Spin-off Shop Canadian: Where to Buy X in Canada? - Page 4

Where can I get a good sunscreen? I've heard good things about California Baby but I haven't been able to find it in Canada. Any other brands recommended?

ETA: Oh and this is for my 7 month old dd, so I'm not really that keen on plain ole' Coppertone

i'm looking for ideas for online ordering for any pantry food items, ie baking supplies, health food store type foods, anything really in the food department. i tend to make alot of things from scratch.

i am living fairly isolated, and want to order more things online rather than go way out of town to grocery shop. i'm on vancouver island. any ideas/links?

I would look here for the Environmental Working Groups easy to download pdf on safe sunscreens. http://www.ewg.org/Consumer-Guides

Good luck!

I ordered UV Naturals - which is well-rated on the environmental working group page - from a shop in Toronto last year. i will see if i can find the shop name for you. (eta - here.)
i just heard of a canadian made brand that works the same way as uv naturals - sits on surface rather than absorbing (with zinc oxide but not visible the way typical zinc oxide creams are) - "newco natural technologies" - not rated on ewg yet. not sure where to buy online, try googling it.
eta here's newco

I've used Newco.
It's not as well rated at UV Natural, and even better still is Badger. Badger can be found all over the place...just do an Internet search or check your local health food store.

Where did you see ratings for Newco?
