Question 1

does this prevent tan?

Accepted Answer

No.  I was able to stay out in the sun and get a tan while not breaking out in a sun rash like I usually do.

Question 2

does this product contain any dyes for coloring?

Accepted Answer

According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety, titanium dioxide may be a human carcinogen. As explained on the CCOHS website: (http://www.ccohs.ca/headlines/text186.html)Titanium dioxide has recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen ''possibly carcinogen to humans''... This evidence showed that high concentrations of pigment-grade (powdered) and ultrafine titanium dioxide dust caused respiratory tract cancer in rats exposed by inhalation and intratracheal instillation*.CosmeticsDatabase.com lists titanium dioxide as being linked to cancer, allergies, immunotoxicity and organ system toxicity, among other problems. (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ingredient....) Here's a list of some of the many thousands of cosmetic products containing titanium dioxide: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/browse.php?...That list, by the way, includes products from many well-known brands.Titanium dioxide is considered extremely unsafe by Vitacost, which banned the ingredient from its in-house supplements label (NSI). Soon, products from Vitacost (www.Vitacost.com) may even be labeled with a "titanium dioxide free" claim to better educate consumers.

Question 3

What are the differences between Heliocare and Sunsafe Rx: another capsule that protects skin from the sun?

Accepted Answer

The PLE extract in Heliocare has been extensively tested by leading American and international dermatologists. Heliocare's extract is proprietary and has been studied for over 25 years. It is unknown if clinical studies have been performed on Sunsafe Rx's version of PLE.

Question 4

why are you so much higher than many other places?

Accepted Answer

I don't know what the price was when you posted your question, but the current price on Amazon of $22 is cheaper than all but one site that I checked. Many were significantly more. Walgreens.com does seem to have a better sale price right now, but then you still have to consider shipping. I'm an Amazon Prime subscriber, so I don't pay anything for 2 day shipping. Please let me know where you've found a better price because I'd be glad to find it cheaper.
