    The document lists common mineral sunblocks and sunscreens and whether they contain nanoparticles. Most of the brands listed, such as Banana Boat Kids and Blue Lizard, contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide nanoparticles. However, some brands like Lavera Sunblock and Jason's Chemical-Free Sunblock do not contain nanoparticles.
