 "Green" Sunscreen

Summer is here – time to break out the eco-friendly sunscreen!
 
Here are some ways to protect your little one’s sweet skin. (Remember, it’s best to keep babies under six months 
out of the sun altogether.)

Doctor T's Supergoop

Sunscreen

With an SPF of 30, this organic sunscreen goes on like a dream – weightless and non-sticky. Hypoallergenic and oil free, it includes antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E. There’s also no artificial colors, no unnecessary chemical additives, and no animal testing. That’s some “green” goop!

California Baby

SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion

Always delivering great products for mom and baby (love their Calming line), this fragrance-free, PABA-free, and non-chemical sunscreen is another winner from California Baby. It contains a highly micronized titanium dioxide that scatters and reflects dangerous UV rays. Plus, it’s water resistant and will still be effective after 80 minutes of having fun playing in the water.
