I use aloe vera
There's quite the variety of aloe hereabouts. I have found one that has a clear juice, with little to no odor, that really takes the edge off when my skin feels a little too 'hot' from a day under the sun.
Mind, as I said earlier.. a hat is essential. I got one of those with a cloth extension that drapes down over my neck and shoulders.. and don't go anywhere without it.
I suppose I am fortunate. I have a friend that is predisposed to Melanoma that can't stand the sun.. whereas I am not. I count my blessings. And omg I love the sun!
I will point out.. we.. humans.. have been here for eons.. and sunscreen is one of those new fangled inventions that's.. as Edge points out.. on a long list of new compounds we're all exposed to. But god knows, exposure in an of itself doesn't imply safe.. or healthy. Maybe all that isn't the best way to go.. maybe a lot of what ales us.. what ales our planet.. mother.. is on that list.
