Mixed Prints Life

May 30, 2012

Welcome to the third week of the green piece! If you are new here, the green piece is all about our family’s journey to making changes in our life that are greener and healthier!

As a pale mom to two pale boys, my biggest concern when summertime comes around is the sun! Whether it’s playing at the park or relaxing at the splash pad, I always want to make sure my boys are protected from head to toe and knowing that Jack will NEVER keep a hat on certainly doesn’t help!  Having to apply sunscreen so often and rubbing it directly into their skin, I began to get concerned about how many extra chemicals they’d be exposed to just because we were trying to protect them from the sun!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to review the line of Green Babies skincare products. One of those products was their new SPF 30 sunscreen! Made with natural ingredients, the unscented version is made with pomegranate seed oil and the lightly scented uses tangerine essential oil. According to Green Babies, the ingredients in each are as follows:

S.P.F. 30 Sunscreen

Unscented with pomegranate seed oil

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Zinc Oxide 20% INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Capric Caprylic Triglyceride, Sorbitan Stearate, Hydrogenated Methyl Abietate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Castor Oil, Magnesium Sulfate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Tocopherol, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil*, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide
*Certified organic ingredient

S.P.F. 30 Sunscreen

Sweetly Scented with tangerine essential oil

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Zinc Oxide 20% INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower) seed oil, Castor Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus grandis (Grapefruit) peel oil, Citrus medica limonum (Lemon) peel oil, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Hydrogenated Methyl Abietate, Magnesium Sulfate, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*,Sorbitan Stearate, Tocopherol, Vanilla planifolia, Water
*Certified organic ingredient

The sunscreen goes on easily and the scent is nice, but light and airy. I feel comfortable applying it (even multiple times in one outing) without worrying about my boys being bogged down by chemicals. You can purchase the sunscreen at your local Whole Foods market or through the Green Babies website. 
How do you keep your little ones protected from the sun?
