It depends on where you live, how much time you're really spending in the sun, your skin type, etc. In dermatology they say you need full spectrum, SPF 30 every day. However, that can be hard to tolerate, and if your exposure is really short, you don't have a history of skin cancer, etc, then you can get away with more. If using a product without UVAII coverage means you're much more likely to wear the product, then it is a better daily choice than the full spectrum product that you don't want to wear because it feels too heavy.

And yeah, they're right. If there's no UVAII coverage, it can still technically meet the FDA guidelines for sunscreen labels. More info on that here:

Do you know where those rays come from? Are they the ones filtered through glass windows? Would this moisturizer be enough on an average day in and out of stores and to the car? Obviously it wouldn't work for full sun exposure like a trip to the zoo or something. I've tried talking to them to ask if another product of there's has real full broad spectrum coverage, but they basically shot me down and said it is broad spectrum as per the FDA regulations and they pretended to ignore my talk about the lack of UVA 2 coverage as if it doesn't matter.

I wrote you a post!

I'll look around and let you know here if I find anything, we're going on vacation in a few weeks and I need a replacement!

The UVAII protection is often lacking. What are you using?

The physical sunscreens definitely seem to sit on the surface of the hair a bit more. My favorite for not really feeling the sunscreen is Neutrogena's Dry Touch.

I know we make a lot of these mistakes. But, my biggest question. Are there any out there that don't leave you feeling slimy and greasy? I can't stand the feel of sunscreen on my skin and neither can my kids. Preferably one that doesn't cost a small fortune?
