All-physical sunscreen?

[dizzy_lizzy]

Just wondering, what is everyone's favorite sunscreen with no chemical filters? Preferably with at least 5% zinc oxide. Something cosmetically elegant w/ minimal white cast.

Oh and Asians--PA+++ would be best

. Non-US people, PPD of at least 8 would be good!

Thanks in advance

I use an SPF 27 sunscreen by Clinical Basic Skin Care, when I remember to use it that is! She also markets SPF 36.

I don't like chemical filters (well, my skin doesn't /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

All of the sunscreens I use have zinc or titanium in them (these are physical blockers) but they also have some chemical filters in them as well.

THere are a few out there but they're usually white and pasty...

Clinque has physical sunblock that doesn't react to my sensitive skin. SPF 15 and SPF 25 both works ok. I know they recently come up with SPF 40.
