Spring 2013: Sunscreen Shopping



I do this post every spring... because it is important. You need to shop for sunblock each year because last years sunblock will lose potency with time and changes in temperature.

Before I go to the store, I check in on my favorite database from EWG Skin Deep. It is an amazing resource where you can look up your product and find out everything from it's cancer causing chemicals, developmental & reproductive toxicity and allergies & immunotoxicity info.

You can the see a rating system for each product (0-2 is Low Hazard, 3-6 is Moderate and 7-10 is High Hazard.)

I went with the Badger Sunscreen again this year for my girls as it had a rating of 1 and was relatively inexpensive. There are some great organic products out there, but they cost $20 for 2 ounces! My kids would go through that in a day!

Just remember that even on days when it feels cool, you are still getting a ton of sun on a bright day. The girls and I spend the last few days of our spring break outside... and even though we were in sweatshirts due to the cooler temperatures, we all ended up with rosy cheeks!
