Comments on David K.'s review of Green Tea SPF 30 plus Sunscreen
Green Tea SPF 30 plus Sunscreen
Description: Sunscreen, with certified organic aloe vera.
Gentle on animals - not so gentle on you!
Honestly, I've never even used this product, but I'm glad after reading this: http://tinyurl.com/2lca4p
The Environmental Working Group conducted a study of sunblocks measuring their effectiveness and toxicity, and this sunblock didn't fare so well: it's effective and not tested on animals, but it contains high levels of neurotoxins and immunotoxins. But for the animal testing - you're even better off using some Coppertone products!
Here's the list of the best ones: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/browse.php?sunscreens=1&best=1

This is a lousy prejudiced review. It never names the Toxins and is quick to reccommend other products

Good review, David K. I often forget to check the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep tool. (For folks wanting more info, the page he links to provides quite a bit of detail - it names the problematic ingredients contained in the product, and those ingredients, in turn, link to pages detailing why one might want to avoid products containing them.)
Charles L. says:
Links need to be clickable not where I have to type the whole thing out also if he named just one toxin Ie. sodium Lauryl sulfite etc I would have known immediately.Theres not enough time in the day... Clickable links please
David K. says:
"lousy prejudiced review" is a bit strong Charles. So I didn't list the exact names of the toxins - I'm no chemist and the links are there as an invitation to make your own investigation. As for "clickable links," not really within my control - talk to SustainLane about that. One could use equally harsh language to describe your unwillingness to cut and paste.
