Anyone know of stockists (pref in NSW)?

I'm nearly out of my tube of clear gel SPF30 and it's really the only stuff that seems impervious to salt water. In fact, it needs a good scrub in the shower to remove completely

Give Ella Bache Sports Bloc 30+, "this formula does not sting eyes"..

Its exy, but well worth, after spending years as a surf coach i would pay triple to get it.

WOW,,chicks with silicon boobs beware

Cheers for the feedback- I'll keep an eye out for those other brands too.

I'm just sold on the clear gel format of the Island Tribe stuff- no mess, no freaky "warpaint", look (not that it matters), and it sticks like shoite to a blanket

Kinda feels a bit like smearing high SPF honey over yer face LOL!

I thought this sounded familiar, I keep walking into the stand at work You can order it from us or the sydney kitepower

Available at Kitepower, best sun screen.

Excellent- I'll pop in next time I'm @ BB

SolRX is the best i've tried & its made in Australia

my mate used some sunscreen called bushman or something and it melted his sunnys even said on the tube not to put on plastic so hardcore shizz

Bushman has DEET (insect repellant in it) and that is what melts plastic - used to use it in the army and it melts all the markings off a Silva compass and watches...

Rowdy - nano zinc does not seem to be a problem it's the sunscreen with nano titanium in them that is more of a risk. Invisible Zinc is also nano free.

But here is a link to a list of nano free sunscreens:

Well this dude only just finished the research, so I'm just telling you what he told me. To be honest I got no idea, I'm no Dr., but to much of anything that can absorb into your body due to it's nano size doesn't sound like a good thing.
He told me to stay clear of the stuff, so I'm going to go with his advice haha.

sir Rowdy is right
Apparently it has been written up somewhere in an industry based medical publication already.
I reckon the 7:30 report will be right onto this incredible breakthrough...... some time next decade.

WOWSER, Ive been using Keysun Clear Zinke for a year or so now - thought it was the bomb!!

Now why the fek do The Cancer Council Australia produce "Clear Zinc"???

You can produce clear zinc without using nanoparticles. I use Invisible Zinc - it is on the safe list as far as nanoparticles are concerned.

"Human safety review of "nano" titanium dioxide and zinc oxide"
PHOTOCHEMICAL & PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SCIENCES; 2010, 9 4, p495-p509

ABSTRACT
Based on the current weight of evidence of all available data, the risk for humans from the use of nano-structured titanium dioxide (TiO2) or zinc oxide (ZnO) currently used in cosmetic preparations or sunscreens is considered negligible. There is a large body of information that when viewed in its entirety is considered as sufficient to demonstrate that these nano-structured ultraviolet (UV) filters, irrespective of various treatments (coatings) or crystalline structure, can be regarded as safe for use at concentrations up to 25% in cosmetic products to protect the skin from harmful effects of solar UV radiation. "Nano" TiO2 and ZnO formulated in topically applied sunscreen products exist as aggregates of primary particles ranging from 30-150 nm in size. These aggregates are bonded such that the force of sunscreen product application onto the skin would have no impact on their structure or result in the release of primary particles. Multiple studies have shown that under exaggerated test conditions neither nano-structured TiO2 nor ZnO penetrates beyond the stratum corneum of skin. Further, the distribution and persistence of these nano-structured metal oxides is the same compared to larger pigment-grade (i.e., > 100 nm) particles, demonstrating equivalence in the recognition and elimination of such material from the body. Finally, the in vitro genotoxic and photogenotoxic profiles of these nano-structured metal oxides are of no consequence to human health. Whereas the most logical, straightforward conclusion based on data from internationally-recognized guideline studies and current 20+ year history of human use is that nano-structured TiO2 and ZnO are safe, there will continue to be questions as "nano" conjures images of technology gone awry. Despite this rather sober view, the public health benefits of sunscreens containing nano TiO2 and/or ZnO outweigh human safety concerns for these UV filters.

nanoparticles?....We are kiters not brain surgeons....

WTF is a nano parti what?

My brain just melted....

see yas at Mambo..... I'll be the one on the beach watching for wind.....oh, we'll all be doing that!
