Sunscreen
#21
Obie - So thanks to HOTPE I'm going to try Biore sunscreen .
Good luck Obie - going to end up like HOTPE and dying after you use it (although you may die before using it, and will certainly die if you don't use it - such is the nature of things. But in using it, you'll at least be less likely to die from the DNA damage caused by radiation being spewed from the uncontrolled nuclear fusion going on overhead ;)

Tang - Thanks to Edge I found a Biore potion with a Cat's paw motif,
Fun find - not a bemotrizinol sunscreen, but rather a mineral formulation (ingredients here) that gets applied as paw prints before being rubbed in. Kawaii desu ne? ₍^. .^₎⟆

Kodomoyō no kagaku busshitsu wa ii desu. (Roughly - "Chemical substances for children are good" or "It is fine for children to be exposed to chemical substances")
Some, yes. For instance, phylloquinone and menaquinone are Vitamin K compounds that prevent severe bleeding and death in newborns. Meanwhile, quinolizidine alkaloids like mamanine and pohakuline are all organic, natural, and fit Olohana's requirements of being "endemic/indigenous chit", but are fatal to kids and most animals outside of the Palila bird and some caterpillers, which consumes them in the seeds of the local Māmane trees.

Chemicals - can't live with some, can't live without others! (Kagaku wa fukuzatsuda desu ne? Gambatte!)

So my Biore showed up last night.
I'm going to miss the Amazon Delivery here on the mainland. I ordered it on Friday evening and it was delivered in one day by an Amazon driver,
at 8:45 PM, something that would have lit up the coconut wireless in Hawaii.

I should have read Amazon's description better because this version of Biore doesn't include bemotrizinol.
I will still try it but I doubt it will work well for me. I sweat when I do yard work but the directions for use on the back panel tells you to use a waterproof sunscreen if you are sweating or swimming.

Picture of the back panel included.

Oof, that's quite a list of, ahem, natural ingredients there Obster.  

If everyone in HPP slathers that on and then goes out and sweats that off in the yard and then showers and excretes the rest off into their cesspools and septic fields, is it reasonable to wonder how much of that stuff ends up in the water table and/or ocean?  

Hopefully a good RO system pulls that all out of the well water you drink but then the filter goes to the landfill and that leaches forever.

I guess our great grand kids will figure it out.  Main thing is to protect yourself from the sun - here, now.

Better living through chemistry.

I'd be far more concerned about the runoff from the hundreds of overgrown lots in HPP (and all other substandard subdivisions) that harbor junk vehicles, used appliances and all sorts or other items that more or less rival the now closed Hilo dump on a miniature scale than any possible run off of sunscreen into wells and/or the ocean.

But, yeah, that's not on the Power Point Slide Deck of talking points.
