Is 14% zinc oxide and 3% titanium dioxide in a mineral sunscreen enough broad spectrum for uva/uvb rays? i googled it and they said that only 20% zinc oxide and up truly protects but the sunscreen im looking is a spf 50 with the 14% and 3%?

The best way to find a good quality sunscreen is to go to your pharmacy and ask the pharmacist. Or you could look at a site like Amazon online and look at the reviews.
