Mike Panic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just saw this stuff: Coppertone SPORT® Lip Balm SPF 30 Sunscreen Anyone have real-world experience? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 No experience, but this is different than regular sunscreen how exactly? I do like that it is "portable" though because I've always had trouble lugging around tubes or bottles of sunscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Panic Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Looking at the specs compared to their other stuff - it has "moisturizing" additives. Biggest thing is that you keep re-applying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Flores Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 My wife use to use a similar product when she used to fake tan. She doesn't have that many tattoos so the stick works well to just protect tattoos. But thankfully she stopped fake tanning a couple years ago.

Colored Guy Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I use this Neutrogena 45 product I get at Target, 2 tubes for around $12. It works really well and stays on even in salt water. I will try the Coppertone product when I run out of the Neutrogena. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky15568 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The best sun screen i have found that works great with tattoos is: Age Shield™ Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 110. Age Shield This product doesn't let the skin I put it on burn at all, even if I stay all day in the sun. Id recommend it for tattoo lovers!

ironchef Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I have sensitive skin so I generally try to gravitate to something more mild. Also note that baby sunscreen generally is pretty mild with more natural ingredients and have high SPF ratings that block out UVA and UVB rays. I've done a bunch of personal research and there's concern among many circles (not just tattoo collectors) that certain chemicals in high SPF sunscreen may affect hormones after long term use.

ironchef Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I stopped by the local Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday while running errands. Saw the Coppertone Tattoo sunscreen and compared it to several different labeled sunscreens in the Coppertone line. Pretty much the same active ingredients at the same percentages. Just marketing and packaging changes. Mike Panic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacramentoDan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I stopped by the local Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday while running errands. Saw the Coppertone Tattoo sunscreen and compared it to several different labeled sunscreens in the Coppertone line. Pretty much the same active ingredients at the same percentages. Just marketing and packaging changes. I bought some of the Coppertone tattoo blend and did a little research on it. it is similar in chemical makeup to Coppertone "sensitive skin/faces" SPF50 sunscreen,it has Zinc Oxide,and it has no Oxybenzone,which makes it a little different & better for tattooed skin than most sunscreens. http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/oxybenzone-sunscreen-ingredient http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/10/what-to-look-for-in-a-sunscreen/ Mike Panic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
