I'm really confused about suncreens. I saw the list of top picks, but the very top one - Keys - had nano zinc. isn't that a big no no? I'm confused. It gets rave reviews otehrwise, but how important is the nao zinc?
I want one that's not too thick to apply and not too white or too fragrant. Is there another top pick you'd recommend?

I would recommend Sante Naturkosmetik; it is a German product, certified organic and it does not have chemicals. I am using the spray and is not too thick; it works great on us. I have also used Jason - the mineral based, chemical free formula and I liked it too, but it was too thick and kind of hard to apply.
