My Safe & Natural Sunscreen Choices

Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links.

It’s that time of year…No, not referring to the *beautiful* yellow dusting of pollen & profuse sneezing and wheezing…I mean it’s the time of year when moms start saying, “Did you put sunscreen on him?” “Can I borrow your sunscreen?” “How old are babies when they need sunblock?” Etc. etc. etc.

Unfortunately, sunscreens are notorious for being full of J.U.N.K. that none of us need in our bodies.

I use the very helpful site EWG’s Skin Deep Database to look up skincare products to see how horrible (or not) they are for our bodies. They give each product a rating (0-10) of how safe it is. I used this for sunscreens, and I came up with a list of some I’d recommend.

Here is the criteria I used to select the sunscreens I’ll use:

• Safe, according to the EWG website. (No score of 2 or higher.)
• Relatively cheap (because there is liquid gold sunscreen that you’d use up in three applications, but who needs that?!?)
• Easy to get (free shipping, Vitacost, Amazon, etc.)

Here are my sunscreen recommendations:

Lotions:

Kiss My Face Sunscreen with Hydresia

BabyGanics Cover Up Baby Sunscreen for Face & Body, Fragrance Free

All-Terrain Aquasport Sunscreen

Badger Sunscreen

Sprays:

All-Terrain Aquasport SPRAY

Kiss My Face Spray Lotion

Stick:

All Terrain Stick

Babyganics Stick
