☀️Fun in the sun!!
There are so many sunscreens out there to choose from and so many of them make claims to be safe options for us and our little people.
🤢Don’t be fooled by a pretty label my friends!
Turn the bottle around and read those ingredients even if the front says..
- Natural
- Paraben free
- Baby safe
- Dermatologist recommended
…I could keep going
The point is the ingredient label is where it’s at!!
🔍Look out for ingredients like…
‼️Phenoxyethanol (you will find this in lots of labels that claim to be clean)
The next 4 are in lots of sunscreens
‼️Homosalate
‼️Octinoxate
‼️Octocrylene
‼️Oxybenzone
And then double check Becoming Mom’s List of Ingredients to Avoid.
You are likely to find….
‼️Fragrance
‼️PEG’s
‼️Parabens
And maybe more
Also be aware that spray on SPF has risk or inhalation.
Short list but definitely look out for these brands ..
❌Banana Boat
❌Aveeno
❌Babyganics
❌Mustela
❌SunBum
❌Neutrogena
❌Blue Lizard
It’s not just kids sunscreens to look out for the adult versions of those above plus others like
❌Alba Botanicals
❌Beautycounter
❌Clinique
❌Nivea
And more.
So what do you want in sunscreen?!
🔍Look for..
☀️Mineral sunscreen with active ingredients like Titanium dioxide and Non nano zinc
🌊Reef safe
