Question 1

What's the difference between ThinkBaby and ThinkSport?

Accepted Answer

The ingredient lists are exactly the same except for the last ones - ThinkBaby has papaya and ThinkSport has currant and citrus paradisi (grapefruit). I have used ThinkBaby which has a papaya scent so I would assume the difference is ThinkSport has a currant/grapefruit scent.

Question 2

Does this work well on adults? I have been reading some reviews and noticed that its common to expect tanning. Can I get some experiences and opinions on this? Does this work well while swimming or sweating?

Accepted Answer

I use it on a regular basis.  I work outdoors and generally find reapplying every 4 hours works for me.  This seems to hold up well to sweat, in my opinion; I have never been swimming while wearing it.  As for the tanning, I haven't encountered that issue by applying it relatively generously (about the amount that one would use when apply a moisturizing lotion - turns me nice and white and takes a bit of working in to the skin... then the white fades).  It's my favorite 'healthy' sunscreen - the consistency is so much nicer than a lot of the others!

Question 3

Why is there a bpa warning on this sunscreen? Does it contain bpa?

Accepted Answer

I looked at the image and I see the warning that says keep away from heat and sunlight. I always assumed those kind of warnings were  about the actual product degrading, not that there was a BPA /BPS issue.

I am aware of those issues though but I guess I was naive and didn't even think about considering them while looking for safe mineral sunscreens( which is already been an exhaustive chore). I appreciate both of you bringing this to my attention and I hope Thinksport actually addresses this soon.

Honestly I'm just getting more and more frustrated trying to find a safe,mineral, vegan sunscreen. I didn't find any last year and the year before I found one but it had artificial fragrance and I ended up not using it because I couldn't take the scent. :(

Question 4

Is thinkbaby sunscreen hypoallergenic?

Accepted Answer

Hi.  The CEO of thinkbaby wrote an article o sunscreens.  Here is an excerpt which talks about hypo-allergenic.Safe SunscreenJust google searching chemical sunscreen and you'll find a raging debate on ingredient safety and efficacy. We all like to think that chemicals that we interact with on a daily basis are regulated by some aspect of the government. But, the reality is that the cosmetic and chemical industries are highly unregulated. There are 80,000 chemicals in commerce today and only 5 have been removed from use over the last 30 years... Yes if that seems ridiculous, you are correct.There are two types of sunscreens on the market. The first is chemical sunscreen. They work by taking the UV light and try to convert the light into something less harmful. The downside is that they not only generate free radicals, but the chemicals themselves are highly questionable. Luckily there is a database that provides unbelievable support in locating information relating to these ingredients. The database was put together by the Environmental Working Group and its called Skin Deep. The database currently has over 1500 sunscreens entered, but even if you don't find your formula, you can easily put each individual ingredient in to see its safety rating. The second types of sunscreens are mineral based solutions. You'll either see Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as the active ingredient. Mineral sunscreens work by reflecting the UV light. Keep in mind it's important to understand what is in the inactive ingredient list. It is easy for harmful chemicals to make their way into that list as well. So solely focusing on the active ingredients will only provide you part of the safety story.Chemical sunscreens make up the majority of the market unfortunately. They are both cheap and apply clear. Mineral based solutions can cause some amount of whitening during use and are also more expensive. But at what cost is it cheaper. Some mineral base formulations have also taken to using clear zinc or nano particle sized zinc or titanium. We recommend sourcing a non-nano zinc oxide solution. There is just not enough data on the ability for nano particles getting into the blood stream. As such, it is better to embrace the Precautionary principle.No brand of sunscreen can market to children less than 6 months of age. You should consult with your doctor before applying any sunscreen. Our suggestion would be to ask them about skin patch testing and also bring the ingredients deck. Incidence of allergic responses has skyrocketed over the last two decades. Any sunscreen that is marketing itself as "hypo-allergenic" is engaged in false marketing. There are plenty of natural ingredients (like nuts) that children are allergic too. There is just no way of guarantying allergic response.
