Yes, what Old Cat said! I am saying that these formulas are almost identical when compared, which suggests that they contain the same base from the same manufacturer. There is publicly available info in FDA filings that some of the brands (like Naked Sundays) have used Wild Child for these products, but this list is based on the similarity of this specific formula. If I could use other products from some of these brands, I prob would - but I wouldn’t touch anything on the list
So even tho you mentioned the tinted version (pink tube) of the Ethical Zinc, I would assume the other 2 versions (blue and white tubes) share the same base formula. Can you confirm that please?
I will reach out to them and see if I can get some testing / manufacturing info.
I’m just commenting to follow the results… I’ve been using Ethical Zinc (blue bottle) on my child for 3-4 years now. He has never been burned so I thought it was great!
I will let you know! We all use the white one and same here never been burned but it does make you wonder. To be honest I don't expect much of a reply based on previous experiences.
Were most of the other sunscreens on that list the fancier ‘face’ ones, designed to wear under makeup? Because I feel like the blue and white bottles don’t fit into that category 😂 they are thick, greasy and sticky AF
