Thank you Vlad for the in depth information. Saves me great time from researching this myself. Great job!

Went to the store the other day and saw a bunch of SPF 50+ for half off. Needless to say a I stocked up on a few of them.

Thanks, for the reminder.

Check teh expiration dates. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've read that sun screen loses its effectivity -- it "expires" -- over some months.

Figured with summer coming quick that this should be bumped back up for review! Important info to know.
