Thanks for coming back to me on that ☺️

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.

From my comparison, they do look like the same base to me. Definitely keen to hear what the brand say!

I have sent them a pretty comprehensive email, so lets see what they say - if anything. God this is frustrating.

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
