I looked up different brands of sunscreen and was thinking that others could be interested. The brands are the most common (they were high up on the top list for a couple of different pharmacies) in Sweden, it might be different brands in other countries. Unfortunately I couldn't see where any of the sunscreen is produced when I search for the brands online.

The sunscreen from Apoteket is produced in Sweden and the one from Hjärtat is produced in Denmark according to the packaging.

I think I'll start using Änglamark (semi-store brand in the Nordics) this summer, they should be safe for aquatic life too. (Don't know if swimproof, but for the fishies and all - that's bigger concern for me)

// EDIT; I finally bought this and this is the first sunlotion that doesn't have the icky-suncreen-smell!! I have gotten multiple recommendations in the past years for non-smelling ones and those have always smelled the same.. Finally!
