourishment. Sunscreen blocks everything from the sun, including the Vitamin D that is required for healthy life.
Don't believe all you read about needing sunscreen. There is a whole industry that has financial benefits to rampant misinformation (search "Vitamin D deficiency cancer" and see what you come up with. Then think of the pharmaceutical industry that benefits from sickness and cancer. So sad.).
I usually say at the end "Just my opinion" to soften messages like this. But this one isn't just my opinion. There is tons of research to back this up.

You can make your own. Butters & oils have spf such as shea, cacao, olive oil, etc. High spf is found in raspberry oil, zinc oxide. For the face you can also use mineral makeup which often is waterproof too. A few on-line companies have sunscreen products like MSM lotion and Aubrey Organics is available in stores.
Sun Protection foods (burn+wrinkles): Dark green, leafy veg-spinach, kale, Blended Tomatoes, watermelon, red bell pepper, pink grapefruit, Apples, among others.

I agree! I won't use the stuff there is tons of info on sunscreen actually being a carcinogen when exposed to the SUN.
