According to Wellnessmama.com (a great diy website) if you add a cup of any good quality cream to 2 tablespoons of zinc oxide and mix it up really well, you'll get spf 20. Add more zinc for higher spf, reduce for less. She also cautions that the cream must not contain any citrus oils. And I've heard from others thats true of all sunscreens. The zinc oxide has a USE BY date too, which for mine was about 2 years after I bought it. I am careful to mix the zinc oxide w the cream in the jar I keep the cream in. I read on some comments they had a hard time getting the powder off their bowls, so I just didn't go there.

I wouldn't get this for sunscreen. It is the micro zinc oxide. Meaning it is so fine it crosses over through your skin and is absorbed. Which makes it unsafe. The spf is in zinc oxide, but you are better off getting the "non-nano" kind which is the larger particles.

Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if this is the same product as seen in another listing, or if it has PA++ on it? If it helps, mine definitely has "SPF 15 | PA++" on the label.

Yes you can christyss ! I use equate SPF 30 a cheap walmart brand and it gives you the same brown natural looking effect. It's a gradual tan too but believe me you see results after an hour to two hours in the sun right away:) it's a good buy for sure and smells like coffee

It doesn't seem to. I have thrown out the package and none of the individual tubes say anything about having SPF

Yes its a high spf. I even wore it when i went to cancun and my face didnt even get burned. I put regular sunscreen on my body and i got burned on my shoulders and chest. So i was impressed with the sunscreen in this. Trust me it looks flawless on and i love how it goes with your skin color when you tan, so no more switching shades.

I don't have the sunscreen, I have the self tanner. That being said, the self tanner does not contain either. I dont know if that helps, sorry

I don't remember this product. I did note someone mentioned the product leaving their face somewhat white. If you are out in intense sun, you need a block that is more protective like this one. My favorite right now for everyday use is Eltamd UV Clear SPF 46.

None listed on bottle I wear Skin Ceuticsls sunscreen (broad spectrum) SPF 50 over it in summer and 30 SPF in winter.

It doesnt specify if it is for indoor tanning or both. I would imagine you could use it outside as well. There is no listed SPF either. I have used it outside and was fine. I dont normally burn though in the sun.

I just made some sunscreen on Thursday. And yet I have no idea if it's non nano. Is there a contact number on your "spicy world" product? You should investigate why it's not "natures oil".

johnp37 - you cannont find a better product. It is great. It is not greasy. It has a good sunscreen value. Really, I think it is the best you can buy for this type of application.

I mix it with coconut oil to make my own sunscreen. It seems to be fine enough to spread on the face, smooth and soft. One more thing I might add is the mixture I make looks whitish when on my darker skin color. It doesn't bother me because I want protection from the sun with a natural product.

No, there is not a sunscreen in this version. However, they do make one with a sunscreen in it. http://www.amazon.com/Olay-Total-Effects-Foundation-Medium/dp/B004WK834Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1362250924&sr=8-4&keywords=olay+foundation+spf
