Oh I wish we were still on vacation... We're back and we got a great dose of vitamin D for sure, but to keep us from burning I wanted to use some non-toxic sunscreen on my pregnant self, my toddler, and my husband who burns easily. We got to try the Marie Veronique Organics Kid Safe Screen with great success. I applied it whenever I knew we would be in the sun for more than 20 minutes and it did a great job of keeping us burn free (except for the time my husband took his shirt of in the canoe and I didn't put any sunscreen on him!).
There are a few things I love about this sunscreen. First, that it is completely non-toxic and contains non-nano zinc oxide. Second, with an SPF of 25 you still get a tan but not a burn. Third, it doesn't leave you as 'white' as other similar sunscreens I've tried, it absorbs into the skin better. The only issue I had was with the dispenser, not the sunscreen. If you're not careful it will shoot the sunscreen all over the place when you push the top. I really tried to place some in my palm but kept getting it on the stroller, on my shoes, and on clothes (washed off just fine). With a little practice I got better at dispensing it. A different container/dispenser would make this even better! It is also a little on the expensive side for my wallet at $19.00 for a 2.7 oz bottle. But...
