My darling husband reminded me yesterday that I went through this same panic years ago and purchased a large pump dispenser of Dr. T's Supergoop! He still had some of the individual sized bottles in his golf bag. Yes, I suppose I do still have that large pump in my bathroom. Why had this slipped my mind? Why had I again started buying sunscreen at the grocery store checkout line? I blame these lapses on childbearing. My mind truly has never been the same.
So, I dusted off the bottle of Supergoop and looked at the ingredients afresh, now armed with my up-to-date knowledge of toxic chemicals and stability issues. At first blush I was pleased. I then plugged it into the EWG's sunscreen rating system and noted it received an acceptable rating of 3. Other sunscreens, however, receive a better rating. I mentioned Badger in yesterday's post. It seems to receive the best rating -- 1.
Of course, I want to purchase the "best" for my family, but the Badger sunscreen only comes in 2.9 ounce tubes as far as I can tell. Properly slathering my entire family for a day at the beach would likely consume an entire 2.9 ounce tube.

So once again life has once again brought me full circle. I have restocked the exact same sunscreen I purchased two years ago. In 2012 when I begin this rant again, would someone be so kind to remind me I am again running in circles?!
