They have some sunblocks, but the clothing is quite good, too. Mom used it when she was on doxy.

Hi Doc
Google-- Photo Toxic--
I had it Super bad --the light from my computer monitor burned my skin-
I could not go out side at all-- Felt like I was being Microwaved on High--
I used to have real nice skin --Ouch-
ANY amount of Citrus or Cranberries will cause this effect-one TSP-- Orange soda --lemon in tea--
Even 3 drops of Grapefruit seed extract- caused me to burn--
It took several month after I quit eating citrus for the bad light effect to go away--
Damage from the burns is perty much perminiate --Ouch--
Now light dose not bother me at all --
Blue Lizzard Sun Block is supposed to help- I have not used it tho -- Its from Down Under --
Also ware Dark clothing it helps--
I know your pain--Jay--

In addition to Sun Grubbies, there's a good catalog and website (and a couple of stores) by Sun Precautions. You can find them at www.sunprecautions.com.
While on Doxy, sunblock just didn't help me enough. I had to buy the SPF clothing from Sun Precautions - everything from long-sleeved shirt to hat to gloves.
Remember to protect your hands while driving - I got burned terribly on my knuckles from driving just from the sun through the window.
I do use the Blue Lizard sunblock now just for my everyday sunblock, but had used some other brands while on Doxy and still burned.
