Sunscreen for bicycling
Does anybody have suggestions for sunscreen to wear while bicycling?
I've been using a stock of TopCare SPF30, but it's running out and I don't particularly like the odor and texture of the stuff. Something non-greasy, so it won't crud up clothes, and easily washed off after a ride would be desirable. It only needs to last a couple hours. Thanks for reading, and any ideas. bob prohaska |

It is just a basic sun protection without all the fancy packaging and special ingredients that other brands seem to have, and cheaper too :-) It is marked "Non-sticky and Water Resistant" and although it does seem sort of greasy when applied I've never had it "crud up clothes" and it certainly washes off when I take my after ride shower. Note: I think the price may vary depending upon where you buy it as I see a 200 ml. bottle for sale on Amazon for $21.20 (shipped from England) and I certainly do not pay any such price here in Bangkok. |

I find the sleeves surprisingly cool on hot humid days. Cheers |

No recommendation to brand, but do you really need to wear so much of it. Here in Australia, max I ever applied was nose, tips of ears and in summer; behind the knees. If you're riding regularly into spring, your skin just tans slightly over time with out the burn of a rare sunny day. The only person I met for who this wasn't sufficent was albine(not PC), wh wore long cottons for 3 seasons ans stayed indoor for Summer. |

I suspect it depends largely on what part of Australia you are living in and what you have been doing. I have a good friend from W.A. who has lived a largely outdoor life either sheep station, mining business, etc. and his level of skin damage is fairly extensive over forearms, ears, neck, etc. |

It is not only about preventing a sun burn but also to prevent skin cancer. Lou |

The Thailand market's ingredients: Aqua, Homosalate, Octocrylene, Alcohol Denat., Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Sodium Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonate, Glycerin, Tapioca Starch, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Dimethicone, Methylparaben, Sodium Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Trisodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Acetate, Menthol, Sodium Chloride, Parfum Would I like fries with that? Yes, in fact, just the fries, Aqua, Sodium Chloride, and Menthol. And a regular heteronormative salad, please. I'm not allergic to everything yet, so no Octocrylene, please. Now where's my hat and my non-tapioca starched shirt? |

Now where's my hat and my non-tapioca starched shirt? Well, you could try "mud", i.e., dirt and water. Cheap, easily obtained, and not very effective :-) By the way, the "Octocryne" you mention is described as "Octocrylene is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. The extended conjugation of the acrylate portion of the molecule absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA (ultraviolet) rays with wavelengths from 280 to 320 nm,[1] protecting the skin from direct DNA damage. The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties." So a "Sun Cream" without Octocryne would have no UVB or IVA protection. Would you still market it as "Sun Cream"? |

It is not only about preventing a sun burn but also to prevent skin cancer. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKCN10F2ID That article seems to be more of an explanation as to why statistical evidence of the effectiveness of sun creams doesn't exist. In part: "Reuters Health) - There isn't much evidence to conclusively prove that daily sunscreen use can prevent most skin cancers, a research review concludes. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't use sunscreen, doctors say. It just means it's unethical to do experiments testing the effectiveness of sunscreen by randomly assigning some people to use it and others to skip it. |
