    In northern Canada actually! You can buy it anywhere in Cancun though, it is a little pricey, but not gonna break the bank or anything.

    You should be able to get it at any walmart or pharmacy!

    We bought Hawaiian Tropic stuff, but it isn't available in the US.

    Hey fellow Minnesotan, Pretty sure my wife bought it at Target or Walmart here in Red Wing. Have fun, had enough winter yet this year?

    Just so everyone is aware... the only two biodegradable sun filters are titanium dioxide and zinc. Most suncare companies will list one of these two at the end of the active ingredients, but they also contain chemicals and then slap a label that states it's biodegradable..and it isn't. They are not monitored by the FDA so they can get away with whatever. Even adding a carcinogen like oxybenzone.

    Since ToriB never said it, You can always buy it from her! I wish I went to talk to her when we were at TTR so I didn't turn into a Lobster on our last day.

    I did see her and it was my own fault I didn't go talk to her! Next time I definitely will. When she sees how white I am she will probably just just tell me to leave my shirt on!

    You don't want to look like this, so make sure you get good quality sunscreen!

    I have been back for a full month and still have remnants of this burn!

    Thanks Labrador. I wanted to be modest this time around. FYI...I voted for YOU, even if you didn't come see me. Tisk! Tisk! I have seen people who are basically transparent and they got color. You will know better for next time. I am trying to think when this year we stared giving Miss Temp some products as a prize, but you should have gotten a spf15 and the aloe lotion. Shame on Victor

    Sherry definitely didn't get any of your product! I wish we did though, I actually saw you on the pool deck the day after I got my burn, but was in too much pain to come see ya, and was covered up in a towel, waiting to check out...lol
