??? about waterproof environmentally safe sunscreen...

[MommaluvsDis]

I was given a quote of $15 for a 4 oz bottle. Is this a good price or has anyone found a better deal anywhere?

In the little cabana by the Swan/Dolphin pools there is a guy there that sells 100% natural tanning oil. I think it is called black pearl. 26.00 for 8 ozs.

No sunscreen containing oil and othewise is "environmentally safe" if what you are seeking is a sunscreen that the natives will let you apply when snorkeling around their coral.

For that, I suggest treating long-sleeve T-shirts and other clothing with RIT Sunguard, which is a wash-in sunscreen that will make the T-shirts SPF 30. Here is a link for more info:

We use a sunscreen called "Ocean Potion" (Made in Cocoa Florida) that is oil and PABA free. The website is:

We began to use after a demotologist recomendation (it doesn't burn (chemical, that is) sensitive faces)

Walmart and Target near the port should carry it, and it costs about the same (or less) than other mass-market sunscreen.
