Are there sun protector goggles with UVA and UVB protection?
I want to protect my eyes from the sun with goggles (a bit like the ones in sun tan salons) as sunglasses cover too much of the face and give too many white marks. But I want to know if there are any that have both UVa and UVB protection.
I always prefer the organic sun-tan lotion http://bit.ly/18ici4 It sells for $13, offers the most safest sun tan without the sun. Comes in an attractive bottle and actually works. I love it and use it daily for my sensitive skin.

UVA Reform: It’s Not PDQ
AS summer begins, Americans are buying up sunscreen, confident that applying it
diligently will protect them from the rays that can lead to skin cancer, sunburn
and wrinkles.
But depending on the product, they may be wrong. The SPF, or sun protection factor,
tells people how effective a sunscreen is at blocking ultraviolet B rays, the kind
that cause five-alarm sunburns. But there is no similar gauge for ultraviolet A
rays, which tans skin but also can cause cancer and wrinkles. More often than not,
product labels are of little help in this department.
There is good news and bad news on the ultraviolet A front. On the plus side, the
Food and Drug Administration is considering a set of guidelines for sunscreen that
would set up a four-star system for effectiveness against UVA rays. The rules would
also ban the use of misleading terms like “sunblock” and “all-day protection”
from labels.
The bad news: These rules were proposed three years ago, and the agency has yet to
take action. Critics of the F.D.A. have accused it of foot-dragging because of
pressure from sunscreen manufacturers.
In the absence of new rules, consumers are left with sunscreen regulations that
date back to the Carter administration — 1978 — when the science of sun
protection was far more primitive. The status quo leaves Americans with less-
effective sunscreens than Europeans, doctors and scientists say.
“In the States, we are selling an obsolete generation of sun protection,” said
Lionel De Benetti, the president of Clarins Laboratoires, a French cosmetics
company. In its European sunscreens, Clarins uses superior ingredients that are not
approved for use in the United States, he said, adding, “It’s a bit upsetting.”
To get state-of-the-art sun protection, some consumers seek out sunscreens from
Europe that use UVA filters that are not yet approved by the F.D.A. Yu-Chi Lyra
Kuo, a graduate student at Princeton University, took the trouble to do research
online and now uses European products.
“The sunscreens in North America tend to be very effective at blocking UVB rays,
but not UVA rays,” she said.
She had a colleague bring her back a Mustela spray from France that uses Tinosorb
M, an ingredient that protects against a broad range of UVA rays but is not
approved for use in American sunscreens. To replenish her supply, Ms. Kuo plans to
order from Tubotica.com. “Frankly, the shipping rates are high from Europe,” she
said. “I find it very inconvenient to order online.”
But she added, “I also covet the European ratings. I find a lot of American
sunscreen brands are not exactly directly misleading in their labels, but they have
labels that can be misconstrued.”
The F.D.A. is considering whether to approve Tinosorb M and other ingredients, but
that process is separate from the consideration of the 2007 proposal. Adoption of
the latter, the agency says, may be just around the corner. “We are targeting
publication of the final rule in October,” said Shelly Burgess, an F.D.A.
spokeswoman. If so, compliant products will be available at the earliest in the
summer of 2012.
The F.D.A. has a history of blowing such deadlines. It attributes delays to three
factors, the first of which is the amount of scientific homework on its plate. “We
have to investigate and evaluate new research and development beginning in the ‘
70s all the way to today,” said Matthew R. Holman, deputy director of the division
of the F.D.A. that regulates over-the-counter sunscreens.
Second, he said, the F.D.A. has received more than 3,000 comments on the proposals
— from citizens, advocacy groups and corporate America — and each one must be
investigated. “We weigh the information carefully,” Dr. Holman said.
And third, he said, there are more than 10 tests that gauge the efficacy of sun
products against UVA rays, and research on the subject “has been evolving since we
began this process.”
The elected officials and consumer watchdogs who have been holding the F.D.A.’s
feet to the fire are far from satisfied with these explanations. They say there is
enough scientific information for the F.D.A. to adopt new rules.
In 2007, at least four senators sent written requests to the F.D.A. asking for
comprehensive sunscreen labels. Several class-action lawsuits have been filed
against sunscreen manufacturers over false advertising.
In May, the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit advocacy group, released its
fourth annual report on sunscreens, concluding that only 8 percent of the 500
products it reviewed were “safe and effective.” Many products exaggerated their
sun protection powers, the group said.
The rules sitting in limbo at the F.D.A. would cap the maximum SPF that a product
could claim at “50+.” The rules would most likely also set up a four-star system
— one star for the lowest protection and four for the highest — to rate products
on their effectiveness against UVA rays.

What’s a good, super-light powder that has UVA/UVB protection?
I don’t like to wear foundation and sun block clogs my pores! Thanks.
any mineral based makeup usually has uv protection in it. There’s glominerals, but it’s pretty expensive.
