Pale is the New Tan?

Okay- that's going a bit far but I'd like to believe that. Regardless, as mentioned before I am embracing my inner albino this year and attempting to show my skin sans skin damage. I usually hate sunscreen because I find that the real stuff makes my face extra "see-your-own-reflection" shiny and my body feel as though it's been covered in a thin layer of paraffin wax. Nasty... but necessary- until I read about THIS:
SUPERGOOP! 

Agreed, sounds just as gross as my description above however this stuff actually sounds pretty good.

I love this sunscreen. Bought it on a trip to Parrot Cay last summer. The lotion makes my skin so soft and is not chock full of harmful ingredients like so many suncare products are. It is also very lightweight and doesn't feel like most sunscreens.
