Cancer Council rates reasonably well (being considered by Board for bulk supply).
UV Natural (suggested by Leah and considered by Board) rates lowly - suspected of containing nanoparticles.
Avado (previously suggested by Karen, see furthest below) is also suspected of containing nanoparticles.
Am still awaiting reply from/about Surfyogis (suggested by Tim) which is not mentioned in the FoE Guide. Surfyogis website says they're probably "surfing or doing yoga"!

Going through some old Co-op Board e-mails I found a reference to another sunscreen which looks worthy of your/Board's consideration. It also rates most highly on the Friends of the Earth "Safe Sunscreen Guide" as previously mentioned below.
It is called Soleo and details for it can be found at:
It might be a bit expensive, I don't know, but can see they also offer an "eco"nomical version.
Regards, Pete.
P.S. To clear up any possible misinterpretation (by others) of your message below - Zinc Oxide is usually a beneficial sunscreen ingredient, but potentially dangerous when included as a manufactured nanoparticle.

on Soleo... yes it's a lovely product, quite thick, i'm using it now.
Quite right that it's pricey which is why my next purchase will be Wot Not. it rates just as highly on the list for chemicals and nano particles but the company is also rated to have been forthcoming with evidence for their claims for the purposes of the list in question, whereas Soleo was not.

The local supplier is in Brookvale and has stock available so its just a matter of setting up an account. Their name is Eco Direct and they also distribute a brand of stainless drink bottles.
