Soleo Organics all natural SUNSCREEN, SPF 30 Review

Soleo Organics all natural SUNSCREEN, SPF 30
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We just bought and used this product due to its high ratings on Skin Deep (an agency that uses a rating system to inform the public of the toxicity of a products ingredients) but after using it for a few days on our trip to Florida, we tossed it in the trash.
We have four kids, ranging in age from 1-12, and we are vigilant about sun protection (our kids all wear rash-guards as well as sun screens while swimming) and re-applications of lotions but we had several bad burns on our little ones. Last year, we used California Baby products and though it was bit tough to rub in, our kids never burned.
This stuff was greasy too, but I would have tolerated that if it had worked!
Mid-vacation I switched my family from Soleo to a back-up tube of California Baby from last year, and it STILL worked better, even being over a year old!
I'd use this product with hesitancy. If you're going out for a bit of sun here and there, it's probably fine. But if it's your main protection against the sun--think twice. There are better products on the market with low toxicity ratings.

Desert Essence Sunscreen Mineral SPF30 Review

I I found this face block on the Environmental Working Group's list of safest sunscreens. It is very thick - a little goes a long way. It leaves the skin slightly whitened, but since I use it under makeup, it doesn't show. I was at the beach for 4 hours and never had to re-apply. I would buy this product again.

Sun'n'Berry Fun Organic Baby Sunscreen SPF 50+, with Antioxidants & Superberries 3.3oz Review

Though the price is a little higher than what I would normally pay for sunscreen, since it was listed in a recent magazine article to be one of the top 10 sunscreens, I decided to splurge and give it a try. It was worth every penny! A little goes a long way because it's thick. It smells FANTASTIC; more like a scented lotion than a sunscreen. Once absorbed, you don't even feel like you're wearing sunscreen. AWESOME protection. I would recommend (and have!) this product to anyone who takes skin protection seriously, especially if you're active outdoors.

Sol Kid Care SPF 25 Sunscreen By Caribbean Solutions - 6 Ounces Review

Sol Kid Care SPF 25 Sunscreen By Caribbean Solutions - 6 Ounces
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Caribbean Sol works really well and does not contain any of the scary sunscreen chemicals that harm people or marine life. It has a nice scent, not at all chemical. It goes on whitish because the active ingredients are mineral sun blockers, not chemical sun absorbers, but then disappears after a while, which is an incentive to put it on well before you go outside, which is better for sun protection anyway. It stays put and is non-greasy. The kids' formula is labeled water resistant.
It's a good value for a natural product -- and if you read the labels, a lot of the "natural" sunscreens contain the exact ingredients you want to avoid. Department store cosmetic brands sell sunscreens at twice the price with the same nasty chemicals as the drugstore brands. Choose carefully.

Goddess Garden Kids Natural Sunscreen SPF 30_Family Size_6 oz Review

Goddess Garden Kids Natural Sunscreen SPF 30_Family Size_6 oz

(More customer reviews)
After my mother had a few cancerous moles removed, I became quite vigilant about sunscreen at the ripe old age of 16. Unfortunately, despite buying the highest SPF sunscreens, and reapplying every 2 hours, I would inevitably end up tanned - or worse yet, burnt. Blotchy breakouts on my face from even the most gentle of sunscreens was to be expected.
When i had children, who also had sensitive skin, my quest for a good, safe sunscreen became more important. We're outside every day in the summer, and we play hard. I wanted to find a good sunscreen that could protect us all, preferably without rashes and breakouts.
This sunscreen fits the bill. One application in the morning seems to be sufficient to keep us protected all day - even in the water. No one breaks out, and no one complains about the smell.
That isn't to say that it's perfect. It's thick. It's white. If you don't rub it in well enough, you will have friends making anxious inquiries about your health. And if you want a summer tan, well.. this one is probably too effective for you. We're still January pale - and I'm thrilled.

Mexitan SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen-# MEX-30-8 Review

Mexitan SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen-# MEX-30-8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product 2 months ago and tested it first on a sunny day when I knew I'd be outside long enough to see results. I smeared a dot on each shoulder - should've put it all over because I ended up being out much longer than planned and burned each shoulder except for the quarter sized pale dot where the Mexitan had been applied. My husband and I use it frequently on ourselves and our 3 little boys - no one has gotten burned yet. We do apply it 20-30 minutes before going out so that it has time to work properly. The smell is not offensive, just clean and fresh smelling. I have very sensitive skin but haven't had any rashes, so that makes me happy.
Our only complaint is that if you rub it too long or apply to an area where you already just applied it, it can slough or roll off in little bits. It spreads very easily unlike some of the other sunscreens that are safer or more natural. Takes a little practice and getting used to - just spread quickly and thoroughly and don't overspread or overapply. I'm much better with it, my husband is not as patient, but getting there.
If you are swimming, heavily applied areas can whiten, but the excess disappears with a gentle swipe. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, but hey, it's not full of chemicals so I think I can handle some streaking. We do exercise common sense by being careful to watch for signs of burning even when we're using suncreen, but we haven't had that problem so far with this product. So far our experience with this product has been positive.

California Baby SPF 30+ Fragrance Free Sunscreen - 2.9 oz Review

This is a fabulous sunblock for kids. It spreads easily on the skin, and is not "tacky" feeling to the touch, like some other sunblocks we've tried. Yes, it turns the skin whitish - but that is part of how it is able to be an effective sunblock without the nasty chemicals present in other sunblocks. Children have thinner skin than adults so it is even more important to use natural products on them, as they absorb more of whatever you are putting on them - for my child, I would rather have her look whit-ish than be absorbing chemicals through her skin. Our whole family uses this product and have found it very effective in providing protection from the sun.

TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30 3.5 oz Review

TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30 3.5 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've always bought the all-natural sunscreens with physical sunblock ingredients (zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide), and no artificial fragrances or unnecessary chemicals -- e.g., Badger sunscreen, California Baby, UV Natural, etc. The downside of these sunscreens is that they generally tend to be very thick, fairly oily, and difficult to spread -- in some cases almost like a paste. (The one exception was the Weleda sunscreen, which had a beautiful texture and was nice for faces, but didn't seem to last as long.) The Trukids is the first all-natural sunscreen we've found that offers serious protection and is genuinely easy to spread. It is somewhat liquidy, spreads quickly even on an impatient child, absorbs easily, and is not greasy. The scent is mild and pleasant (sort of a natural creamsicle scent). It also contains micronized minerals (as opposed to nanoparticles), for those who are concerned about the possible risks associated with nanoparticles.

Sun*Si'Belle+ SPF 50 Organic Triple Action Moisturizer, with Antioxidants, CoQ10 and Hyaluronic Acid Review

Lets see, where to begin. I live in Florida where we need sunscreen year round, especially if your outdoors a lot. Aside from working I ride my mountain bike 100-200 miles per week (combination of trail and road, needless to say suncreen is important. This year I think I have tried every sunscreen on the market, literetly. All neutorgena products eventually made my eyes swell and constant water, aveeno did the same, as did olay, and every other brand on the shelf. One day I purchased Blue Lizard sensitive skin , as I thought it was a pretty safe product, and it is. However, I apply sunscreen every 2 hours when I am in the sun (as suggested) and the blue lizard seemed to get pretty greasy, to the point that I was taking a paper towel and pat my entire face to try and soak some of it up.Fallene products went on smoothly but dried my face out, as did the blue lizzard. Vanicream was nice, but greasy as well. I began to try products like badger and beyond coastal when I accidentlly came across the EWG website listing the 2010 best/safest sunscreen products.
At the very top is sweetsation products. ALthough more money on intial cost, you actually are spending less because you need less. The products ingredients are all truly organic and that is why EWG name it top sunscreen/moisteruizer (spelling error).
The SPF 50 is easier to spread than the SPF30. The product blends in immedietly, does not make your face feel greasy, and last along time (even for me riding 2-3 hours in 90 degree weather). I have not felt any stinging in my eyes or flushing on my skin. Absolutely no effects like every other sunscreen on the market has given me. I am not someone who likes strong frangrances, and this product does not have that at all.
At first, it will leave a white cast, but if you gently rub it in and wait a few minutes the ghostly look goes away. The slightly white cast is worth the quality of the product.
When I first bought the SPF 30 I was thrown off a bit applying it, as it seemed to clump up on my face. The clumps would go away once I was able to rub them in, but had to wait a few minutes. My face immedietly had this new glow to it, I truly had not seen my face look this fresh in years (33 years old now). I am not pregant, but since I ride my bike so much in the sun I have become concerned about my health and the safety of the products I use. Sweetsation products are the safest and do wonders for your skin. I find my face to have this fresh look, like a healthy glow. I have noticed friends looking at me, one friend told me how healthy my face looked. She commented as soon as she saw me that morning. I didn't even mention to her anything about applying anything.
Anyway, I really liked the SPF 30 and didn't want to return so I emailed the company at the sweetsation therapy website directly, on a Saturday evening a couple of weeks ago actually. Too my surpise, about an hour later my phone had an incoming email, and it was from the owner of Sweetsation Therapy. Her email response was very impressive, how many businesses will email their clients on the weekends? not many. She gave me very helpful tips; suggested only apply a pea size or less at a time or putting a serum or day cream on first. This worked very well (the pea size amount) and no clumping at all. I was truly impressed with the cutsomer service. Since that Saturday (1-2 weeks ago) I have asked the owner a few more questions and she has always responded, never missed a question.
Sweetsation products are truly great. Even if your not in the sun everyday, the products are worth every penny. They last a very long time, longer than over the counter products and most others.
