Is the SPF from zinc? On Amazon's website it lists the SPF's as oxybenzone, octisalate, & octinoxate - chemical SPF's that are dangerous.

If you look it up in the EWG (Environmental Working Group) database, this product has a rating of 2 (out of 10, with 1 being the safest). Generally speaking products with a 1-2 rating are considered very safe, but there are 1-rated products out there. For specific product information, here's the EWG listing: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/592493/Andalou_Naturals_Daily_Defense_Facial_Lotion%2C_SPF_18/#.WXEprIQrK00

Would you recommend it for men?

Yes I would recommend Andalou for men. Most of them have dryer skin than women so they need all the help they can get.

is this product tested on animals?

NO. It's Vegan and Animal cruelty FREE. Gluten Free, Certified Organic, and my favorite Non GMO. I hope that answer your questions. You're going to love it, trust me. I'm being using this products for years.

I have normal skin. i bought the daily defense spf 18 and spf 30 serum, and didn't read that it's for dry/very dry skin. will it be fine for me?

I have used the SPF 18 Daily Defense for years, and I have normal skin; l think it’s perfect - not too heavy or greasy. I love it. I haven’t used the SPF 30 serum, so I can’t speak to that.
