Good! I'm always happy to have other people help me test out my theories.
So far, the only oil I know that has actually been tested for true SPF is Raspberry Seed Oil, at an SPF of between 28 and 50 depending on how much you use. Green Tea, aka Camellia Oil, is also currently being tested for SPF, and it's about the same. The other moisturizers I have that I am testing out are these:
The il Bella Dea Deep Moisture Cream (the second link) is quickly proving to be my favorite face cream. It contains all sorts of anti-aging ingredients: ingredients that will prevent collagen/elastin breakdown and that will encourage collagen growth -- which, basically, is what happens when the skin is damaged by UV rays. If you can keep collagen growth at an optimal rate, the skin is less likely to show signs of physical aging. Also, several of the ingredients have shown promise in helping the body fight free radicals and potential skin cancer causes -- especially Pau D'arco, which is in the Telbari Andrea Baby Lotion.
